It’s exactly the same function as on the other lenses within the GF system. It has the “A” mode, and the lockable “C” mode where aperture control is handed over to the body to use with a command dial. The aperture ring clicks in 1/3 stop increments, and goes from f/3.5 to f/32. It has a nice rippled rubber grip on the focus ring, and it has a dedicated aperture ring. It’s an all metal barrel with a metal mount. The GF50mm f/3.5 continues with the same great build quality as the rest of the lineup. That also mean that we (the Fujifilm GFX users) have gotten used to the build quality of the Fujinons by now.

Image quality might therefore not be final, although I have been told that it is.ĭisclaimer 3: All shots with- and of the product has been shot by me, and is not to be used without my explicit permission. I expect you to be adults, capable of forming your own opinions based on presented information.ĭisclaimer 2: All the images in this article has been shot using 2 different prototypes of the GF50mm f/3.5 lens.
This means that I’m just about as biased as I can get, and whether you choose to believe my views or not is entirely up to you. I get sent the gear when I do the editorial packshots for Fujifilm Japan (and for this I get paid, just as I should be!) – So I get to play around with the gear a little bit when they’re around the house. I don’t get paid for doing these write ups (and I have been doing them even before getting involved with Fujifilm). That’s spelled brand ambassador for Fujifilm.

Feel free to skip everything but number 3 😉ĭisclaimer 1: I’m an X-photographer. Separation | GFX50R | GF50mm f/3.5īefore we get going for real, I need to do a couple of disclaimers just to set everything straight. These two obviously tend to go hand in hand, but with the GF50mm f/3.5 they’re the definite selling points of the lens. What I find so incredibly appealing is the size of the lens, and the focusing speed. What is it that is so attractive to me about this lens? Well, it certainly cannot be the maximum aperture of f/3.5 can it? – well, it isn’t – but if maximum aperture and bokehliciousness is all you’re concerned with, then buy a vintage Minolta Rokkor, and go nuts.

could it be? Yes it was the GF50mm f/3.5!Ī lot of drinks and a night out later (I will save the full story of that night for offline conversations over beers!) I woke up hung over in my hotel room with the GF50mm ready for shooting! – That was 60 days ago, and the lens has not left the mount of my GFX50R ever since! “Splash” | GFX50R | GF50mm f/3.5 – detail of those water droplets…. The first thing I saw was a GFX100, then a GF100-200mm and then my heart skipped a beat…. We were having dinner with the top management of Fujifilm, and I got handed some gear to shoot while I was in Tokyo. But mounting it on my GFX50R made it oh so clear to me that this lens was THE lens for my photography needs on the GFX50R.įast forward to may 2019 at a small restaurant in Tokyo, and that’s where I got handed “my precious” The lens was a mere mockup with plastic elements back then. I first had the GF50mm f/3.5 in my hands back before Photokina 2018 where I was doing some product shots of the GFX family.
This article is about a piece of gear that I’ve been awaiting for soooo long, that was released alongside the brilliant new 16-80mm f/4 zoom for the x-series I’m not a reviewer, I’m a photographer.Īlright. It will still focus on giving you a thorough look at the latest Fujifilm gear, but not through specs, rather through my images. So, now my reviews will be labeled “first look previews”. I have never hid the fact that I was deeply involved with Fujifilm, nor that my views were obviously biassed because of said relationship. It’s the same as it has always been, but as someone in an internet forum recently made me aware, “A hotel staff member can’t review the hotel he works for”.
