Description — Fujifilm 30mm f/3.5 R WR
The FUJINON GF30mm F3.5 R WR is a 30mm wide-angle prime lens designed exclusively for the Fujifilm GFX medium format system, mounting via the Fujifilm GFX lens mount. With a maximum aperture of f/3.5 and a fixed focal length, it delivers a consistent wide field of view well-suited to subjects like landscapes, interiors, and environmental work. The lens offers both autofocus and manual focus modes, allowing photographers to adapt their approach to suit the shooting scenario.
Tipping the scales at 508g, it remains a practical carry for a medium format prime. The 58mm filter thread is a convenient standard size that keeps accessory costs in check.
