Fujifilm Telephoto 190mm f/8 GX M Soft Focus Lens for GX-680 Cameras USA

FujiGX-M 190mm f/8 Soft Lens - The heart of the Fuji GX680 system is an impressive perspective control camera body and a large lens lineup for it. Modern lens design techniques, coupled with special optical glass and Fuji's exclusive Electron Beam Multicoating (EBC) means impeccable performance and superb quality.

The Fuji GX680 series cameras are commonly used for portrait photography. The standard GX680 lenses are all very sharp and the 180mm f3.2 is a popular choice because of it's speed and ability to separate the subject from the background. Tilts and swings are often employed for effect. Fuji also makes available a very special-purpose soft-focus lens for portraiture and product photography.

The Fujinon 190mm f8 GXM SF lens is uncorrected for spherical aberrations to produce a soft focus effect. The soft focus effect is most pronounced at full aperture. If the aperture is stopped down to f16 or more, the subject will turn out as sharp as that in a picture taken with an ordinary lens.

Note! With traditional soft focus lenses of this type, optimum focusing must be done at the shooting aperture. This lens allows wide open focusing and features an automatic diaphragm, but the true point of focus will shift somewhat when the aperture stops down. To help avoid this, the stop-down preview lever on the lens has a lock which can be used to set the diaphragm to the chosen working aperture.
