DPRTV Fujinon GF 50mm F3.5 Review

Fujinon GF 50mm F3.5

The Fujinon GF 50mm f/3.5 is not only the newest, smallest, lightest and most affordable lens in the GF lens line-up, but it’s also the currently best selling G mount lens.

But what do you give up in exchange for the small size?

According to Chris from DPReview, not much. Here is what he says in his Fujinon GF 50mm F3.5 review:

  • smallest and lightest lens for the Fujifilm GFX system
  • manual focus ring is buttery smooth
  • linear motor AF. Tested on Fujifilm GFX100 the AF speed is very impressive. From near to far focus is quick
  • lens design is relatively complicated compared to other “pancake” lenses, and it’s amazing that Fujifilm was able to keep it that small
  • minimal breathing
  • very sharp
  • can easily handle the resolution of the GFX100
  • the GF50mm f/3.5 is a full frame equivalent of 40mm f/2.8
  • very good center sharpness even wide open
  • surprising the corners, which hold up very well too
  • optically a very sharp lens
  • very minor and very well controlled color fringing
  • you are going to like the bokeh, maybe a little bit of a darker edge, but very smooth interiors and very nice round shape even stopped down
  • the lens is a bit too wide for portraits. the GF63mm is a better choice, or the best overall is the GF110mm f/2
  • macro capability is not amazing, but you will use it on high resolution cameras, so you can crop the hell out of it
  • Chris still prefers the 63mm focal length, but if you want to save money, size and weight, the GF50mm is great

Looks like Fujifilm crafted yet another winner. Well done, Fuji!

Fujifilm Wins “Good Design Award 2019” for 32 Products Including for 5 Unreleased Products

FujiRumors has exposed the naked truth about (some) award business here. I invite you to read this article to be illuminated ;).

A total of 940 companies and 1,420 products won the “Good Design Award” in 2019.

The probably most interesting part of Fujifilm winning 32 design awards this year, is that the list shows only 27 products, and 5 more have yet to be announced.

Will one of them be the mysterious registered X or GFX camera here?

Here is the list of photography related winning products.

    *Above feature varies depending on what camera you use

Given that now Fujifilm has updated its camera remote App, as well as already released a dedicated Fujifilm Instax Mini Link app, the official announcement can’t be that far away anymore.

Fujifilm Instax Mini Link App Released

Fujifilm has just released their new Instax Mini Link App today (iOS, Android) for the soon to come Fujifilm Instax Mini Link.
