FUJINON'S LARGE FORMAT LENSES
SORTED BY FOCAL LENGTH
Fuji made numerous, large format lenses in 19 different focal lengths over the years, from 65mm super-wide-angle
to 1200mm super-telephoto -- quite a spread.

SW | 90mm | 99.4mm | 8.0-64 | 6/6 | 100 | 216 | S0 | 67mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. If this lens exists, it is just a transitional lens to the NSW 90mm f8.0. It is an improved version of the SW 90mm with full air-spaced design, like the later NSW, but it lacks EBC coating. It would be difficult to distinguish this version from the earlier SW version. |

NW | 105mm | 99.8mm | 5.6-45 | 6/6 | 76 | 162 | C0 | 46mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. This is a new style of 105mm lens for Fujinon. It is much smaller and lighter than the previous 105mm lenses, but it has a six element air-spaced design and is a full f-stop faster. It's coverage is just enough for 4x5 film, however. Notice the big drop in the filter size! |
CM-W | 105mm | 103.4mm | 5.6-45 | 6/5 | 78 | 174 | C0 | 67mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. It is a slightly improved version of the NW 105mm with a slightly wider angle of coverage, but a much larger filter size.. |

W | 125mm | 121.3mm | 5.6-64 | 6/4 | 80 | 210 | S0 | 46mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. It has been seen in different shutters but these were probably after-market modifications. |

NW | 125mm | 120.0mm | 5.6-64 | 6/6 | 76 | 198 | C0 | 46mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. It is a slightly larger and heavier, improved version of the W 125mm with full air-spaced design and EBC coating. The fact that it is simply labeled "W" leads to some confusion. It's hard to know where to list this lens. I'm listing it first because it retained the 46mm filter thread of the earlier W 125mm lenses, but who knows, it might have actually come after the 52mm version. |
NW | 125mm | 120.0mm | 5.6-64 | 6/6 | 76 | 198 | C0 | 55mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. It is a slightly larger and heavier, improved version of the W 125mm with full air-spaced design and EBC coating. The fact that it is simply labeled "W" leads to some confusion. |
NW | 125mm | 120.0mm | 5.6-64 | 6/6 | 76 | 198 | C0 | 52mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. It is the second version of the NW 125mm with a slightly smaller filter thread. The only other change listed in the Fuji literature is a drop in weight of three ounces -- somehow. Except for the filter diameter they are probably impossible to tell apart. The fact that it is simply labeled "W" leads to some confusion. |
NSW | 125mm | 138.8mm | 8.0-45 | 6/6 | 96 | 280 | C0 | 82mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. It is an improved version of the SW 120mm with full air-spaced design and EBC coating -- and a slightly longer focal length. The fact that it is simply labeled "SW" leads to some confusion. |
CM-W | 125mm | 119.9mm | 5.6-64 | 6/5 | 78 | 204 | C0 | 67mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. It is a slightly improved version of the NW 125mm with a slightly wider angle of coverage, but a much larger filter size. |

FUJINAR-W | 15cm | ? | 6.3-64 | 4/3 | ? | ? | S0 | 40.5mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. This is Fujinon's first 150mm lens. It came on a Seikosha #0 shutter which later became Seiko. It was an inexpensive Tessar design. |
W | 150mm | 143.5mm | 6.3-64 | 4/3 | 67 | 198 | S0 | 40.5mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. It was an inexpensive Tessar design and quite probably the same as the earlier Fujinar-W. Why it was designated a member of the W series and not the L series, which are also Tessar designed, is not know. |
W | 150mm | 143.5mm | 6.3-64 | 4/3 | 67 | 198 | S0 | 40.5mm | EBC | It is marked inside the filter ring. The Fuji literature shows it as EBC coated but this is most likely an error in the literature. This is probably, in reality, the same lens as the original W 150mm f6.3. |
W S | 150mm | 143.5mm | 6.3-64 | 4/3 | 67 | 198 | S0 | 40.5mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. It is probably exactly the same as the W 150mm f6.3. |
W | 150mm | 146.0mm | 5.6-64 | 6/4 | 80 | 245 | S0 | 46mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. It is a faster version of the W 150mm 6.3 with two more elements and a larger image circle. |
W | 150mm | 143.5mm | 6.3-64 | 4/3 | 67 | 198 | C0 | 40.5mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. It was probably just a late variant of the W 150mm f6.3 Seiko version. |

T-NAVITAR | 150mm | ? | 5.6-64 | 4/3 ? | 60 | ? | C0 | ? | SINGLE | Navitar is best known for its lenses for 16mm movie cameras, as well as slide and movie projectors. This T-Navitar lens may or may not have been made by Fuji but it is listed in Fuji's large format lens list of 1986 so it is included here. It is noted as being an "Inexpensive Tessar Lens" but it is not listed as a Fujinon L such as the Fujinon L 210mm which was also a less expensive Tessar lens. It is hard to find and little is known about it. All Tessar-type lenses made by Fujinon were single coated. The main intent was to reduce cost without reducing quality. Consequently the number of elements was reduced which also reduced the image circle. EBC coating was not added as another cost saving measure. |
CM-W | 150mm | 144.3mm | 5.6-64 | 6/6 | 73 | 223 | C0 | 67mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. The angle of coverage is smaller, but the image circle remains the same as the 150mm NW -- somehow -- but a much larger filter size. |

SF | 180mm | 176.3mm | 5.6-22 | 3/3 | 58 | 200 | C1 | 46mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. As a slight wide-angle, it is great for landscapes, group shots and full-length portraits.

W | 250mm | 246.1mm | 6.7-64 | 6/4 | 80 | 398 | C1 | 67mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. This later version was produced in a Copal #1 shutter. |
W | 250mm | 246.1mm | 6.7-64 | 6/4 | 80 | 398 | E1 | 67mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. It is the same as the W 250mm, but it came with an electronic Copal shutter that has speeds to 32 seconds. It was a special order lens so it is very hard to find. |
W S | 250mm | 246.1mm | 6.7-64 | 6/4 | 80 | 398 | S1 | 67mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. It is probably exactly the same as the W 250mm except that it is in a Seiko shutter |
FUJINON | 250mm | 223.2mm | 4.5-64 | 4/3 | 59 | 286 | BARREL (75x1mm) | 67mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. 75mm screw-mount. It might be a later, unmarked version of the Fujinar 25cm barrel lens. It was an inexpensive Tessar design, like the Fujinon L series lenses. |
SF | 250mm | 257.8mm | 5.6-22 | 3/3 | 58 | 300 | C3 | 67mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. It came in different Copal shutter styles -- the first did not have evenly spaced f-stops, while the later ones did. |
NW | 250mm | 228.5mm | 6.3-64 | 6/4 | 64 | 312 | C1 | 67mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. This version is a substantial change from the original W 250mm. The optical design is changed significantly although the number of elements and groups, and filter size, remained the same. The lens is 1/2" longer, the image circle is significantly smaller, EBC coating was added, and the lens became slightly faster. The NW and the single-coated W model were both offered for sale at the same time for several years. The fact that the NW is simply labeled "W" leads to some confusion. |
CM-W | 250mm | 239.9mm | 6.3-90 | 6/6 | 65 | 320 | C1 | 67mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. It is an improved version of the NW 250mm with full-air spaced design and a larger image circle |

FUJINAR | 30cm | ? | 4.5-64 ? | 4/3 | ? | ? | BARREL (90x1mm?) | 82mm? | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. It might have a 90mm screw-mount and be an early version of the later Fujinon 300mm in-barrel lens. It was an inexpensive Tessar design. It is probably exactly the same as the earlier Rectar 30cm, but that might not have been coated. |
FUJINON S | 300mm | ? | 5.6-64 | 4/3 | ? | ? | C3 | ? | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. Optically, it may be the same as the later L 300mm f5.6, but it does not appear in any Fuji literature. |

It also might have been sold with a Copal #3s shutter. The other lens features could possibly be different as well. |
W | 300mm | 292.9mm | 5.6-90 | 6/4 | 80 | 420 | C3 | 77mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. The Fuji literature lists a significantly smaller image circle than it actually is. |

SW | 300mm | 325.3mm | 9.0-64 | 6/4 | 100 | 720 | C3 | 145mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. It is an enormous lens in terms of size, cost and weight. It weighed in at over seven pounds! It was a special order lens, and only a few were actually made. Think of it as the F-35 jet fighter of the photographic world. |

W | 300mm | 291.9mm | 5.6-90 | 6/4 | 70 | 420 | C3 | 77mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. It is a somewhat improved version of the W 300mm with EBC coating. For some reason, it was not designated as an NW lens like the 250mm NW which shares the same structure. Go figure! The fact that it is simply labeled "W" leads to some confusion. The Fuji literature lists a significantly smaller angle of coverage -- to match the image circle -- when compared to the earlier version. |
T | 300mm | 195.3mm | 8.0-64 | 5/5 | 39 | 213 | C0 | 67mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. This was Fujinon's third and final true telephoto-design lens for large format cameras. |

It was not made for long, but it is superb for portrait work. You will have to figure out for yourself what the f-stops are when using either of the disks. |

There were two versions of this lens, and it initially appeared with a 49mm filter thread and chrome & black shutter. |

T | 600mm | 383.9mm ? | 12.0-90 | 5/5 | 24 ? | 260 ? | C1 ? | 67mm ? | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. This is obviously an earlier version of the 600mm EBC coated T and the specifications are not known since it is not listed in any Fuji literature. This was Fujinon's second true telephoto-design lens for large format cameras. The specifications are probably the same as the later EBC coated 600mm T, although the appearance is slightly different. On many cameras you will need some extension -- of some sort -- to use this lens, but the results are incredible. |
C | 600mm | 573.0mm | 11.5-64 | 4/4 | 55 | 620 | C3 | 67mm | EBC | It is marked on the lens barrel. It is very small and lightweight for a 600mm lens -- if your camera has enough bellows extension to use it! |

A | 1200mm | 1202.3mm | 24-128 | 6/4 | 50 | 1120 | C3 | 95mm | SINGLE | It is marked inside the filter ring. It weighed in at an impressive FIVE pounds and needed FOUR AND A HALF FEET of bellows to focus at infinity! If you want a 1:1 magnification, you'll need NINE FEET of bellows. But it was really too long for most photographers, so it was not produced for very long. This was a special order lens so it is nearly impossible to find -- let alone to afford. The maximum aperture is f24, not f22, and while the Fuji literature lists the minimum aperture as f90, the f-stops actually run to f128. Likewise, the filter thread is 95mm, not the 102mm listed in the literature. |
