Fujinon 80mm F1.7 R WR Lens Announced for Medium Format GFX Series

Fujifilm adds a new Fujinon GF 80mmF1.7 R WR lens to its G-mount series of lenses. Fujifilm has released the Fujinon GF 80mm F1.7 R WR lens, which is compatible with its GFX camera systems including the GFX100 and new GFX100S. The fast 80mm F1.7 prime features a 9 blade aperture design that's capable of producing a nice rounded bokeh. Optically, it has 12 elements in 9 groups including one aspherical element and two Super ED elements to minimize aberrations. Shooting wide open, users should experience edge-to-edge sharpness. When paired with a GFX camera, the 80mm F1.7 offers a 37.7° field of view and an approximately 27" (0.7m) minimum focusing distance. On a full-frame camera, the lens is a 63mm equivalent. As you'd expect from Fujifilm, the lens is designed with internal seals for dust and weather resistance and can operate in temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C). Additional fluorine coatings on the front element provide the added benefit of being water, dust, and dirt repellent. Read More...
