Through the Glass of GF Lenses

Fujifilm published episode 3 of their GFX technologies series, and this time it’s about the Lenses (epsiode 1 – Sensor / episode 2 – G-mount). Some excerpts:

  • The reason why we are introducing the new GF Lenses with the new GFX camera system is that the image quality of digital medium format can truly shine if the lenses are optimized for the latest (and future) technologies.
  • G Mount incorporates mirrorless technology and high-pixel-count CMOS sensor so that an ideal lens design could be realized.
  • The G Mount sensor has resolving power of that 4×5 large format with the mere size of 43.8×32.9mm. Rather than cropping the center of large format lenses, better images are delivered by optimal lens design for the image circle.
  • We put much higher cost and labor for GF Lenses than for that of a typical lens.
  • The GF Lenses can cope with a resolution up to 100MP. It means that the lens has a resolving power an image circle that is 4x larger than that of an APS lens. The MTF chart of GF Lenses comes with 40 lines per mm, which is higher frequency than 35mm format lenses, exactly our vision and goal for GF Lens performance.
