Introducing the FUJINON XC13-33mm F/3.5-6.3 OIS: FUJIFILM X Series’ Smallest Compact Zoom Lens
Fujifilm has unveiled the FUJINON XC13-33mm F/3.5-6.3 OIS, a new compact zoom lens designed to complement the just-announced X-T30 III. The lens becomes the smallest and lightest zoom in the FUJIFILM X Series lineup, offering a versatile range in a highly portable form factor.
A Compact and Versatile Everyday Zoom
“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 Corporation. “FUJINON XC13-33mm F/3.5-6.3 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.”
Covering a 20–50mm equivalent focal range, the XC13-33mm is well-suited for landscapes, street photography, travel, and portraits. The built-in 4-stop Optical Image Stabilization mechanism ensures sharp handheld shots, even at slower shutter speeds.
Optical Design and Performance
Inside, the lens features 10 elements in 9 groups, including four aspherical and three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements to suppress distortion, field curvature, and chromatic aberration. The 9-blade aperture design helps render smooth, rounded bokeh — a rarity among entry-level XC zoom lenses.
Autofocus performance is also a highlight, achieving focus in as little as 0.025 seconds with high precision. The lens can focus as close as 0.2 meters across the zoom range, offering up to 0.25x magnification at the telephoto end — ideal for close-ups and detail-oriented shots.
Smallest and Lightest in the X Series Zoom Lineup
Weighing just 125 grams and measuring 37.5mm in length, the XC13-33mm is the smallest compact zoom lens Fujifilm has ever made. Its retractable design makes it even easier to carry and store, making it a great companion for travel photographers and everyday shooters alike.
Pricing and Availability
The FUJINON XC13-33mm F/3.5-6.3 OIS will be available in late January 2026 for $399.95 USD. The lens is now available for pre-order from major retailers, including B&H Photo.
