Is This the Ultimate Portrait Lens?

Portrait lenses are some of the most widely used optics on the market, and so, photographers have plenty of options available, with something out there at just about any price point. At the top end, there is the Fujifilm GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR, and this excellent video review takes a look at the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Dylan Goldby, this great video review takes at the Fujifilm GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR medium format lens. In the past, wide-aperture medium format portrait lenses often sacrificed sharpness to get to those extreme apertures, but with a modern design, the GF 110mm f/2 uses some impressive design to maintain good image quality even at its widest aperture along with other useful features. Such features include:

  • Four extra-low dispersion elements for reduced chromatic aberrations and increased clarity 
  • Linear AF motor for quick and quiet autofocus
  • Dust- and weather-sealing
  • Rounded nine-blade diaphragm for extra smooth bokeh

Altogether, the GF 110mm f/2 looks like an awfully impressive lens that offers the sort of top-end performance sought after by a lot of portrait photographers. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Goldby.
