Fujifilm Unveils Eagerly Anticipated Tilt-Shift Lenses for its GFX System of Mirrorless Digital Cameras

VALHALLA, N.Y., September 12, 2023 – FUJIFILM North America Company right now introduced the launch of two extremely anticipated tilt-shift lenses for its GFX System of mirrorless digital cameras FUJINON GF30mmF5.6 T/S lens (GF30mmF5.6 T/S) and FUJINON Lens GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro lens (GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro). These new lenses, designed for GFX System’s 55mm large-format sensor1, cater to the calls for {of professional} photographers that want the power to regulate for parallax, distortion, and focus.

“The introduction of tilt shift lenses for GFX System opens doorways for architectural, product, and industrial photographers to make use of a local G Mount lens for the primary time with their GFX System cameras,” stated Victor Ha, vice chairman, Digital Imaging and Optical Machine Divisions, FUJIFILM North America Company. “Because of this GFX System customers will lastly have the ability to obtain optimum picture high quality as a result of these lenses are particularly designed to profit from GFX System’s 55mm imaging sensor.”

FUJINON GF30mmF5.6 T/S Lens

GF30mmF5.6 T/S is a wide-angle, tilt-shift lens with a 30mm focal size (35mm equal focal size of 24mm). This lens delivers distinctive picture decision, successfully suppresses ghosting, and is right for panorama and architectural images, since tilt and shift changes might be made based mostly on the precise wants of the placement.

Key options:

Superior optics designed to attenuate varied types of aberration whereas delivering distinctive image-resolving efficiency

• GF30mmF5.6 T/S consists of 16 lens parts in 11 teams, together with 3 aspherical parts,2 extra-low dispersion (ED) parts and 1 Tremendous ED aspect. Its expanded configuration options the usage of a big aperture aspherical, entrance aspect in addition to 3 ED parts, offering superior optics designed to remove the necessity for electronically correcting distortion and lateral chromatic aberration. Spherical aberration, comatic aberration and discipline curvature are suppressed to attain edge- to-edge sharpness even throughout shifting.
• Using Fujifilm’s distinctive Nano GI coating know-how controls refractive index on the lens floor to inhibit pointless gentle reflection and to scale back ghosting and flare, that are sometimes seen in wide-angle lenses.

Tilting and shifting mechanisms work together with GFX System’s massive format sensor

• Tilting of ±8.5° and shifting of as much as ±15mm modify the place of the focal airplane and angle of perspective for the consumer. Rotation changes inside ±90° may also be mixed with parallel or perpendicular tilt and shift changes, to offer a excessive stage of flexibility in accounting for the wants of the scene.

• The lens has a built-in sensor that measures adjustments, in levels, to shift or rotation. Modifications might be monitored in Dwell View and are recorded to the picture file’s metadata for reference throughout RAW processing2.

Compact design enhances ease of picture making

• GF30mmF5.6 T/S has a complete picture circle that’s roughly 85mm in diameter. It weighs roughly 2.95 lbs (1,340g) and is simply 5.5 inches (138.5mm) in size, as a consequence of an environment friendly lens design that comes with 16 lens parts in 11 teams, together with aspherical parts and ED parts. A big aperture aspherical aspect can be used because the entrance aspect to attain a 105mm filter thread3, which is a standard filter thread for panorama images.
• GF30mmF5.6 T/S is supplied with a custom-designed tripod collar. Even throughout shifting, the collar helps preserve the topic’s place in relation to the lens to stop parallax and facilitates correct stitching of a number of photos.

FUJINON GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro Lens

GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro is a mid-telephoto, tilt-shift macro lens with a 110mm focal size (equal 35mm focal size of 87mm) and a most magnification issue of 0.5x. Designed to optimally suppress varied varieties of aberrations, together with distortion and lateral chromatic aberration, with its 110mm focal size, this lens delivers unbelievable ranges of picture decision and is right for industrial images, notably for still-life topics.

Key options:

Optical design that produces unbelievable picture sharpness

• GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro consists of 11 lens parts in 9 teams, together with 1 aspherical aspect and a couple of ED parts. The aspherical aspect controls comatic aberration and discipline curvature, whereas the ED parts decrease axial chromatic aberration. Moreover, the lens configuration, with the aperture halfway, suppresses distortion and lateral chromatic aberration to attain edge-to-edge sharpness with out counting on digital correction.
• The utmost magnification issue is 0.5x and complete management of the main target airplane might be achieved by adjusting the lens tilt when it’s near the topic. This can be a characteristic that’s extraordinarily helpful in each industrial images and in still-life functions.

Tilting and shifting mechanisms that maximize advantages of the massive format sensor

• The power to tilt as much as ±10° and to shift as much as ±15mm permits the focal airplane place and angle of perspective to be adjusted as wanted in actual time. Rotation changes inside ±90° may also be mixed with parallel or perpendicular tilt and shift changes, to offer a excessive stage of flexibility in accounting for the wants of the scene.
• GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro has a built-in sensor that measures adjustments, in levels, to shift or rotation. As with GF30mmF5.6 T/S. adjustments might be monitored in Dwell View and are recorded to the picture file’s metadata for reference throughout RAW processing4

Compact design enhances ease of image-making

• GF110mmF5.6 TS MACRO has a 72mm filter thread and measures 5.9 inches (149mm) and weighs 2.77 lbs. (1,255g). It additionally makes use of extends the entrance lens group throughout focusing to maintain the general lens measurement compact.

Pricing and Availability

The FUJIFILM FUJINON GF30mmF5.6 T/S and GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro lenses are every anticipated to be out there in Fall 2023 at Producer’s Instructed Retail Costs of $3,999.95 USD ($5399.99 CDN) and $3,499.95 USD ($4,724.99 CDN) respectively.
