NEW Fuji GF lenses for the GFX-50S

In February 2017, Fujifilm introduced the GFX 50S, their medium format mirrorless camera, to wide acclaim. This week they made good on promises to release new lenses for the camera with a mid-range telephoto and a super wide-angle lens, both arriving in June.

The Fujinon GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR looks to be aimed at portrait photographers. It’s a medium telephoto lens with a focal length equivalent to 87mm in 35mm-terms, featuring an aperture of f/2 at its widest – which should make the most of the medium format GFX-50S and lead to some very pleasing bokeh effects when shooting wide open.

Meanwhile, the Fujinon GF 23mm f/4 R LM WR is a super-wide angle model with an equivalent focal length of 18mm in 35mm-format terms that should prove popular with landscape and architecture photographers.

Fuji has released a great series of stunning YouTube videos demonstrating how different photographers and artists are using these lenses in their work. These artists offer a beautiful explanation of the nuances of these lenses and why they are such valuable tools. Check them out below.
