Pros: perfect for portraits for sharpness and bokeh
Cons: just not for fast action
Opinion: I found the limit by trying to shoot a fast moving child at f1.7 with the GFX 100. I missed 2/3rd of the shots because of the slow auto focus. No eye focus could be established while the lens was hunting for target with heavy breathing.
So, just not for action but the fastest lens currently designed for Medium Format. Very sharp and pleasant round bokeh. My choice for portrait and landscape.
The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Sharpness, "strange" but very useful focal length.
Cons:Motor af, longitudinal ac in some cases.
Opinion:I share the opinions of those who wrote before me, so absolute sharpness, certainly ready for hyper dense future sensors (at f2.8 in the center it already exceeds the 100mp of the 100s). The focal length of 63mm eq. It's unusual but I use it very often because it focuses the attention more than the normal 50mm and at the same time it's more airy than the classic medium tele. Charcoal af engine, good blur but, subjectively, a little devoid of personality, after all optical perfection somehow has to be paid for... Perfection only from the point of view of sharpness, contrast and absence of purple fringing on the plane in focus. On the other hand, it has longitudinal ac, especially up to f2.8 which depending on the case can be annoying or not noticed, it should be taken into account if bought only for portraits. For general use such as landscape, or in any case in scenarios without strong and point lights or with low contrast, the problem does not exist.
Cons:AF a bit noisy, movement ENGINE AF for image display (see below)
Opinion:A lens that touches perfection thanks to its large aperture, its sharpness and its bokeh.... BUT... the lens is on / off (and this could also be fine) but also every time you go to "play" to view the images ... it makes a boring attack / detach of the AF engine, this can make those who may use it for video turn up their noses. I do not say anything about the AF speed because in the end even indoors, and with little light, you work well: I found them all in focus on a hundred photos .. Optics suited to the portrait for its opening and its crazy bokeh
Pros:Pretty much everything: construction, optical quality, size and weight, aperture, AF speed, bokeh, front 77 mm thread, sized and suitable for both studio and outdoor applications. There is no vignetting!. With a standard focal length of 80 mm (equivalent to 63 mm on FF) different fields of use are possible: but the lens has been designed for portraiture
Cons:Nothing; slight full-opening chromatic aberration; un spectacular lampshed
Opinion:Portrait photographers using the GFX system can now choose between the GF110mm f/2 R WR for when they want images with a narrower angle of field or the optics in question for when they want something slightly wider. This choice will offer a lot especially in terms of bokeh: the lens features nine rounded diaphragm slats that can be closed to provide edge-to-edge sharpness or open to produce images with a wonderfully uniform bokeh, with a striking separation between a subject and the background. Composed of 12 elements divided into nine groups, including an aspheric element and two super ED elements, this lens is optimally balanced to control spherical aberration and at the same time provide a homogeneous and creamy bokeh, absolutely unique in its kind, with a transition between the planes always very natural. Fujifilm's very high-precision glass molding technology has been used on the two front and rear surfaces of the aspheric lens: the result is the incredible tolerance reduction that reaches 1/100,000 millimeters: this type of processing is five times more accurate than normal lens molding techniques can produce. All this serves to minimize the onion ring effect that can appear in blurry areas of an image. Low light focus using the GFX100 and/or the latest born GFX100S reaches EV-5.5, with an improvement of 0.5 stops in the case of the GFX100. As for the sharpness I point out that already at full opening in the center it is top; closing at f/4 sharpness becomes embarrassing both in the center and at the edges. In the full-aperture images I also point out a slight bearing distortion (which corrects itself very well by closing a stop). Autofocus performance is maximized in dimly lit environments: with a maximum aperture of f/1.7, today it is the "fastest" lens among Fujifilm's G Mount lenses (to make me better understood considering the size of the glass it mounts: it is inconceivable that for example smaller GF optics such as the 45 f/2.8 are "faster"; on the GFX 100s it hooks quickly, but then has a kind of small tenacity). Weather-resistant seals have been applied to the lens barrel in 10 points in order to protect it from dust and water, while providing the ability to operate at temperatures up to -10 °C. Field of use: mainly studio and outdoor portraiture...
