What it frames

24 mm26 mm

Highlighted: this lens on the X-T50, beside the 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art, from the same spot. A zoom's dashed frame is its longest view.

From 3 m back it takes in a scene about 4.4 m wide at 16 mm and 1.4 m wide at 50 mm on the X-T50.

At its highest magnification, 0.3x, a subject about 7.8 cm wide fills the frame of the X-T50. Its closest focus is 24 cm from the sensor; on a zoom that distance and the highest magnification can belong to different zoom settings.

On the X-T50, to scale

Side view drawn from the published depth of the camera and length of the lens. 678 g together. From the back of the camera to the front of the lens: about 120 mm (48.8 + 71.4 mm).
