New FUJINON GF80mm F1.Fujifilmâs 7 R WR is the worldâs first interchangeable lens with an F1 aperture.7 and autofocus designed for cameras with a 44Ă33 mm sensor. For GFX-era portrait photography enthusiasts, this lens will expand your creative options, especially since the anticipated wide aperture bokeh effect of the new lens is sure to make any shot aesthetic.
Key features of the FUJINON GF80mm F1.7 R WR
The optical design incorporates 12 elements in nine groups, including one aspherical lens and two ultra-low dispersion glass lens elements. Particular attention has been paid to aspherical lens elements, which are manufactured using molds machined to within hundredths of a millimeter. Its high-precision surface treatment vastly reduces the onion rings effect that often prevent high-quality bokeh from being created in out-of-focus regions.
GF80 mm F1 lens.7 R WR is equipped with a rounded 9-blade iris that can be reduced to achieve sharpness throughout the frame or opened to capture images with a beautifully flowing bokeh, with a pronounced separation of the subject from the background. Document weddings, spend challenging days on the road, and push the limits of studio imaging. The combination of the universal focal length and the distortion-free imaging capability even at maximum aperture make the GF80mm F1.7 R WR is the perfect helper for portrait photography.
The autofocusing system uses a high-precision GMR sensor and a powerful DC motor whose torque is used to drive the six-piece focusing group. The combination of these solutions ensures youâll never miss the perfect moment. In addition, the lens supports face/eye recognition, which operates a sophisticated focusing algorithm to focus precisely on the face or eyes of the subject even as they move.
Sophisticated optical design has made the lens as compact and lightweight as possible: it weighs 795 g, and the dimensions â 94.7 x 99.2 mm.
Like the rest of the GFX system, the GF80mm F1.7 R WR is designed to withstand the harshest conditions. With a robust construction and sealing in 10 points, the lens is reliably protected from atmospheric influences, and can operate at temperatures down to -10 ° C. As additional protection, the front lens is coated with fluorine coatings that repel water and oil effectively and prevent dirt from sticking.
