FUJIFILM GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 WR Reviews
Medium Format Mirrorless Micro-sized Marvel
For $999 this is a hard sell, but when bought as part of a kit or when discounted to $499 this becomes a lens every GFX owner should have. The lens feels well made and is not too plasticky, although the missing aperture ring does make for an inconsistent control scheme when used in conjunction with other GF lenses. The sharpness is not as biting as Fuji's primes, but it is sufficient to take advantage of the 100MP sensors. This lens features good close focus ability, especially when compared to comparable GF lenses like the 45-100, allowing for a pleasant amount of bokeh in close subject photography, however there is a lot of spherical aberration at close focus distances, significantly reducing contrast unless stopped down. The focal length range is useful, although I do wish it went a little wider. It will be interesting to see if Fuji expands this variable aperture zoom range with a similarly small and affordable telephoto lens, perhaps a 70-140/4.5-6.3?
Useful as a lightweight wide angle lens
At the introductory discount it was worth buying; at full price I would recommend some of the bigger lenses. Takes nice wide angle pictures if you want to lighten your gear. No aperture ring; setting needs to be programmed. Unlike any of my other lenses the lens hood fit was sloppy so I threw it away.
Superrrrbbbb!!!
Excellente piece of glass mate!!!! Unique!..
A Great First Lens for the GFX System
This lens is a stunner if you can get it at the kit or rebate price. At MSRP, I'd potentially save your money to put towards other lenses. This 35-70mm is light and compact. It's somewhat soft in the corners until you stop down a stop or two. It's actually a great landscape lens offering a 28-55mm FF equivalent focal range, and from F/8-F/11 it's a razor. 62mm filter thread diameter isn't super common like 77mm is, maybe get a stepdown ring and share your filters between lenses then. There's a tiny bit of CA on very high contrast subjects, especially at 70mm, but stop down to F/11 and it'll go away. Keep in mind, diffraction doesn't become an issue on medium format until after f/11. F/11-f/16 is perfectly usable without lots of softness like can creep in on APSC and FF formats. The lens is nice and sharp, there is a bit of distortion especially at the wide end, but the cameras firmware profiles will correct for it. I also own the 45-100mm, which is 3 times heavier, 3 times the size, and 3 1/2 times more expensive. It has less wide angle, less distortion, less CA at larger apertures, OIS stabilization, and less close focus ability. The 35-70mm can do close-up shots much better than the 45-100mm where you'll need an extension tube. For the money, you can't beat this little zoom. It's not a portrait lens though, don't expect anything in the way of bokeh and creamy backgrounds. Cheers.
Best Kit Lens
I already have the GF 45-100 but wanted something smaller and lighter to carry for casual use. This lens is incredibly small and lightweight - it is a joy to carry around. AND the image quality is really good. It is sharp and contrasty. The variable aperture doesn't bother me at all. I just set it to 5.6 or 8.0 and never worry about it. The lack of an aperture ring isn't a big deal either. Just adjust it with the front command dial - it is super easy to do. I have used it for landscapes and studio use it was great. It was $500 when I bought it and for that price it is a good deal.
Great deal, awesome lens!
Wasn't sure at first due to the low price, but I am amazed! Fantastic glass and great quality.

Inexpensive (as these things go) and good.
Getting a good lens for a reasonable price. A lot of photographers would be better off spending more money on workshops than prime lens. (just my opinion)
