Its optical design incorporates 12 elements in 9 groups, including three aspherical elements and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements.

Weather-Resistant Construction for Confidence in Any Environment:

This allows you to confidently shoot in challenging environmental conditions, such as light rain or dusty environments, without worrying about damage to your lens.
Fast and Accurate Autofocus:
The XF 8mm F3.5 R WR utilizes an internal focusing system driven by a stepping motor. This ensures fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus performance, crucial for both still photography and video recording. You can quickly and confidently lock onto your subject, even in dynamic shooting situations.
