Fujifilm is finally getting some long fast glass for its X series of cameras. Announced today, the Fujifilm XF 200mm f/2 OIS WR Lens with XF 1.4x TC F2 WR Teleconverter. Offering a full frame equivalent field of view to a 300mm lens, this is the longest Fuji X system lens by a long shot.

Also announced today is a new wide zoom, the Fujifilm XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR. Also designed for the Fuji X series, this lens offers a 12-24mm full frame equivalent field of view.

With the new XF 1.4x TC F2 WR teleconverter, that 200mm f/2 lens gives the equivalent field of view to 420mm on a full frame camera. Ideal for sniping wildlife or sports action. And with that large f/2 diameter, using the 1.4x tele brings it down to only f/2.8, keeping it still very bright for focusing.
