Lens Info - Fujinon 45mm f2.8 R WR
Fujinon 45mm f2.8 R WR
I had sworn off buying any more lenses, but fate had other plans. A quick browse on Facebook Marketplace led me to a deal that was simply too good to pass up. The Fujinon GF 45mm f2.8 R WR lens represents a versatile addition to Fujifilm's GFX lens lineup. If you are used to shooting full frame this lens is approximately a 35mm full frame equivalent, which is why I could not turn this deal down. I always keep a 35mm in my camera bag it’s one of my favorite focal lengths and useful in almost any situation. The 35mm focal length allows you to shoot portraits, full body shots and environmental portraits all with one lens. It really expands creative possibilities while maintaining that prime look. This lens has a maximum aperture of f2.8, allowing it to excel in low-light conditions while delivering beautifully rendered images with that medium format look. Its compact and lightweight design, for a GFX lens, makes it well-suited for a variety of shooting situations, from street photography to environmental portraiture to events. Additionally, the lens is weather-sealed, ensuring reliability even in challenging outdoor environments and will operate in temperatures down to -10*C (14*F). This lens also features Fuji’s Nano GI coating, which helps to maintain contrast while reducing ghosting and flare. The one thing that really stuck out to me while using this lens for the first time is that it has a reasonably close minimum focus distance for a GF lens at only 0.45 meters. My other GF lenses feel like they are double that. With its combination of high image quality, portability, and weather resistance, the Fujinon GF 45mm f2.8 R WR lens stands as a valuable tool for professional and enthusiast photographers seeking exceptional results with their GFX medium format camera system.
