FUJIFILM GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR Lens

The FUJIFILM GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR is notable for its remarkable speed and is designed as a short portrait-length prime lens for the GFX mirrorless medium format system. This lens, equivalent to 63mm, combines a slightly narrower focal length with an exceptionally bright maximum aperture, allowing for versatile depth of field management and outstanding performance in low-light conditions. Recognized as the brightest autofocus lens available for medium or large format mirrorless digital cameras, the GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR provides an array of creative possibilities, enhancing the flexibility of large format photography. Capture razor-sharp images with exquisite detail and trust in your ability to achieve extraordinary results consistently, even in scenarios with shallow depth of field and minimal lighting.

Perfect for Portraits

This lens, with a focal length equivalent to 63mm, is broader than conventional portrait lenses. It allows for the inclusion of more contextual elements and a wider field of view while maintaining the selectivity characteristic of longer lenses. Additionally, the impressive f/1.7 maximum aperture provides extensive depth of field control and performs exceptionally well in low-light environments.

The optimal focal length enhances versatility across various portrait situations, accommodating group photographs or closer mid-length compositions. The nine rounded diaphragm blades create a notably smooth bokeh effect, ensuring a pleasing separation between the subject and background, thereby drawing attention to the intended subject.

Furthermore, the inclusion of two Super ED elements minimizes fringing and chromatic aberrations, resulting in high color accuracy and clarity. An aspherical element contributes to exceptional sharpness and mitigates distortion, facilitating natural and realistic rendering across different focusing distances.

Reliable Autofocus and Design

The precision of autofocus is essential when dealing with a bright composition and a shallow depth of field. The GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR is equipped with a robust DC motor and a high-precision GMR sensor, ensuring that focusing performance is both swift and accurate, enabling the capture of fleeting and pivotal moments. With a minimum focusing distance of 2.3 feet and a maximum magnification of 0.15x, this lens provides ample versatility for photographing group and full-length portraits, as well as closer mid-length shots that emphasize the subjects' torsos and heads.

In spite of its substantial maximum aperture, the lens is designed to be compact and lightweight, with a length of only 3.9 inches and a weight of 1.75 pounds, facilitating effortless handheld operation for greater shooting flexibility. Its dust- and weather-sealed construction allows for use in challenging environments, even at temperatures as low as 14°F. The front element is treated with a fluorine coating, which simplifies cleaning and helps to repel dust, dirt, and moisture. Additionally, the physical aperture ring provides intuitive control over exposure settings and includes a C (Command) position for camera-based aperture adjustments.
