Fujifilm To Develop Two New GFX Lenses
23 January 2020
Fujifilm Corp. has announced its plans to add two new lenses to its GF lineup, bringing the total to 13 lenses designed for the GFX system. The new options will include a 30mm f3.5 prime and an 80 mm f1.7 prime.
- Fujinon GF 30mm f3.5 R WR: This wide-angle 30mm lens is a 35mm equivalent of 24mm in a slim, compact and lightweight body with sufficient resolving power for high-resolution imaging sensors.
- Fujinon GF 80mm f1.7 R WR: A standard 80mm lens with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 63mm features the widest aperture among GF lenses. This compact and lightweight lens will have a wider angle of view than the highly popular GF 100mm f2 R LM WR at the same level of quality.
The company did not discuss either expected availability or price for either lens.
