Fujifilm GF 120mm f/4 R LM OIS WR Macro Lens
The GF 120mm f/4 Macro R LM OIS WR from FUJIFILM is specifically engineered for capturing close-up subjects, making it a versatile short telephoto prime lens compatible with the G-mount GFX camera system. With a focal length equivalent to 95mm, a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2, and a minimum focusing distance of 1.5 feet, this lens excels in photographing macro subjects, portraits, and still life compositions. Its optical architecture features three extra-low dispersion elements, which effectively minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations, thereby enhancing clarity and color fidelity. Furthermore, the lens design is optimized to produce aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus areas both in front of and behind the focal plane, ideal for shallow depth of field photography. A floating elements system is also integrated to ensure consistent sharpness across the entire focusing range, while a linear autofocus motor delivers rapid and silent focusing capabilities.

The incorporation of Optical Image Stabilization significantly enhances handheld shooting by reducing the visibility of camera shake, resulting in sharper images, particularly when utilizing slower shutter speeds. Furthermore, a focus range limiter switch is provided, allowing users to restrict the focus to a range of 1.5 to 3 feet, from 3 feet to infinity, or to the entire focusing range. To enhance durability, a fluorine coating has been applied to the front element to repel moisture, and the lens is constructed to be resistant to dust, freezing temperatures, and adverse weather conditions. Additionally, a manual aperture ring is included for straightforward and tactile control over exposure settings, along with a Command position that enables camera-based aperture adjustments.
