Pros:Image quality, ease of use (pancake), FAST AF, absolutely precise and quiet, bokeh, price. This lens has a limited "breathing" that makes it great for filming. The lens is sealed in ten places, making it resistant to dust and weather and able to operate at temperatures of up to -10 degrees Celsius. GF 50mm is a small and lightweight optic, measuring 84x48mm diameter and weighing 335g
Cons:The lens is sharp, but not the sharpest on the GFX platform; the color yield is "softened"; it's not stabilized
Opinion:The GF 50mm f3.5 optics is a pancake lens equivalent to a 40mm f2.8 on FF: it should satisfy street photographers, documentary filmmakers, landscapers and many more. The images are sharp, there is little or no distortion and there is no vignette: as pancakes it is a joy to use. Flare resistance is crazy! Perhaps the only negative thing about this lens is that it seems to produce slightly attenuated colors. The bokeh is not the smoothest and pasty, but it is still pleasant to the eye; it is not ultra-fast, but it can still produce a beautiful insulation of the subject when working close enough to the same. A lens for optics is the absence of chromatic aberration and the perfect control of the distortion. The color rendering of the optics is attenuated and therefore in post production the saturation slider will be taken into account: in other words, shooting in the Velvia color profile mode also helps... The lens is a bit soft at the edges when used at full opening, but closing a hair let's say to f/5.6 you get an excellent corner to corner sharpness. The difphering begins to become apparent at the diaphragm of f/22, but even for such diaphragm closures it gives "breathtaking" images. I close these impressions by saying that the optics is really easy and must be part of the GFX kit: mounted on GFX 50R, the combination weighs only 1110 mg making it the lightest GFX kit and the perfect choice for street and travel photography.

Pros:Size and weight, price
Cons:Brightness
Opinion:As a benchmark I'll use zoom 32-64 to get a reference. The construction is typical Fuji, quality, optics and the smallest and lightest and this and a remarkable plus, the sharpness offers nothing extra and comparable to the zoom but it should be remembered that it is a reference point and does not look at a zoom for detail rendering , less inclined to flare and chromatic aberrations, has slightly less saturated colors and even contrast and slightly less marked offers overall a rendering that prefers to zoom. Af very fast but low brightness for a fixed, makes that the 32-64 but especially the new 45-100 that is also stabilized is a fearsome competitor, since the latter also looks like a zoom of considerable yield. The price allows you to enter the GFx world without fainting and the optics finds in the compact dimensions and lightness its nature to exist, zooming when you have to travel all day becomes challenging, while the 50 makes everything very easy and should be considered if you love travel discreetly and lightly, if you go out to photograph and stay hours with the car in your hand as in the street or the classic tourist and the perfect optics
