DPRTV: Fujinon GF45-100mm f/4 LM OIS WR Review

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 9, 2020

DPRTV reviewed. the Fujinon GF45-100mm f/4 LM OIS WR on the Fujifilm GFX100. Below is a summary of the video above:

The GF45-100mm is about a 35-80mm
Could use a wider zoom
Fujifilm’s other zoom the GF32-64mm which about a 26-50mm
If you own them both there is a lot of overlap
Fujifilm needs to release a 20-35mm zoom to go with the GF45-100mm
Can handhold at 1/30th a second at 100mm
All the rings feel great and everything is weather sealed
82mm filter thread
Well built high-quality lens
1005g or 2.2lbs so not much heavier than a 20-70mm full-frame
Very well controlled chromatic aberration
LoCA very clean and well-controlled
Very little ghosting from flare
Sun stars are ok
Bokeh can get a little onion ringy, but not much cats eye in the corner
Great lens for a camera like the GFX50R since there is no IBIS on that camera
Very quick AF with its linear motor
A very sharp lens that delivers on the GFX100
Center very sharp and the corners even wide open
Minimal focusing distance isn’t amazingly close
Very consistent and high sharpness
For video there is linear and nonlinear focus ring options
There is a lot of focus breathing at the wide and telephoto end so it isn’t ideal for video
It would be hard to use just this lens all-day
You can use it for portraiture
If you want really shallow depth of field you will want the GF110mm f/2
Equal to about an f/3.2 in full-frame terms
For architecture, you might want something wider
The OIS is fantastic for the non-IBIS bodies
