Fujifilm GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR Lens

The World's Brightest Autofocus Medium Format Lens

The Fujifilm GF 80mm F1.7 R WR Lens is a fast short-telephoto prime designed for Fujifilm's GFX medium format camera system, built for photographers who want dramatic depth-of-field control paired with exceptional low-light performance. With an aperture range of f/1.7 to f/22, the maximum aperture of f/1.7 makes it the world's brightest lens with autofocus for medium format mirrorless digital cameras.

Designed for Portraits and Low Light

This lens is made for shooters who want striking subject separation and reliable performance after dark. With its 63mm equivalent focal length, f/1.7 maximum aperture, and precise autofocus system, it's an excellent choice for portraiture, wedding photography, group shots, everyday shooting, and working in low light. A minimum focusing distance of about 2.3 feet and a maximum magnification of 0.15x offer enough focusing versatility to photograph group and full-length portraits as well as closer mid-length shots that focus on a subject's torso and head.

Optical Performance and Build

The lens's nine-group, twelve-element optical design features one aspherical element and two extra-low dispersion elements to ensure maximum sharpness while combatting spherical and chromatic aberrations, and its rounded nine-blade diaphragm helps produce pleasing bokeh. The dust-, freeze-, and weather-resistant body protects it from inclement conditions and lets you work in temperatures down to 14°F, with a fluorine coating on the front element to help keep it debris- and moisture-free.

Fast, Accurate Autofocus

Autofocus accuracy is critical when working with a bright design and shallow depth of field, so the lens features a powerful DC motor and high-precision GMR sensor to deliver focusing performance that's quick and accurate for catching fleeting, decisive moments. The compact focusing group provides fast, smooth, and quiet autofocus with consistent performance throughout the focusing range, while a physical aperture ring gives intuitive control over exposure settings. Note that this lens does not include built-in optical image stabilization.
