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
