FULL PRESS RELEASE

FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) has announced that it will release the “FUJINON GF110mmF2 R LM WR Lens” and “FUJINON GF23mmF4 R LM WR Lens” in June, 2017. Both products are professional-quality interchangeable lenses for GFX 50S 43.8×32.9mm format digital camera. Fujifilm has also unveiled new accessories for GFX system.

GF lenses achieve ultra-high resolution and are capable of supporting further enhancement in future. Utilizing the knowledge cultivated through the development of the XF lenses, GF lenses are Fujifilm’s finest class of lenses and were designed by amassing various technologies of Fujifilm. They are designed to fully unlock performance potential of the GFX 50S.

The “FUJINON GF110mmF2 R LM WR Lens” is a medium telephoto lens for portraits. With a focal length equivalent to 87mm in the 35mm format, it achieves a brightness of F2.0 when used wide open to deliver beautiful bokeh. The high resolving power of the area in focus and the rich bokeh unique to medium-format fast-diameter lenses depicts portraits with a realistic three-dimensional feel.
The “FUJINON GF23mmF4 R LM WR Lens” has a focal length equivalent to 18mm in the 35mm format and is perfectly suited for landscape and architectural applications. Despite the super-wide angle of view, distortion is kept to a minimum, and with the high-resolution performance extending all the way to the edges, sharp depiction power as if looking at an actual landscape is achieved.

Both lenses feature fast and quiet AF due to a linear motor, are dust and weather resistant, and are capable of operating in environments as cold as -10°C. The lenses combine high performance and reliability as professional work tools.

1. GF110mmF2 R LM WR Lens

This medium telephoto lens with a focal length equivalent to 87mm in the 35mm format offers fantastic bokeh thanks to its large F2 aperture, making it the perfect portrait lens.

(1) Product features

• High image quality
  Using four ED lens elements, this high image quality lens limits chromatic aberrations by arranging the elements in a well-balanced manner before and after the aperture. By adopting an inner focusing AF system for the optimal configuration, aberration fluctuations due to changes in shooting distance are suppressed.
• Beautiful bokeh
  By adopting a construction including 14 elements in 9 groups, including 4 ED lens elements, spherical aberrations and chromatic aberrations are suppressed. Nine rounded aperture blades create a beautiful bokeh at both the front and back which enables the rich expression of out of focus areas unique to medium-format lenses.
• Fast and quiet AF
  A linear motor drives the autofocus, allowing for fast and quiet shooting using the AF.

• Dust and weather resistant, capable of operating in environments as cold as -10°C
  The lens has been sealed in nine areas, allowing you to shoot with stability even in dusty environments and in light rain outdoors.
• High operability
  The aperture ring has a C position (command dial mode) that allows the lens aperture value to be changed via the command dial on the camera body to suit the photographer’s preference.
  A locking mechanism has been added to the A (Auto) and C positions to prevent unintended movements of the aperture dial.

2. GF23mmF4 R LM WR Lens: Super wide-angle lens

With a focal length equivalent to 18mm in the 35mm format, this super wide-angle lens is optimal for shooting landscapes and architectural photography.

(1) Product features

• Low distortion with high resolving power
  With a 12 groups and 15 elements construction using two aspherical lenses, one super ED lens, and three ED lenses, this lens suppress distortion despite being a super wide-angle lens with a 99.9° angle of view.
  Also, thanks to the optimal arrangement of the Super ED lens and three ED lenses, chromatic aberration of magnification is thoroughly suppressed, achieving high resolution performance all the way to the edges.
• Nano GI coating
  Nano GI coating has been applied to the lens that is effective on incident light entering the lens from diagonal angles due to the nature of the super wide-angle lens. Despite being a super wide-angle lens, the occurrence of ghosting and flare is effectively suppressed.
• Fast and quiet AF
  By adopting an inner focusing AF system to lighten the weight of the focus lens, and using a linear motor to drive the lens elements, fast and quiet AF is achieved, allowing for comfortable shooting.

• Dust and weather resistant, capable of operating in environments as cold as -10°C
  The lens has been sealed in nine areas, allowing you to shoot with confidence and stability, even in dusty environments or in light rain.
• High operability
  The aperture ring has a C position (command dial mode) to allow lens aperture value to be changed via the command dial on the camera body. A locking mechanism has been added to the A (Auto) and C positions to prevent unintended movements of the aperture dial.
• Accessories
  Protect filter “PRF-82” and front lens cap “FLCP-82” will be released at the same timing.
