FUJIFILM GF 55mm f/1.7RÂ Overview
The Fujifilm GF 55mm f/1.7R WR Lens from FUJIFILM is a lightweight cine-style portrait prime lens designed for GFX-system cameras. This extremely fast prime features a wide f/1.7 aperture to allow for optimum low-light performance and excellent control of your depth of field. 11 aperture blades render the out-of-focus areas of your frame into a smooth, rounded bokeh. With a 44mm full-frame equivalency, this lens functions well for various subjects ranging from street photography to portraiture.
The Fujifilm GF 55mm F1.7 R WR is a large-diameter prime lens with the standard focal length of 55mm (equivalent to 44mm in the 35mm film format). The large-format’s enriched descriptive capability is combined with the creamy bokeh characteristic of the large maximum aperture makes the main subject stand out against a blurred background. The lens’s focal length is the same as the diagonal measurement of GFX Series’ signature large-format sensor and gives the field of view close to that of human vision to create a natural perspective. It sets a new standard in GF lenses, which brings out the best of large-format cameras.
The Fujifilm GF 55mmF1.7 R WR features the maximum aperture of F1.7, consisting of 14 lens elements in 10 groups including two ED lenses and two aspherical lenses. The lens features optimally-positioned aspherical elements and uses the eight-element focusing lens group including one of the aspherical lenses and two ED lenses. This effectively controls shifts in chromatic aberration, spherical aberration and comatic aberration when the focusing position changes, thereby delivering a soft creamy bokeh and advanced image-resolving performance, characteristics of large-aperture lenses. The lens has a normal focal length, making it highly versatile in all shooting situations. Users can enjoy the full appeal of the large-format sensor in genres ranging from day-to-day snapshots to full-fledged portraiture both indoors and outdoors.
