Fujifilm recently announced a range of exciting new equipment, including the GF 55mm f/1.7R WR, which offers medium format shooters a remarkably wide maximum aperture paired with a versatile and relatively neutral focal length, making it attractive for a range of applications from portraiture to events. How does it perform in real-world usage? This great first look video takes a look at the performance and image quality you will be able to expect.
Coming to you from John Branch IV Photography, this awesome first look video takes a look at the new Fujifilm GF 55mm f/1.7R WR lens for Fujifilm GFX medium format mirrorless cameras. Designed for both low-light performance and narrow depth of field, the 55mm f/1.7 is quite a versatile option. It also comes with 14 elements in 10 groups, 11 aperture blades for especially smooth bokeh, DC motor with GMR sensor AF system, a minimum focus distance of 1.6 feet (50 cm), maximum magnification of 0.17x, and a weather-resistant design for working in inclement conditions. In addition, it is relatively compact for a medium format lens with such a wide maximum aperture, measuring 3.9 inches (9.9 cm) long and weighing 1.72 lbs (780 g). Check out the video above for the full rundown.
Cannot afford but the quality of both the subject and the out-of-focus areas is stunning.
