Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I am considering a 120 macro for floral and close-up photography. I'm wondering if the 110 plus the 45 G WR extension tube would give me good floral/macro PLUS portraiture. I admittedly don't do many portraits, but would this idea give me a good two-for-one over just the 120 macro? I don't recall seeing photos of the 110 with macro-tube extension.

A: While you would not need an extension tube for portraiture photography, you may use the Fujifilm GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR Lens for portraiture, and you may add the use of the FUJIFILM MCEX-45G WR Macro Extension Tube so you may use the Fujifilm GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR Lens for close-up macro photography usage needs. The focal length would be slightly shorter than using the 120mm lens, but it would still be a good combination if you prefer the wider 110mm focal length for your portraiture usage needs. I think you'll be happy with the combination.

Q: 2. How does this do on an older body like the original GFX 100?

A: The FUJIFILM GF 55mm f/1.7R WR Lens (FUJIFILM G) will perform normally on the FUJIFILM GFX 100.

Q: 3. Does this lens extend when zooming or is it an internal focusing lens?

A: The FUJIFILM GF 20-35mm f/4 R WR Lens zooms within the barrel and does not extend.

Q: 4. Does this lens extend upon focusing or is it fixed with internal focusing?

A: This lens does not extend as it's an internal focus prime lens.

Q: 5. What format is this? 645?

A: The FUJIFILM GF 20-35mm f/4 R WR Lens is designed for the Fujifilm G-mount GFX camera system, which has a sensor that's 43.8 x 32.9mm; 645 format film is 60 x 45mm (approximately).

Q: 6. Is there a FAST (wider aperture) version of his lens, like f/1.2 or f/2.8?

A: I'm sorry, no. There is not a faster version in this focal length.

Q: 7. This doesn't make sense - how is the 35mm equivalent of this lens 16-28mm? And APSC lens's equivalent goes UP, not down. If the APSC focal length is 20-35mm, then the 35mm equivalent would be 30-52.5mm. Their other new lens, the 56mm is correctly advertised as an 85mm equivalent.

A: If the lens was used on an APS-C sensor, then the focal length would seem longer. But since it is made for the Fuji G mount cameras, the focal length is shorter due to the larger size of the Fuji GF sensor. It is a 0.8x conversion factor compared to 35mm film and/or full frame cameras.

Q: 8. If using a polarising filter on this lens, do I need one of the 'slim' versions so you don't see the edge of the filter?

A: Yes, since the FUJIFILM GF 20-35mm f/4 R WR Lens is a very wide lens, using a slim filter is recommended.

Q: 9. What is the full frame equivalent to this lens? Would this be good for wide angle interiors? Thank you!

A: This would be equivalent to 36mm on Full Frame. For interiors you may want to go wider. Like the FUJIFILM GF 30mm (24mm equivalent) f/3.5 R WR Lens linked here. https://bhpho.to/36TZiN5. Or wider than that with the FUJIFILM GF 23mm (18mm Equivalent) f/4 R LM WR Lens linked here. https://bhpho.to/36OjfoQ

Q: 10. I am mainly a flowers, landscape, sunset kind of guy. I will jump into the Fuji medium format very soon. What 2 or 3 lenses would be best for my prefered subjects?

A: The FUJIFILM GF 23mm f/4 R LM WR Lens, B&H # FU234RWR, would be a good lens option for landscape images and sunset images of landscapes. To photograph close-up images of flowers, a macro lens such as the FUJIFILM GF 120mm f/4 Macro R LM OIS WR Lens, B&H # FU1204LMWR, would be a good option. For regular images of flowers (not necessarily close-up images), the FUJIFILM GF 63mm f/2.8 R WR Lens, B&H # FU6328RWR, would be a good option for your usage needs.
