Versatile Normal-Range Power Zoom. Providing a 35mm-equivalent range of 23-69mm, the compact, retractable XC 15-45mm is great as a walk-around zoom lens in daylight conditions. The built-in optical image stabilization allows you to hand-hold slower shutter speeds, which is very helpful in low light with the limited f/3.5-5.6 aperture. It also offers a fast, silent autofocus system.

High-Quality Optics. The nine-group/ten-element optical design ensures high image quality. Three aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion elements help to minimize chromatic aberrations, distortions, and color fringing throughout the zoom range. There’s also Fuji’s Super Electron Beam Coating, which reduces ghosting and lens flare.

Versatility. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm gives you pleasing bokeh when you’re using selective focus and shallow depth of field. You can get up close with the 5.1-inch minimum focusing distance.
