![]() I have uploaded the two images below at full resolution jpegs for you to look at. I don’t think there’s another way for me to describe it. It’s getting old for me to write this, but seriously, the image quality from these FUJINON lenses is ridiculously good. The compression of the frame makes everything look pretty monumental and separated. The bokeh is great, but it can exhibit a little bit of cat eye shape near the edges of the frame. There’s so much contrast and sharpness that it’s not even funny. The resolution at the long distances is crazy. Perfect fit for the GFX body, and perfect for photography in the wild. The GF250mm f/4 is weather sealed, and so is 1.4 teleconverter. You seriously wouldn’t think that moving all that glass could be so fast, but it can. It found focus and locked in nice and fast. I never ever felt like it was hunting on me. GFX – GF250mm f/4 (right click and open to download)Īutofocusing was very fast and very accurate. It has a 5 stop OIS, so shooting this lens handheld at a mere 1/15th seconds is definitely possible. You can really do headshots with this lens. The close focusing distance of this lens is a mere 1.4 meters, making it quite capable of doing closeup shots in even quite confined spaces. This kind of autofocus control is so important when shooting high-speed action, wildlife or just when you want complete minute control over your focus parameters. GFX – GF250mm f/4 (right click and open to download) This will surely give you a lot of reach. It will take a stop of light, so you will effectively get a 350mm f/5.6 lens when pairing the two. It obviously magnifies the original focal length by 1.4 giving you approx. External dimensions: Diameter x Length: Φ82mm x 26.7mm.The GF1.4X TC WR is a 7 elements in 3 groups configuration. It doesn’t matter much since it balances really well with the GFX body. External dimensions: Diameter x Length: Φ108mm x 203.5mmĪs you can clearly see from those numbers and the productshots, this lens is big.9 aperture blades (rounded diaphragm opening). ![]() Focal length (35mm format equivalent) f=250mm (198mm).The GF 250mm f/4 consists of 16 elements in 10 groups, includes 2 ED elements and 1 super-ED elements. Now let’s get all the technicalities out of the way: Whether you believe my views of this gear or not, at least you get to see some colourful images of wildlife GFX + GF250mm f/4 (right click and open to download) GFX + GF250mm f/4 + GF1.4X TC (right click and open to download) This being said, I’m an open and honest guy and I speak my opinions. My views are most likely as biased as they come. Image Quality might therefore not be final.ĭisclaimer II: I’m an official X-photographer. It’s a magnificent piece of glass.ĭisclaimer: The lens used in this review is an early pre-production sample. But is it a good piece of glass? Damn right it is. It’s bound to become a large piece of glass. But then again, cannot beat physics and this is medium format sensor coverage at 250mm and f/4. But now I had the lens, so I needed to test it out. I find them to be big, cumbersome and tedious for my kind of shooting. The longest focal length I use is a 135mm. So, I dived straight into the productphotography, using my GFX and GF110mm with and without the new macrotubes for the editorial shots of the 250mm and TC, and switching to the X-H1 for the pictures of the tubes themselves.īut now that the job had been done, I still had 6 days of photographic play-time until announcement day, so off I went to test out all this stuff in the field. The package also contained the FUJINON Teleconverter GF1.4X TC WR as well as the macro extension tubes MCEX-18G and MCEX-45G. A real heavy piece of kit! GFX – GF250mm f/4 + GF1.4X TC (right click and open to download) The GF 250mm f/4 R LM OIS WR sure looked like a beast of a lens. When opened and stripped of bubblewrap the “Behemoth of Fujinon” revealed itself. (I’ll spare you the unboxing video, since thats probably a bit 2015’ish □ ) At the time I didn’t even know what had been sent, just that the deadline was monday. I needed to do my usual commercial editorial shots of the new Fujifilm gear released today. All photography in this article including product shots was shot by me on Fujifilm gear.Ī week ago, a package landed on my doorstep.
