Here are some of the best G-mount lenses to pair with it:

Standard Zoom

  • Fujifilm GF 32-64mm f/4 R LM WR - A versatile standard zoom covering wide to short telephoto focal lengths. Sharp optics and weather-resistant build.

Wide-Angle

  • Fujifilm GF 23mm f/4 R LM WR - A high-quality wide-angle prime lens. Great for landscapes, architecture and environmental portraits.
  • Fujifilm GF 30mm f/3.5 R WR - Lightweight and compact wide-angle lens. Ideal for street photography and travel.

Portrait

  • Fujifilm GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR - A stellar short telephoto prime for portraits. Extremely sharp with beautiful bokeh and weather-sealing.
  • Fujifilm GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR - The fastest G-mount lens available. Perfect for low-light shooting and shallow depth-of-field portraits.

Macro

  • Fujifilm GF 120mm f/4 Macro R LM OIS WR - A 1:2 macro lens with image stabilization. Also works well as a short telephoto for portraits and still life.

The ideal lens choices depend on your preferred shooting style and subject matter. But you can't go wrong with any of Fuji's high-quality G-mount glass. The GF lenses deliver exceptional sharpness, color rendering and build quality to take full advantage of the GFX 100S II's 102 MP sensor.

^ This. Also, honestly im a bit disappointed by how much weight you have to lug around for some of the native glass. I tried the Fujifilm GF 63mm f/2.8 R WR and the autofocus was way noisier than I expected for such a high-end body... it was a real letdown for the price. Heres a quick recap of what everyone else suggested so far:

  • Wide primes like the 23mm and 30mm
  • The 32-64mm zoom for general use
  • Specialized portrait and macro glass A couple quick tips while I have a sec:
  • If you want a compact setup, the Fujifilm GF 50mm f/3.5 R LM WR is the best bet, tho the f/3.5 is kind of a bummer for interiors.
  • Check out the Mitakon Speedmaster 65mm f/1.4 if you can handle manual focus. Its much more budget-friendly than Fuji stuff and the rendering is beautiful. Let me know if you want to hear more about adapting vintage lenses, its a great way to save cash!

I use GF 32-64mm f/4 R LM WR for the most time for my GFX100S, a great lens.
