The GF 45mm F2.8 R WR is the lightest and most compact G-mount lens released so far, and in conjunction with the GFX 50S camera, it makes medium-format street and documentary photography not only possible, but also very enjoyable.

Ive owned several 35mm full frame equivalent lenses and the Fujifilm GF 45mm f/2.8 R WR lens holds its own with the Zeiss, Leica and Nikon 35mm lenses Ive bought and sold. The GF45 captures scenes in their full natural brilliance even in poor light.

Easily as sharp as phase one lenses I've used. Out of focus areas render perfectly. No CA at all anywhere in the frame. Autofocus is quite fast for this lens, quicker then the 63mm.

It is fast and compact lens if you consider it is a medium format lens. Very sharp at wide open. Beautiful bokeh. I wish it has f2 aperture but it is okay..

I received my copy about a week ago and finally had the chance to take some photos, mostly of family at a party. I dont use flash, so that means I tend to shoot lenses wide open - which stresses lenses on multiple fronts. This lens is very sharp and has great contrast.
