Fujifilm GF 120mm f/4 R LM OIS WR Macro Lens

The GF120mmF4 R LM OIS WR Macro is a mid-telephoto macro lens specifically designed for the new G Mount and 43.8 x 32.9mm sensor. The GF lens range, which can cope with resolutions up to 100MP, combines the latest technologies with extensive knowledge accumulated from making XF lenses to deliver the best possible image quality and realize the full potential of the new GFX 50S medium format mirrorless camera. The intuitive controls include a C position on the aperture ring, which allows you to adjust the aperture value with the command dial on the camera body. The A (Auto) and C positions are now lockable and all the lenses are weather and dust resistant, plus they can work in temperatures as low as -10°C for worry-free shooting outdoors. Brass mount has been adopted for the strength. This new lens series is set to become a professional workhorse.

Mid-telephoto Macro Lens

A mid-telephoto half-lifesize macro lens with a 95mm focal length (35mm format equivalent)

High Image quality

The lens construction of 14 elements in 9 groups (including 3 ED lens) delivers high resolution images with minimal aberration thanks to the floating focus system. The positioning of the three ED lenses is optimized so that the color aberration is minimized ensuring the best possible image quality with beautiful front and rear bokeh.

Fast, silent autofocus

A floating focus system with two linear motors drives the autofocus lens group for a fast, silent AF performance.

Operation

The aperture ring has a C position (Command dial mode). This allows you to control the aperture with the command dial on the camera body. The A (AUTO) and C positions are lockable to prevent incorrect operations. A focus range selector allows you to set the optimal focus range for macro and mid-telephoto use to reduce autofocusing time.

• Use the focus range selector on the lens barrel to limit the autofocus range for either macro or mid-telephoto distances, significantly reducing focus hunting time.
• For aperture control via the camera body, rotate the aperture ring to the 'C' position and lock it.
• Keep the front and rear elements clean using a microfibre cloth and a high-quality lens cleaning solution.
• Store the lens in a dry, cool environment, ideally in a protective case or bag with silica gel to prevent fungal growth, especially after shooting in damp weather.
