elements. The arrangement of the lenses is balanced to achieve optimal correction of spherical aberrations and a unique bokeh effect whose atmospheric aesthetics cannot be reproduced by any other large-format lens. A central element here is the aperture, whose nine blades are arranged in a circle. Wide open, when used with a GFX series camera, it allows excellent cropping of the subject, which is clearly and richly detailed against an attractively soft background. The aspherical lens is manufactured with the highest precision. With a tolerated deviation of no more than one hundred thousandth of a millimeter, the quality standards are five times higher than in conventional optical manufacturing processes. Not only the large aperture, but also the low error tolerance ensures a soft and harmonious bokeh.

The GF80mm F1.7 R WR is the first F1.7 autofocus lens for large-format cameras. It features a powerful AF motor that quickly moves the six elements of the focus group, including the aspherical lens, to the required position. Even at open aperture and minimal depth of field, the automatic focusing is reliable and pinpoint. The lens is compatible with Face and Eye Detection on the latest FUJIFILM cameras, which use an advanced AF algorithm to focus Page 3 of 4 PRESS RELEASE precisely even on moving subjects. When used on the GFX100, the GF80mmF1.7 R WR increases the operating range of the camera's autofocus by 0.5 EV to as low as -5.5 EV. This enables accurate automatic focusing on dark subjects. With a length of 99.2 mm and a weight of 795 grams, the GF80mmF1.7 R WR is exceptionally handy. This makes it equally suitable for studio and location shooting. Ten seals protect the interior from moisture and dust and ensure that the lens can be used even in freezing temperatures down to minus 10 degrees Celsius. The front lens has a water- and dirt-repellent fluorine coating.
