The GF 45-100mm F4 R LM OIS WR has the maximum aperture of F4 and covers most frequently-used focal lengths from 45mm to 100mm (equivalent to 36-79mm in the 35mm film format). Equipped with a powerful image stabilization mechanism and a weather-resistant structure, the lens caters to severe shooting conditions. The GF45-100mmF4 R LM OIS WR meets high expectations of professional photographers and photography enthusiasts in portraiture and various shooting situations.
GF lenses are Fujifilm's highest-grade lenses that deliver superior image quality with ultra-high image resolution and wide tonal reproducibility. This is made possible by the use of Fujifilm's exceptional optical design technology and production technology that processes lens surfaces with the precision at a submicron level, fostered through the development of industry-leading FUJINON lenses.
The new GF45-100mmF4 R LM OIS WR consists of 16 lens elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical elements, one Super ED element and one ED element. It controls various aberrations thoroughly to achieve an astonishing images with sharpness, comparable to prime lenses, and high contrast delivering an impressive image resolving power across its zoom range. The use of a powerful five stop image stabilization mechanism and a fast, silent and highly accurate AF driven by linear motor ensures that users can shoot hand-held with confidence. Furthermore, the lens is dust and weather resistant and capable of operating at temperatures as low as -10°C, facilitating photography in light rain or in dusty outdoor areas with peace of mind.
The GF45-100mmF4 R LM OIS WR can be combined with two existing zooms, namely the standard zoom lens “FUJINON Lens GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR” and the telephoto zoom lens “FUJINON Lens GF100-200mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR” to cover focal lengths from 32mm in wide angle to 200mm in telephoto (equivalent to 25mm-158mm in the 35mm film format), further broadening applications for the world of ultra-high image quality.
Forget the notion that the image quality produced by zoom lenses isn't comparable to primes, Fuji have produced a stunning optic in the GF 45-100. A very useful focal range for a general walk around lens and constant f/4 aperture, yes it's "chunky" but a manageable carry. I'm constantly amazed how sharp GF lenses are and the 45-100 is no exception there; Images pop with excellent contrast and clarity. Build quality is excellent. In summary, this is a superb lens and probably the most versatile and useful in the GF lens line-up.
Perhaps the best of the GF zooms so far. Its build and focusing action feels more reassuring than on the 100-200mm lens. It balances superbly on the 100s body. It is also pretty resistant to diffraction. I shoot landscapes all the time with it at f16 and there is no perceptible loss of sharpness or softening until the image is blown up to gigantic scale and even then its in the corners. focused at infinity on a mountain nat anywhere from 5.6 to 11 its ability to render fine details is astounding. I've found it much sharper than the 100-200 at about the 100mm intersection between the two lenses. AF is plenty fast enough and the motors are far more reassuring than those deployed, for example, I the 80mm f 1.7. Can't recommend the lenses highly enough.
