What it frames
From 3 m back it takes in a scene about 1.4 m wide at 50 mm and 0.3 m wide at 230 mm on the X-T50.
At its highest magnification, 0.2x, a subject about 12 cm wide fills the frame of the X-T50. Its closest focus is 110 cm from the sensor; on a zoom that distance and the highest magnification can belong to different zoom settings.
Fujifilm lists no teleconverter for this lens.
