Fujifilm X-T5 + XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR Silver

Familiar retro charm and state-of-the-art technology are once again combined by Fujifilm in the new X-T5. As usual, the Fujifilm X-T5 also offers an APS-C sensor with the popular film simulation, which allows 19 different simulations.

The X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor of the Fujifilm X-T5

The new sensor of Fujifilm offers not only strong 40.2 MP but sensor already made its way into the Fujifilm X-H2. Thus, this stacked sensor is able to record up to 8K video and offers a particularly high continuous shooting of 40 frames per second. The high-resolution CMOS sensor does not require an optical low-pass filter, which, among other things, counteracts moiré. This is because the special arrangement of the pixels on the sensor helps to reduce the formation of moiré.

This new pixel structure also contributes to the sensor's ability to store a larger amount of light, so the sensor's default sensitivity is now ISO 125. The X-T5 offers a very fast shutter speed of 1/180.00 with electronic shutter. This shutter speed makes it possible to work with an open aperture in almost any situation, allowing plenty of room for creativity.

The ISO range of the Fujifilm X-T5 goes from 125-12,800 and up to 51,200 in the extended range, so there's nothing standing in the way of your next nighttime photo session.

Not only does the X-T5's sensor have a lot going for it, but it also has an IBIS, which provides the sensor with five-axis stabilization. This IBIS offers up to 7 stops of image stabilization. With this, it is not only possible to film very well, but also to photograph well in darker situations.

Another exciting feature of the Fujifilm X-T5 is the Pixel Shift Multishot with which it is possible to shoot 160 MP shots that are ultra-high resolution and thanks to the built-in IBIS also easily possible. When using the function, 20 pictures are taken. During these 20 shots, the IBIS shifts the sensor by half a pixel each to capture every red, green and blue pixel. This creates a perfect image without demosicing artifacts or color errors.

The Fuji X-T5's autofocus performance

The autofocus is not only very fast and once again more reliable thanks to the new X Processor 5, but it has also made some advances in subject detection. The subject detection captures many different subjects such as: Birds, cars, bikes, airplanes, bicycles, motorcycles or people reliably and keeps them in focus. Low light autofocus also offers good & reliable performance down to -7 EV with phase autofocus. Overall, the X-T5 has received some more improved autofocus algorithms and offers very high reliability around portrait, landscape & co.

The new X-Processor 5

The new X-Processor 5 built into the X-T5 is twice as fast as its predecessor, the X-Processor 4 not only offers reduced power consumption, allowing you to take even more shots. In addition, the X-Processor 5 offers HEIF support and improved AI-assisted signal processing.

Retro nostalgia with film simulation

The X-T5 offers 19 digital film simulation modes that reproduce the distinctive look of classic Fujifilm photographic films developed for over 85 years. These modes capture the distinctive hues, shades and nuances for which Fujifilm is so famous, adding a unique touch to your photography.

Video features of the X-T5

Up to 6.2k at 30 frames per second: that's what the Fuji X-T5 gives you at 4:2:2 and 10-bit color depth. Want to shoot 4K footage? The X-T5 films up to 59.94p at 4K and in Full HD up to 240p. For those who value RAW format, external RAW recording is available via HDMI. Also in the camera is the F-Log2 format, which offers up to 13+ stops of dynamic range.

The Fujifilm X-T5 Body

The retro nostalgia of the Fujifilm X-T5 not only offers an excellent feel and a reminder of analog times, but also Power Delivery via USB-C and a Micro HDMI port in addition to two built-in UHS-II SD card slots. The Fuji also scores in terms of robustness: With its weather-resistant body, it is possible to work even in wet conditions. And even if it gets colder, the Fujifilm works at up to -10°C. With a weight of 557g, the camera is also interesting for those for whom weight is an issue.

The viewfinder and the display of the Fujifilm X-T5

The new 33mm fixed focal length (equivalent to 50mm KB) can be used in a variety of ways.
The high F1.4 speed offers additional flexibility in difficult lighting conditions and also enables shots with an exceptionally beautiful bokeh.

A fast and pinpoint autofocus ensures reliable focusing in both photo and video shooting.
The XF33mm F1.4 R LM WR is very much in the tradition of the X series, which not only impresses with its excellent image quality, but also with its handy design. The compact and robustly built Lens has a splash and dust-proof Body. It weighs only about 360 grams and is 73.5 mm long with a filter diameter of 58 mm.

Brilliant image quality
The optical construction of the XF33mm F1.4 R LM WR comprises 15 elements in ten groups. Two aspherical lenses and three ED lenses effectively minimize chromatic and spherical aberrations. Even at F1.4 open aperture, consistently high resolving power is achieved across the entire image area, regardless of the shooting distance.

Two ED lenses and one aspherical lens placed in the focus group in the front part of the Lens prevent unwanted deviations in imaging performance at different shooting distances. This ensures superior image quality from the shortest setting distance to "infinity" (∞).

Universal Standard Focal Length
The XF33mm F1.4 R LM WR offers the popular standard focal length of 50mm (KB equivalent). This focal length is closest to the usual viewing impression, as the size ratios of objects at different distances correspond to natural perception. The Lens is therefore suitable for a wide range of shooting situations, from portraits and reportage to landscape photography.

The standard focal length stands for a conscious concentration on the essence of photography. It frees the photographer from unnecessary options and, with a more careful composition of the image, supports its effect, which is enhanced by the skillful choice of perspective and subject framing. These compositional possibilities are further enhanced by the short close-up distance of the Lens. The shortest focusing distance is only 30 cm. This corresponds to a maximum magnification of 0.15 times.

Fast, precise and silent autofocus
The new XF33mm F1.4 R LM WR features internal focusing, in which the lightweight focus group is precisely and silently moved to the desired position by a linear motor. Autofocus quickly focuses on the subject in up to 0.04 seconds*, so the exposure is always made at the decisive moment.

When shooting moving subjects in AF-C mode, the focus remains stable on the main subject. This guarantees sharp images even in dynamic situations. Regardless of the shooting distance, the imaging performance of the Lens remains constantly high from the shortest setting distance to "infinity" (∞). Focus breathing is so low that the Lens is also suitable for demanding moving images.

Manual focusing made easy
The setting accuracy of the focus ring has been improved, making manual focusing easier at shallow depth of field. An optimized gear ratio ensures that the focus is adjusted absolutely smoothly even with the least amount of force. The focus ring also features revised knurling, the grooves of which are now easier to clean.

Compact, lightweight, and durable body
Weighing just 360 grams, measuring just 73.5 mm in length, and with a filter size of 58 mm, the XF33mmF1.4 R LM WR is exceedingly handy. The slim and stylish design was achieved by a focus group with a small lens diameter and a space-saving arrangement of the AF linear motor.

The robust Lens is sealed against moisture and dust at eleven points and can be used without restriction down to minus 10 degrees Celsius. This means that photographs can be taken even in wind, rain and freezing cold.

The aperture ring can be secured using an automatic locking mechanism (A Position Lock) to prevent accidental adjustment of the shooting parameters.
