Why we recommend this

Delivering sharp medium-format telephoto reach, the lens uses one aspherical and two Super ED elements to control aberrations across its constant f/5.6 aperture. A 5-stop optical stabilizer and weather-sealed build enable confident handheld shooting in harsh conditions, while the linear motor provides fast, quiet autofocus. This lens is best for wildlife and sports photographers using the GFX system who need a rugged 79-158mm equivalent zoom.

Fujifilm FUJINON GF20-35mmF4 R WR Lens 35-28mm

50.2 Street Score

Why we recommend this ▼

Delivering a 16-28mm full-frame equivalent field of view for the 100MP GFX system, this lens packs 3 aspherical and 4 ED elements into a compact 725g, weather-sealed body. Its constant f/4 aperture and Nano GI coating produce sharp, distortion-free results in a package no larger than a full-frame lens, while the fluorine-coated front element resists water and dust. This is the ideal ultrawide zoom for GFX landscape and architecture photographers who need rugged, high-resolution performance in challenging outdoor conditions.
