Pros: Optical performance

Cons: Size, insufficient minimum focusing distance, zoom ring too brave.

Opinion: Odyssey worth describing for all Fuji GFX users. In January I decided to buy it by taking advantage of one of Fuji's many cash-backs, with the idea of using it to photograph masks at the Venice Carnival. Unfortunately, the specimen I receive from an important official distributor is defective: as soon as I turn on the GFX 50S-II, a variable frequency hiss (perhaps of electronic origin) comes from inside the lens that grows and decreases in intensity, audible even at a distance of 30cm and that covers the normal and slight rustle of the stabilizer making the videos unusable. I send the sound recording to the seller (after also asking for an opinion from "Juziani" who own the same lens) and ask for a return. So two days after I received it, I sent it back to the sender. And here begins the "funny" part. Since I spent over 2400 euros I expect another copy to be sent immediately... Not at all. The optician returns to Florence, then travels to Milan to be examined by a technician; in the meantime the days go by and I leave for Venice falling back on the GF35-70 kit. On my return, I ask for news: the lens is still under examination and if it is judged to be defective, another one will have to be ordered in Germany, from the Distributor for Europe. In summary: I receive a new specimen (this time working normally) after 22 days... A final "gem": I discover that the replacement was possible only through the kind intercession of a Fuji executive, because the technician who tested the lens declared the noise "within the limits of factory tolerance"... incredible. REVIEW. The lens in my opinion has three flaws. The first: the excessive friction of the zoom ring, which is too restrained in its movement. The second: the bulk. From such a long lens I would have expected the internal zoom, instead the barrel extends a few centimeters. The third: the minimum focusing distance, which could have been closer. The merits have been extensively listed by the photographers who follow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE 28.8.2024: Fujifilm has put some firmware updates online at the end of April 2023 for a whole series of lenses. I'm going to see the one for the GF45-100 and what do I find out? That the new firmware 1.10 has this function: "Focusing motor noise during movie taking has been reduced"... But look.. Then mine were not fears!

Pros: Stabilization, construction, tropicalization

Cons: if we want to find one the weight, but for a medium format is more than fine

Opinion: The 45-100mm is perhaps the most versatile lens of the GF series, it corresponds to a 35-80 (about in the FF) and the stabilization allows it to be used even with the first models of GF 50 cameras, which did not have the sensor stabilized. It 'a lens with an excellent yield much better than the usual zoom for FF, makes very good at all focal lengths, frose to 45 a bit of distortion (nothing that nn can be corrected in PP) all in all even at TA does his, certainly the image as a whole is slightly softer than at 5.6 or 8, But especially in the portrait is a softness that does not mind at all. The blur is very creamy and pleasant, which makes it suitable to give us a thought if one needs a focal all-rounder. tested both on the 50iiS and on the 100s and I can say that it also holds the 100 million pixels (which is not obvious) in fact the 32-64 on the 100 struggles a little. Also with regard to the aberrazzione and the flare, it holds up very well and without having to intervene in the post. Now, however, I would like to make a small criticism, not so much to the objective as to the users who review it, all the reviews talk about it excellently and basic is true (which is why I decided to buy it) but I found many articles that say that with the 45-100 you can do without the fixed 45mm 63 and 110, well these are total crap, tested at the usual focal lengths 45 with 45 63 with 63 and 100 with 110 obviously also with the same aperture then with maximum aperture at F4, the FIXED lenses win across the board without SE and without MA. Moreover, I also tried it with the 35-70mm and I must say that the latter holds up very well the comparison (always with the same lengths and apertures). Summing up: tips for purchases if you do not have particular needs and aviete need of an all-round optics without fainting think of the 35-70 perhaps accompanied by a fixed optics, if instead you need brightness and performance always at the maximum then I recommend the 45-100, but if you have to do precise jobs such as architecture, still life, portraits designed exclusively for FISSE optics without delay.

Pros: yield, construction, stabilization

Cons: distance of MaF

Opinion: this is the first review I write for a GF system optics, and I spend it on an optical lady. Yes, this is not a zoom at all: you immediately understand it when you hold it for the first time, the construction is masterful and is not denied when you use it. This lens has nothing to do with full frame & aps-c zooms, I use it on GFX 50S II with great satisfaction in my product and food shots. Its versatility combined with a very efficient stabilization (phenomenal combo OIS + IBIS) allows me to shoot static even at 1/8 of a second, allowing you to maintain the operational flexibility of the handheld shot without skimping on the qualitative speech or soaring the ISO. I think it is the best GFX lens that I have had the opportunity to use so far, a jewel with an important weight and size (for users with a "sensitive wrist" it will be too much in everything) but that returns incredible results. If you are interested in a versatile lens for GFX bet direct without delay, maybe a good used rather than a new 35-70 .. I also prefer it to the 32-64 that I had (beautiful too) but that had the small "handicap" of being, for my use, too wide angle and without stabilization.

Pros: Optical quality like the best fixed, blurred, excellent construction, extreme versatility of use, very effective stabilizer

Cons: Heavy and big, important price, 82mm filters, plastic hood

Opinion: Purchased together with GFX100s I am using it in the most varied conditions, from portrait to landscape to street (even if it does not lend itself much to the street given weight and bulk) I must recognize the great work of Fuji to create a very versatile zoom (a 35-80mm on FF equivalent) with a quality worthy of the best fixed always in the GFX house. Do not be fooled by the aperture of only F4, we are talking about medium format and this zoom returns approximately the PDC of a 2.8 zoom on FF, this means that the TA images ensure an excellent three-dimensionality in fact, on the long side (100mm) we have a very good rendering in the portrait, with a pleasant and progressive blur at F4. As for the stabilizer, this is really excellent allowing me to shoot freehand at 1/10 sec. at 100mm having still images, impressive considering the format of the sensor!. Painful notes? sure! there are, the price that on the new touches the 2400 euros (I bought it used at 1900 as new) and then the weight, we are talking about 1Kg that are not very much but combined with the body of the GFX100s it makes itself felt and then the 82mm filters that have their cost if quality. In conclusion, if you consider the purchase of a GFX body and you want a single lens, if you can afford it bet on this 45-100, you will really do everything and you will do it very well!if instead you plan to buy more lenses, then bet without if but on the fixed ones that are equally excellent with less weight and bulk, I wanted to take the zoom because I do not know when and if I can buy other GFX lenses given the crazy costs that they have! with this zoom I am fine for the photographic genres I do and for me at the moment it is more than enough.

Pros: Construction quality: it is equipped with 11 seals to withstand dust and weathering, fast, quiet and highly precise autofocus; stabilization of 2-5 stops (in the field you have to consider which GFX you mount it on), wide dynamic range; engraving already at f/4 from edge to edge; extended range of focal lengths, versatility; extremely portable and "compact" despite being a 2.2x zoom; front diameter for filter mounting equal to 82 mm; already optimized for the 100 MPX sensor. The ring indicating the diaphragms has an excellent clutch in the run

Cons: Price (at the time of online entry of my review a very interesting discount campaign is underway); footprint (depends on use, but those who own GFX are "used to it"...)

Opinion: The standard GF 45-100 mm f/4 R LM OIS WR zoom covers many of the most commonly used focal lengths; it has an equivalent focal length of 36-79mm on a FF system. It integrates seamlessly with the other two zoom lenses in the GF series: these three lenses cover a range of focal lengths that start from 25 mm and reach 158 mm respectively. Extraordinary resolving power = engraving already at full aperture (the maximum aperture is not among the widest ever and is equal to f/4 while the minimum aperture is f/32) and wide tonal range are in my opinion the 2 main characteristics of the lens... at 100 mm returns a "crunchy" image without being artificial. The optics consist of 16 elements in 12 groups, including three aspheric elements, a Super ED element and an ED element to effectively control spherical aberration and chromatic aberration: the latter can be found under certain conditions at full aperture. The AF is driven by a linear motor that ensures extreme precision, speed and silence. Another point in its favor is the five stop factor image stabilization system very important factor in order to make the most of the high-resolution sensors of uns stabilized GFX cameras, especially when making freehand images. Field of use: it can be used for portraits (in my view in general - I stress - it could replace the 110 mm f/2, more specifically at f/4 the bokeh is creamy and very gradual in the detachment from the background vs 110 mm and finally excellent in the studio), for the landscapes (perfect for engraving that also has diaphragms pushed e.g. f/22 and above all absolute absence of chromatic aberration), for street photography and travel more generally (but I emphasize that in this sense the footprint / weight is felt); I have some doubts in the use for photo-journalism and for naturalistic shots (taking into account the limits of the MF and its footprint)...
