The expertise has come from years of developing industry leading FUJINON lenses, including broadcast lenses that have recently been awarded the Engineering Emmy ® Award by the U.S. Television Academy. GF lenses can utilize the full potential of the FUJIFILM GFX 100, GFX 50S and GFX 50R mirrorless digital cameras. Coupled with Fujifilm’s unique color reproduction technology, these lenses deliver some of the highest image quality in the world.
