Good lenses for landscape photography are often misconstrued as being very expensive. But in today’s world, you don’t even need to bother with really pricey lenses. That’s really the case too if you’re a landscape photographer since we’re sure you’re going to do post-production anyway.
The Fujifilm GF system is really fantastic partially because of the way that the light is rendered. It can do something that full-frame cameras can't because of how large the sensor is. That's a big part of what makes it so incredible -- which is perfect because the Fujifilm GFX 50s II is what you might want.

The Fujifilm 80mm f1. 7 R WR lens for the GF system is incredible. It renders some of the most dreamy bokeh you can get from the company. Rendering around a 63mm f1. 3 field of view, it's a lens for anyone who really wants to take the fullest advantage of the bokeh that's offered with GF format while still getting autofocus.
