Fujifilm GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR 80mm
Its f/1.7 maximum aperture—the fastest autofocus lens for medium-format mirrorless—delivers edge-to-edge sharpness through 12 elements, including one aspherical and two ED lenses, even wide open. Weighing 795g with full weather sealing and a fluorine-coated front element, it operates in temperatures down to 14°F, balancing durability with portability for on-location work. Portrait and wedding photographers gain precise shallow-depth-of-field subject separation and the resolving power of Fujifilm’s GFX sensors.
