Fujifilm GF 50mm F3.5: an Easy Lens to Love

On March 29, the huge deal on the Fujinon GF 50mm f/3.5 will end.

Now DPR shared a first impressions article about this lens, and here are some of their remarks:

  • it’s sharp. Very, very sharp. Fujifilm has claimed that all the GF lenses were designed for more than 100MP of resolution
  • I was rather impressed to see essentially perfect sharpness all the way out to the extreme corners and I didn’t notice any practical difference in quality throughout the aperture range
  • I couldn’t find any chromatic aberrations in any images
  • On my GFX 50R, focusing from close to far with the 50mm seems faster than all my other GF prime lenses except the 23mm
  • It locks on almost instantly with hardly any ‘wobble’ and a barely audible ‘zip’ sound
  • Fujifilm made the autofocus of this 50mm medium format lens feel a lot more like one of the better X-mount APS-C lenses than any other medium format lens I’ve used. It’s certainly faster than manual focus on Hasselblad V system lenses, faster than Pentax 645 AF lenses, and faster than Mamiya / Phase One AF lenses I’ve used in the past
  • Close focus could be closer. […] It would be easy to suggest simply cropping into the much higher resolution GFX image
  • I’m actually very impressed by this lens’s flare resistance
  • Overall, the Fujifilm GF 50mm F3.5 lens is easy to love
  • It transforms the GFX 50R into a camera that is actually very easy to carry around and shoot with casually, which is definitely NOT something you can say of most medium format gear
  • I’ve shot with some of the best, most expensive gear in the world… and this 50mm is among the sharpest lenses I’ve ever used

Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Shift Full Frame Lens on Fujifilm GFX – First Sample Images

Venus Optics will soon launch the Laowa 15mm f/4.5 W-Dreamer shift lens for full frame cameras.

Now we have some sample images and we can give a few more details about how this full frame lens works on the Fujifilm GFX medium format system.

According to a beta tester, the Laowa 15mm f/4.5 W-Dreamer shift lens can be used on Fujifilm GFX, but the ability to shift is limited to ± 7.

Here is his the feedback the Chinese beta tester gave so far:

Although the image field of the shift lens is much larger than the ordinary 135 format lens, if the offset is too large (± 7 or more) on the 44×33 format, it will still have a dark angle

@ 老 frog lens 15-axis image field perfectly covers the 4433 sensor, visually there is 5mm up and down, and 3mm left and right shift amount

@ 老 frog lens 15-axis transfer to Fuji GFX 50R, the picture quality looks pretty good, even if it is an ordinary ultra-wide-angle lens, the perspective is very strong. Blessed 4433 users

Fujinon GF 45-100mm f/4 Review: Superb Quality, Fujifilm Shows Their Skill to Produce First Class Medium Format Lenses

The Fujinon GF 45-100mm f/4 lens is now in stock at BHphoto, AmazonUS and Adorama.

So high time for a first review roundup, which also includes the test made by ephotozine, who ends up highly recommending it for it’s “superb and more affordable medium format for the highest quality“:

There is little doubt as to the quality of this lens, giving us masses of resolution, outstanding sharpness, beautiful bokeh, and a virtual lack of any of the usual aberrations such as CA and distortion. There is a small amount of flare in the worst scenarios, but we have to work at it to find it. Fujifilm certainly show that they still have all the skills for producing first class medium format lenses, and it is remarkable that they can do this in a zoom lens as well. Quality, versatility and a price that is very realistic. What’s not to like?

Pros:

  • Outstanding sharpness
  • Ultra-low CA
  • Ultra-low distortion
  • Low vignetting
  • Beautiful bokeh
  • Excellent handling
  • Fast and accurate AF
  • Superb medium format quality

Cons:

  • Slight flare in extreme situations
  • Costs reasonable but high end
