Small Wonder: Fujifilm Introduces Fujinon XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS
Fujifilm X Series' smallest compact zoom lens, with impressive close focusing capabilities, covering wide-angle to standard focal lengths
VALHALLA, N.Y. -- Fujifilm North America Corp., Electronic Imaging Division, today announced the release of its Fujinon XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS Lens (XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS).
"Our Fujinon XC lenses have always represented a perfect entry point into the X Mount lens ecosystem for still-centric creators," said Victor Ha, vice president, Electronic Imaging and Optical Devices Divisions, Fujifilm North America Corp. "Fujinon XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS is no different. It is perfect for those everyday moments because of its optical image stabilization and a versatile zoom range, which is ideal for everything from the big picture all the way down to the smaller details."
Product Features
Fujifilm's smallest and lightest zoom lens
XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS is a compact standard zoom lens measuring just 1.48 inches[1] (37.5mm) and weighing 4.4o (125g); the smallest and lightest in Fujifilm's current lineup.
When not in use, the lens body retracts, making it ideal for carrying or storage.
A design that blends portability with versatility
XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS covers focal lengths ideal for everyday use, from the wide-angle 13mm (35mm equivalent: 20mm) useful for everything from expansive landscapes and confined indoor spaces, to the standard 33mm (35mm equivalent: 50mm), effective for portraits and street photography.
Featuring a 10-element in nine-group construction, including four aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion glass elements, it suppresses typical wide-angle lens characteristics including distortion, field curvature and chromatic aberration across the entire zoom range.
Offers a minimum focus distance of 7.87 inches (20cm) across the entire zoom range and a maximum magnification of 0.25x at the telephoto end, making XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS ideal for close-ups of flowers and plants, pets and more.
Further features add to creative options
XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS includes a 0-stop Optical Image Stabilization[2] mechanism that expands creative options to include handheld night photography and pictorial use of slow shutter speeds.
The lens can autofocus in as little as 0.025 seconds[3], exemplifying the lens' high-speed, high-precision performance.
The nine-blade aperture achieves a more circular bokeh effect compared to conventional XC zoom lenses[4]. This enables beautiful soft focus effects on a wide range of scenes, including portraits, landscapes and nightscapes.
Pricing and Availability
Fujinon XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS lens will be available late January 2026 at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $399.95 and $489.99 CAD.
