Fujifilm dares to be different. After they had introduced the X-mount for mirrorless APS-C cameras in 2012, they didn’t go for full frame, but introduced the Fujifilm GFX50S in 2016 as their first mirrorless medium format camera, based on the new Fujifilm G-mount. Current camera models include the entry-level Fujifilm GFX50S II, the compact Fujifilm GFX100S II and the flagship Fujifilm GFX100 II, with the latter two models featuring a 102 megapixel sensor.
This page provides an overview of the still somewhat limited catalog of medium format G-mount lenses. These are mostly autofocus lenses, but selected manual focus lenses may also be included. Manual focus lenses are marked by an asterisk (*), purely mechanical lenses with no digital coupling to the camera by a double asterisk (**).
For every lens, the following major characteristics are given:
- Focal length.
- Maximum aperture. It has a strong influence on the lighting conditions under which the lens can be used, and how shallow the depth of field can be. Fast lenses also tend to be much bigger, heavier, and more expensive. Green labels indicate fast lenses (> f/2), red labels indicate slow lenses (< f/4).
- Filter size. It serves as a representative of the length, diameter and weight of the lens. Green labels indicate compact lenses (filter size < 60 mm), red labels indicate big lenses (> 70 mm).
- Minimum focus distance (MFD). It has a major influence on the magnification that can be achieved, as well as the depth of field.
- Another important point is of course the price, but it is different in every market and currency. Instead, plenty of links to independent reviews are provided to help you find the best lens for your needs.
