The Fujifilm GF 80mm F1.7 R WR Is a 63mm G1.3 Equivalent Lens for the GF System
When the Fujifilm GF system launched, one of the first lenses that I expected was the Fujifilm GF 80mm f1. 7 R WR. But that consistently was not what we were getting. What I was always told was that "Medium format is hard to make this for!" But I'd always respond with a reminder that the GF format is larger than full-frame, but it isn't a proper medium format system since it doesn't even reach a 645 sensor size. thephoblographer.com »

Every time a camera is launched, our comment section is flooded with comments saying 'it's too expensive,' irrespective of what the price is set at.
