By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 1, 2022

Damian Brown posted his Fujinon GF 80mm f/1.7 review. You can watch the video above or check out the bullet points below:

3rd stops that are solid and audible up to f/22
70cm is the close focus distance
weighs 795g
Nice lens hood that fits well
12 elements in 9 groups 1 ASPH and 2 Super ED
The 35mm equivalent of 63mm in 35mm with an angle of view of 37.7 degrees
Great short portrait/tele lens
Excellent first-class build quality
Fastest AF lens in the GFX system
The 110mm f/2 set the bar very high
The 80mm f/1.7 is more standard
Good compression
DC Motors so there is room for AF speed improvement
Face and eye detection is only fairly fast and reliable
Doesn’t really hunt in low light
Testing was done on GFX100S
Image quality is excellent with plenty of sharpness where it counts
Corner sharpness falls off, but the lens is designed for portraits so that is fine
MTF charts back up what he is seeing
Lens has some character that works well for portraits
f/1.7 is great on the GFX
Great faithful colors
Chromatic aberration is minimal
Flaring is low
Great subject separation with lots of pop and appeal
Torn between this and the GF110mm but he prefers the 110mm even though the 80mm is more versatile
The GFX performs super well with the GF80mm but it can get better via firmware updates in the future
