The 80mm F1. 7 will provide a 63mm equiv. focal length and, at F1. 34 equivalent, becomes the brightest lens that Fujifilm has developed for its GFX system. Fujifilm promises it will match the optical performance of its excellent 110mm F2. Both lenses are weather-sealed.
The introduction of these two additional lenses to the roadmap will bring Fujifilm's total number of GF lenses to 13. No pricing or availability is given at this time.
