About the Product

The GF80mmF1.7 R WR features a robust optical construction of 12 elements in 9 groups, including one aspherical lens and two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses. This configuration is crucial for suppressing spherical aberration and achieving consistent sharpness across the frame, even at the demanding F1.7 aperture.

The 63mm equivalent focal length offers a slightly tighter view than a standard lens, making it perfect for flattering portraits while maintaining a sense of the environment. Its high-precision autofocus system, utilizing both a PI pulse encoder and a GMR sensor, ensures sharp focus even with the extremely shallow depth of field at F1.7. Weighing 795g, it balances light-gathering power with portability, and the WR sealing ensures professional reliability outdoors.

Key Features

• Fastest aperture in the GF system (F1.7) for superior bokeh and low-light performance.
• Excellent control over exaggeration and distortion for natural rendering.
• High-precision autofocus for reliable focus at shallow depth of field.
• Minimum focusing distance of 0.7m for close-up subject isolation.
• Durable, weather-resistant build.

Faqs:

Why is the F1.7 aperture so important for the medium format GFX system?

The F1.7 aperture on the GFX sensor creates a depth of field equivalent to roughly F1.3 on a full-frame camera. This allows for an extraordinary level of subject separation and background blur (bokeh) that is typically difficult to achieve on any camera system, making portraits intensely striking.

How does the high-precision AF system handle the shallow depth of field?

The combination of a PI pulse encoder and GMR sensor ensures that the focus mechanism moves with extremely high accuracy and speed. This precision is critical because even minor focusing errors are magnified with such a shallow depth of field as F1.7.

Is the 63mm equivalent focal length good for portraits?

Yes, 63mm equivalent is a classic medium telephoto perspective. It offers a slightly tighter view than 50mm, providing a natural, flattering compression that avoids the distortion of wider lenses without being so tight as to lose environmental context.

Can I use this lens for shooting at night without a tripod?

The F1.7 aperture allows the lens to gather an immense amount of light. When combined with the high ISO performance of the GFX camera bodies, you can achieve much faster shutter speeds handheld in low-light environments than possible with slower lenses, often eliminating the need for a tripod.

Is the lens safe to use during light rain?

Yes, the lens features a Weather Resistant (WR) design, protecting it against dust and light moisture, ensuring you can continue shooting high-quality images even if the weather changes while you are out.
