LENS STORIES: GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 WR x Lin Li

The first time I got FUJINON GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 WR lens, I was attracted by its size. It’s the size of a fist, and it doesn’t put any burden on the shooting. It’s hard to imagine that this is a medium frame zoom lens.

Fujifilm’s new retractable lens structure can get smaller volume when the lens is closed. This injects more freedom into creation.

The GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 WR lens is rich in the most used focal range. It gives more possibilities to shoot. Make the composition simple and free.

In the picture of motorcycle rear wheel sliding and splashing sand. Several times, the composition has changed as expected. The advantages of a zoom lens are also highlighted. Let me break through the restrictions in the process of shooting, and capture everything I see and feel freely.

This lens is of moderate weight, even lighter than many 135mm medium zoom lenses. When used with FUJIFILM GFX100S, the lens and fuselage can achieve a very good balance.

Because the weight and volume are much smaller than other frames and lenses. When carrying Dajiang M600 for aerial photography, the endurance is significantly longer.

In terms of image quality, I don’t want to use too many words to describe it. The resolution of the lens is enough to explain the problem with the naked eye. The following is a picture of a temple gate in Qinghai Lake and its partial cutting.

There’s also a small episode in taking pictures of motorcycles by the lake. Due to the problem of rider operation. The rear wheel splashed a lot of water directly on the camera. The amount of water is totally beyond the so-called waterproof scope of ordinary lens. But this lens is still intact to accompany us to the end of the journey.

In fact, it’s rare for a common focus range, compact and portable, high-resolution, waterproof and dustproof all-weather lens. For the medium frame lens, it is even more valuable.
