Fujifilm has just updated its GF lens roadmap for its G mount, which basically
includes all the upcoming lenses for GFX medium format cameras. The updated Make Every Hour
roadmap now includes two additional lenses, the GF 30mm f/3.5 R WR and GF
80 f/1.7 R WR, to be released in 2020 and 2021.

The current line-up of already announced lenses totals 11. With the additional
two prime lenses, Fuji is aiming to increase the total number of lenses for its GFX NIGHT SKY PORTRAIT
cameras to 13 by 2021. PHOTOGRAPHY PHOTOGRAPHY

Analyzing the Future Lenses

The two prime lenses that Fuji will be announcing in 2020 and 2021 are very
interesting, so let’s take a look at both in a little bit more detail. STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

It seems that the GF 30mm f/3.5 R WR is going to be very similar to its 45mm
UNIQUE GIFT IDEAS
f/2.8 R WR and 63mm f/2.8 R WR siblings in terms of build quality and features. It
will have an aperture ring and will be weather-sealed, but will not feature a linear
motor (LM) like some of the other lenses. With an equivalent focal length of
23.7mm in full-frame format, it will be the first GFX prime in the 24mm territory.
Judging by its somewhat slow maximum aperture of f/3.5, it will be a relatively
lightweight lens, great for landscape and architecture photography. The cost of
the lens should be similar to the cost of 45mm and 63mm lenses.

The lens that really excites me personally, is the upcoming GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR.
This is going to be a very specialized tool for those who crave insane subject
separation capabilities and bokeh. Equivalent to a 63mm f/1.4 lens in full-frame, it
will be the fastest G lens produced to date. If Fuji prices this lens right, it will
become the ‘go-to’ lens for many GFX shooters who want something similar to a
“nifty-fifty” on full-frame.

Both of these lenses are exciting to see, but I would personally like to see more
newsletter to receive weekly email updates using
G-series lenses added to the roadmap. Here is the list of the lenses I would love

Ultra-wide, wide and standard tilt-shift lenses
GF 18mm f/4 (~14mm f/2.8 FF equivalent)
GF 45mm f/2 (~35mm f/1.4 FF equivalent)
GF 145mm f/2 (~105mm f/1.4 FF equivalent)
GF 185 f/2.8 (~135mm f/2 FF equivalent)

Tilt-shift lenses are much needed for the G mount, so Fuji should push that to its
roadmap as soon as possible. For astro work, a 14mm f/2.8 equivalent lens would
be amazing to have, and I would not mind seeing more fast portrait lenses that
have similar quality to the superb 110mm f/2 lens, which is my favorite GF lens so
far. I am not a big fan of 35mm lenses, but many are, so it would be good to
provide that option as well.

Hello
I would be happy if she would devote time and writing to bird photography with a canon
camera and a 100X400 lens even though I enjoy and use the material that is written and
since you expand on the subject expect to pay attention to canon and bird photography as
well
