FUJINON GF63mmF2.8 R WR is a 50mm equivalent lens that provides a natural view of the world to GFX System users. Its 10 elements, eight groups optical design incorporates one extra-low dispersion element to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, which enhances clarity and color accuracy throughout the lens's aperture range. A fluorine coating has also been added to the front element to repel moisture and the lens also features a dust-, freeze-, and weather-resistant construction for use in inclement conditions.

With a 35mm equivalent focal length of 36mm, FUJINON GF45mmF2.8 R WR has a slightly wider-than-normal field of view and is an ideal lens for everyday excursions. In addition to its wide F2.8 aperture, the lens's optical design incorporates one aspherical element and two extra-low dispersion elements to reduce both spherical and chromatic aberrations for improved sharpness and clarity. A Nano GI coating has also been applied to individual elements to suppress lens flare and ghosting for enhanced contrast and color accuracy. The lens also features a dust-, freeze-, and weather-resistant construction to better withstand the elements.

What is Vespid 2?Named after the agile and efficient wasp, Vespid embodies precision and speed. Vespid 2 builds on this compact, high-performance spirit with full optical and handling upgrades. It empowers filmmakers to achieve faster, more accurate, and more expressive workflows.Optical Reinvention for a New Visual StandardVespid 2 features a fully upgraded optical design with a constant T1.9 aperture across the series. Each lens incorporates new-generation self-developed aspherical elements, precision-polished to the highest standards, paired with multi-layer nano coatings and special calibrated coating formulas to minimize reflections and suppress stray light.The result is outstanding resolution with clean, pure imagery, rich details and textures, delivering pristine imagery with controlled contrast to accommodate diverse creative requirements from commercial to artistic applications. Optimized structure and precision coatings ensure consistent color performance across all focal lengths, enabling seamless integration with all production and post-production workflows for projects ranging from advertising, film, and television productions to individual creative endeavors.Refined Optics for Unmatched ImageryThe new Vespid 2 elevates resolution to meet the most exacting demands of in and out-of-focus rendering. Its redesigned optics suppress chromatic aberration, delivering pure and natural skin tones, while a ten-blade iris with a linear aperture scale produces refined, expressive bokeh for every frame. Enhanced distortion control across the full range-from 18mm ultra-wide to 105mm telephoto-ensures stable, consistent imagery in multi-camera setups or complex shooting environments, minimizing post correction and delivering cohesive precision.Compact Size, Ultimate VisualsCovering the full spectrum from wide to medium telephoto, it supports sensors up to 46.5mm, including RED V-Raptor VV, ARRI Alexa LF, Sony Venice, and other large-format systems. In many scenarios, it also extends coverage to medium-format systems like the Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K 65 and Fujifilm GFX Eterna, delivering high-resolution performance for full-frame cinema while accommodating select medium-format workflows.Get closer and experience deeper immersionFloating Elements for Sharper ImageBuilding on the compact optical design of Vespids, the Vespid 2 lineup integrates floating elements to precisely correct aberration from infinity to minimum focus, ensuring exceptional close-focus performance. With a maximum magnification of 1:5.5-1:8, close-up performance is significantly enhanced, meeting the growing demands of commercials, narrative films, and documentaries.Minimal Focus Breathing for Seamless ShotsMinimal lens breathing ensures smooth transition and stable framing that needs no systemic correction, delivering an immersive cinematic experience whether shooting handheld, monitoring on set, previewing in post, or working in virtual production.Smart Integration for Effortless WorkflowCooke /i Real-Time CommunicationVespid 2 integrates the Cooke /i protocol within its compact housing and is fully compatible with ARRI, RED, Blackmagic, Sony, and Canon cinema cameras.
