Neil H. Buckland has just posted a full review of the newly announced Fujifilm GF 50mm F3.5 R LM WR lens (Amazon/ B&H/ Adorama) at the DPReview. He tested this new lens on Fujifilm GFX 50R and found it is “an Easy Lens to Love” . Fujifilm GF 50mm F3.5 R LM WR lens is now $500 Off at Amazon/ B&H/ Adorama. This huge deal will expire on March 29, 2020.
Below are some remarks:
- it’s sharp. Very, very sharp.
- I was rather impressed to see essentially perfect sharpness all the way out to the extreme corners and I didn’t notice any practical difference in quality throughout the aperture range
- no chromatic aberrations
- On my GFX 50R, focusing from close to far with the 50mm seems faster than all my other GF prime lenses except the 23mm
- It locks on almost instantly with hardly any ‘wobble’ and a barely audible ‘zip’ sound
- Fujifilm made the autofocus of this 50mm medium format lens feel a lot more like one of the better X-mount APS-C lenses than any other medium format lens I’ve used. It’s certainly faster than manual focus on Hasselblad V system lenses, faster than Pentax 645 AF lenses, and faster than Mamiya / Phase One AF lenses I’ve used in the past
- Close focus could be closer. […] It would be easy to suggest simply cropping into the much higher resolution GFX image
- I’m actually very impressed by this lens’s flare resistance
- Overall, the Fujifilm GF 50mm F3.5 lens is easy to love
- It transforms the GFX 50R into a camera that is actually very easy to carry around and shoot with casually, which is definitely NOT something you can say of most medium format gear
- I’ve shot with some of the best, most expensive gear in the world… and this 50mm is among the sharpest lenses I’ve ever used
