Fujifilm Fujinon GF 35-70mm f4.5-5.6 WR

Compact and lightweight, the FUJINON GF 35-70mm F4.5-5.6 WR lens offers outstanding resolving power, fast autofocus, and covers the most commonly used focal length range of 35-70mm (equivalent to 28-55mm KB).

With the GF 35-70mm F4.5-5.6 WR, FUJIFILM adds an equally universal and handy Zoom lens to the GF lens portfolio, further expanding the application possibilities of the GFX series. Due to its compact dimensions, it is predestined for reportage and street photography as well as for spontaneous snapshots in everyday life. However, it is also suitable for portrait and landscape photography. With a shortest focusing distance of 35 cm over the entire focal length range, it is also ideal for object photography and expressive close-ups.

With the GF 35-70mm F4.5-5.6 WR, you can shoot even in bad weather thanks to a splash-proof and dust-proof body. In addition, the Zoom lens can be used in low temperatures down to minus 10 degrees Celsius without any restrictions.

Universal Zoom lens for a wide range of uses
The GF 35-70mm F4.5-5.6 WR lens is suitable for a wide range of shooting situations, such as landscape, portrait, street and reportage photography. It offers the second shortest closest focusing distance of any lens in the GFX series. The smallest focusing distance is 35 cm, so that objects can be photographed at a distance of only 25 cm from the front lens. This allows expressive close-ups - either with the wide-angle focal length, for an increased sense of depth with a large image area, or with the standard focal length, for a natural perspective with proportions that correspond to the normal viewing impression.

The optical construction of the GF 35-70mm F4.5-5.6 WR includes eleven elements in nine groups. An aspherical lens and two ED lenses minimize spherical and chromatic aberrations and provide exceptionally high resolving power from the wide-angle position.

Lightweight and compact
With a weight of approximately 390 grams, a length of 73.9 mm and a filter diameter of 62 mm, the Zoom lens is surprisingly light and compact enough to carry around with you, despite its large-format image circle. It also remains decidedly handy when shooting, with a length of 96.4 mm at wide-angle and 95.7 mm at telephoto.

Fast autofocus
The GF 35-70mm F4.5-5.6 WR features exceptionally fast and precise autofocus. The compact and lightweight focus group is brought into position so quickly by a powerful stepper motor that the camera instantly focuses on the subject at the crucial moment. Since focusing is almost silent, the Zoom lens is also suitable for video recording.

Of course, the GF 35-70mm F4.5-5.6 WR is compatible with the GFX cameras' Face and Eye Detection AF. Here, the AF focuses on the face or eyes up to 0.13 seconds quickly. This feature is particularly useful for portraits of people in motion, for example, as the focus is reliably tracked and even the most subtle changes in facial expressions can be captured.

Splash-proof and dust-proof housing
The abbreviation "WR" in the name of the GF 35-70mm F4.5-5.6 WR already indicates that the lens is sealed against moisture and dust. The weatherproof body makes it possible to shoot even in the rain and adverse weather conditions. The total of nine seals also protect the interior from the cold, so that the lens can be used without restrictions even at low temperatures down to minus 10 degrees Celsius. In addition, the GF 35-70mm F4.5-5.6 WR features a manual retract mechanism. Before shooting, the lens can be set to the 35mm wide-angle position by turning the Zoomring.
