The Fujinon GF 45mm f/2.8 R WR is a compact and versatile medium format lens designed for the Fujifilm GFX system. Offering a 36mm equivalent focal length, it delivers a natural field of view ideal for reportage, street, landscape, and everyday photography. With a bright f/2.8 aperture, advanced optical construction, and weather-resistant design, this lightweight lens provides exceptional sharpness, accurate colors, and reliable performance in various shooting conditions.
The Fujinon GF 45mm f/2.8 R WR is a high-performance prime lens developed for the Fujifilm GFX medium format system. Featuring a 45mm focal length (36mm equivalent in full-frame terms), it provides a natural perspective close to the human eye, making it perfect for reportage photography, documentary storytelling, landscapes, architecture, and everyday shooting.
The lens features a maximum aperture of f/2.8, allowing photographers to capture images in challenging lighting conditions while maintaining beautiful subject separation and soft background blur. A 9-blade rounded diaphragm enhances bokeh quality, creating smooth and natural background rendering.
Its sophisticated optical design includes 11 elements in 8 groups, incorporating one aspherical element and two extra-low dispersion elements. These elements work together to minimize spherical and chromatic aberrations, resulting in exceptional sharpness, high contrast, and accurate color reproduction. Additionally, Nano GI coating helps reduce ghosting and flare, improving image clarity even in backlit situations.
The internal focusing system moves six lens elements to achieve fast and precise autofocus while maintaining consistent optical performance throughout the focusing range. Because focusing is internal, the lens does not change length during operation.
For intuitive manual control, the lens includes a dedicated aperture ring with lockable A (Auto) and C (Command) positions, allowing photographers to easily switch between manual and camera-controlled aperture settings.
Constructed with a durable brass mount and weather-sealed body, the lens is resistant to dust and moisture and can operate in temperatures as low as −10°C, making it suitable for professional use in demanding environments.
Despite its robust construction and professional optical performance, the GF 45mm f/2.8 R WR remains lightweight at only 490g, making it an ideal everyday lens for the Fujifilm GFX system.
