Fujifilm has announced an updated roadmap for developing interchangeable lenses for the X Series line of mirrorless digital cameras. The latest roadmap adds three new lenses: the compact, lightweight and stylish semi-wide angle lens XF 23mmF2 R WR, the compact mid-telephoto lens XF 50mmF2 R WR and the mid-telephoto 1:1 macro lens XF 80mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro. The expanded 25-lens lineup covers extensive angles of view from ultra-wide angle to ultra-telephoto, and will now expand the macro category to further enhance photographic versatility.

Changes from the previous roadmap released in February 2015

The XF 120mmF2.8 R Macro lens, listed in the previous roadmap, has been replaced with the XF 80mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR to meet the market demand for compact and lightweight lenses.  To support our customers who were expecting a telephoto macro lens, this new lens is compatible with the existing teleconverters to extend its reach into the telephoto range.
