We continue covering Fujifilm’s Focus on Glass series, this time with the Fujinon GF80mmF1.7. Down below is a summary.
Also down below you can find the final review of the Fujinon GF80mmF1.7 by Dustin Abbott and ZP Productions (videos + summary).
Fujifilm just launched a $500 mail-in rebate on the these three Fujinon G mount lenses that goes until April 18.
Save $500 via mail-in rebate
ATTENTION: Mail-In rebate is not applicable to back orders. Hence if the lens runs out of stock and maybe stays so due to COVID or other reasons, you won’t be able to grab the deal. So better place your order until it is available.
Down below the full Terms and Conditions.
In short: you basically first purchase the gear you want at an official retailer. Done that, go to this Fujifilm page and claim your $500 Prepaid Mastercard before 5 P.M. EST on May 18, 2021.
UPDATE: The code lasted only for a few hours and has now expired. I am happy that some of you could get a nice deal thanks to it :)
FR-reader Happy (thanks) noticed and shared with us some sweet deals you can get at BHphoto if you use coupon code “BHCC02″ (apply once product is added to cart).
The deals include all Fujinon G mount lenses (including the brand new Fujinon GF80mmF1.7), the Fujifilm X-T4, the bokeh beast XF50mmF1.0, the Fujifilm X100V and more. The deals are not available at AmazonUS or Adorama.
I have no idea how long the coupon code will remain active, so better act fast and grab now what you want.
Sadly I can’t see the Fujifilm GFX100S in offer or other cameras other the the ones I list below.
The coupon code works also on accessories such as Lexar SD cards, Godox flash and Peak Design strap.
At the time of the post, these are the deals (use coupon code BHCC02 at checkout):
GF Lenses
X Cameras and Lensers
Accessories
Use code BHCC02 at once you added the product in the cart.
We have published follow up coverage to the GFX100S here, the GF80mmF1.7 here, X-E4 and XF27mmF2.8 R WR here.
There is only one missing from the big annoucnements we had on January 27: the lovely Fujinon XF70-300mm f/4.5.6.
So far it seems Fujifilm has crafted a very fine, small and affordable lens. And since I get this questions often: yes, it works with the Fujifilm XF Teleconverters!
Remember, another long superzoom is coming in 2022: the Fujinon XF150-600mm!

ZP Productions published his review about the Fujinon GF80mm f/1.7 on his youtube channel. Since he owns the GF110mmF2, he also compares to that lens.
Down below is a summary, but the 12 minutes video linked below is well worth watching.
To certain degree, it’s just inevitable to see CA in such super fast lenses. Some show more if it, some less, and from what I could see in the sample in the video, the Fujinon GF80mmF1.7 shows a very reasonable and acceptable amount of CA in some conditions.
Look for example at the just announced Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM lens. Right now some people are actually quite impressed by how much chromatic aberration it shows wide open (DPR highlights it as the main flaw of this lens) and they hope that the shipping delay announced for the Sony 35mmF1.4 GM means that Sony is somehow trying to quickly fix it.
In some situation in life you just have to come down, stop down, and all will be good again ;).
Another review has been published by Patrick Tomasso (video below). Here are his thoughts about the Fujinon GF80mmF1.7.

On January 27, Fujifilm announced three lenses, the Fujinon GF 80mm f/1.7, the XF 70-300mm and the XF27mmF2.8 MK II.
Guess which one enjoyed the strongest pre-orders on FujiRumors?
It’s the most expensive one, the GF80mmF1.7! The lens is marked as top seller at BHphoto and AmazonUS stopped taking pre-orders on it!
We have already seen in our big live blog, that the feedback on this lens is spectacular. Now we add a few more first looks to it.

Recently we told you that Fujifilm will launch a new Fujinon GF zoom in 2021.
Trusted sources would like me to specify, that the GF zoom will come in the first half of 2021.
Fujifilm is seriously stepping on the gas with the GFX system in 2021! Keep the good stuff coming, Fujifilm!

Fellow FR-readers,
at the risk of getting emotional, I owe you an update.
I told you a few days ago that I was about to become father. And I noticed that in the comments people rightfully asked if I am father now or not.
The answer is yes.
And faster than any Fujifilm camera can focus, my son became the biggest joy of my life.
It was like all those moments of happiness I missed in my life, that have been taken away from me or that I was not able to catch, all that happiness I’ve lost on my way until today, the universe did not throw that happiness away, but stored it somewhere in a secret place and decided to give it back to me all at once the moment my son was born.
Or to say it in an even more poetic way: it felt so good like Fujifilm would have released the X-H2 ;).
Sadly, though, during the birth and now also in his first days of life, my son has some struggles and he has to fight a little bit. But he is in excellent hands. They check him constantly, and always give him the treatments he needs. I am confident that in a few days, I will finally be able to bring them home.
Images of my baby?
Well, something strange happened.
We were at 4 hours after the birth, when my wife noticed I hadn’t taken a single image. She asked me if did not want to take pictures. That’s why I brought my gear with me, right? After she told me this, I took a few images, but then stopped immediately and told her “I just want to be in this moment now, I’ll take pictures tomorrow!”
This alone, shows the magnitude of the event… I forgot my gear! ;).
There is another big change: I don’t teach anymore!
No, I didn’t quit, but I took daddy-time off until the summer break (with part of my teacher salary still paid to me). My top priority now is my family. I keep my teaching job, still get some salary, but can be at home and take care of everybody.
And FujiRumors?
Well, I promise you that FR-readers will always be the first to know everything. Don’t worry about that. And you’ll still get your 1,000 free articles a year. What eventually will change, is that I won’t be able to reply to all 7,000 emails I get a year. I’ll try, but I can’t promise.
Certainly it helps that I have a few months off from teaching. This frees up much time, which will mostly be used for my family, but I will surely re-invest some of the added time also into FujiRumors.
So, that was it already.
I am totally happy.
I wish you all the best and see you soon again on FujiRumors :)

According to information I have received from trusted sources, Fujifilm will release a new GF zoom lens in 2021. The lens does not show up on any roadmap and has also not been hinted by Fujifilm in any shape or form.
In our big “What we Expect from Fujifilm in 2021” overview, we noticed that there is indeed one zoom lens, that once appeared on an internal roadmap (leaked by FujiRumors), but until now never saw the light of the day.
But at this point in time I do not know if it is that lens, or another zoom lens.
I am investigating and will let you know as soon as I can.
