Covering a flexible range of medium telephoto focal lengths, the FUJIFILM GF 100-200mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR is a versatile zoom, well-suited for a variety of subjects from portraiture to landscapes. Offering a 79-158mm equivalent focal length, this lens is also characterized by its constant f/5.6 maximum aperture to maintain consistent brightness throughout the zoom range. The optical design incorporates two Super ED elements and one aspherical element, which minimize both chromatic and spherical aberrations for improved clarity, color accuracy, and sharpness. Balancing the optical attributes, this lens is also distinguished by its five stop-effective image stabilization system that minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld imagery. A linear autofocus motor is also used to deliver fast, near-silent focusing performance to benefit both photos and videos. Additionally, the lens also features a dust-, freeze-, and weather-resistant construction to suit working in trying environmental conditions. Medium telephoto zoom lens offers a 79-158mm equivalent focal length to realize a narrow field of view to suit wildlife and portraiture applications. Constant f/5.6 maximum aperture offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range. Two Super ED elements greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range for greater clarity and color accuracy. One aspherical element controls field curvature, distortion, and spherical aberrations in order to maintain a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering. A linear AF motor is used for quick, quiet focusing performance to suit both photo and video applications. Additionally, an updated mechanism also fixes the linear motor position when turning the camera off so the focus position remains the same. A focus limiter switch lets you adjust the focusing range from 2' to infinity or from 16.4' to infinity for faster focusing performance when working with distant subjects. Optical Image Stabilization system compensates for up to five stops of camera shake to help realize sharper imagery when shooting handheld. Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality. Physical aperture ring allows for intuitive adjustment over exposure settings, and incorporates a C (Command) position to permit camera-based aperture setting. Dust- and weather-sealed magnesium-alloy construction enables working in harsh climates and temperatures as low as 14°F. Compatible with optional GF 1.4X TC WR Teleconverter, which extends the focal length to 140-280mm for even greater reach.

This is my newest lens for the GFX system, and I've only had it out a few times now, but I have been very impressed. The size and weight are great for a telephoto zoom on a medium format system. I actually really like the range, and if I can't get quite close enough, well that's where the 102 megapixels of the GFX 100s come in to play! I'm sure it would be excellent on the 50 models as well. In my limited experience with the lens I have found the photos I've taken to be very sharp with excellent colors and contrast. The build quality is also excellent and the OIS works very well. If I dropped this lens off a cliff, I would not hesitate to buy another.

It's taken a little time for me to use this lens enough to feel comfortable writing a review on it because it's not a focal length range that I really need all that often in my shooting. But the few times I've used it now, I've been REALLY blown away by the quality and clarity!Recently we had a really clean night with a full moon and I took it out to see if I could capture anything all that usable and, WOW! I was REALLY blown away with what I got when I looked at the images in Lightroom! You can see details in the moon that I didn't even know was there and could NEVER see with the naked eye! No idea if this is a good astro lens or now, but it worked with the moon and now I want to take it out and try! Great lens!

When I first saw this lens mentioned, I was fairly disappointed due to its widest aperture being only 5.6. However, after receiving this lens I totally understood why and realized what Fuji was striving for. Just to be concise, this lens is amazingly sharp, very light, has awesome image stabilization, and a perfect all-around lens. I am betting that Fuji saw that they had already produced the perfect 250mm lens and realized that they did not need to duplicate a mixture of the 110-120mm lenses and instead went after an awesome all around lens that can be carried pretty easily. I do not have the 50R but I would imagine that putting this lens on it would be very manageable to carry and get great results.Personally, I use this lens predominantly for landscape shots for ... MoreWhen I first saw this lens mentioned, I was fairly disappointed due to its widest aperture being only 5.6.

Of course, it would always be nicer to have it faster but one has to realize the confinements of physics in production. I have used it for portraits and found that one can still separate the subjects from the background quite nicely. I did include a photo that is not very good just as an example where that can be seen. The bokeh is generally quite nice although it is not perfect like the 110mm lens. I feel that it is a bit more busy but very far from being a poor performer. Both the landscape and the portrait shots included were taken hand held at the 100 ISO just to demonstrate how amazing the image stabilization performs. It is extremely nice to have this and allows one to take very nice hand held shots at shutter speeds actually quite slow. When testing it out, I found that I could get extremely sharp shots at speeds as slow as a tenth of a second.I really do not have any complaints about this lens at all. The only thing that I wish they would have done differently is have made the lens foot have an Arca-swiss type plate so one would not have to attach one but that is actually quite minor. I very highly recommend this lens!

I purchased the lens and did my standard test and found an issue with the left side (I performed the test three times to make sure of what I was seeing) and decided that I was not happy with how the lens was performing. I returned the lens and purchased a second and did the same tests. With the second copy, at f5.6 the lens proved to be consistent optically across the frame at all focal lengths. When stopped down to f8 and f11 the sharpness improved across the entire zoom range. The second copy was perfect. I am pleased.
I bought this lens to complement my 32-64 mm lens for landscape photography and I find it works very well. Sharp, quick to focus and with the image stabilization, I can shoot hand held in many situations. I also use it with the GF 1.4X TC to get a bit more reach and with theMCEX-45G for macro work. While the magnification is more modest than with a shorter focal length, the relatively long lens to subject distance makes it a good choice for me. I find it to be sharp alone or with the above additions and I do not see any aberrations to speak of. Many have complained about the limited zoom range. However, as a primarily landscape photographer, I find that having the ability to make modest adjustments to the framing once the composition is selected without moving the ... MoreI bought this lens to complement my 32-64 mm lens for landscape photography and I find it works very well.

Optically, it is a good lens. However, the whole front elements including the rotating manual focus ring and, the seal will fell off along with the lens hood. If you're not in a flat ground, you may not be able to catch the falling Lens hood along with all the pieces in front of lens. It's because the whole front elements are made out of plastic and they are just snapped together. So, it dislodges easily. I encountered this problem numerous times but was able to snap them back then used gaffers tape to keep them together...However, this problem is not unique to me and I saw another photographer was having same problems.I'm a B&H customer and bought many cameras and lenses over the past 2 decades.

I give a 5 because everything was well done. The rental process through the website, the delivery by FedEx, on time, and at the agreed location. The lens was in great shape, well protected inside the case, and it worked as expected. I rented to try the lens for a potential purchase, but I found certain issues with the lens that I didn’t like. I will not be buying the lens, but that has nothing to do with Lensrentals. The return of the lens went smoothly. I will be using Lensrentals again when the need arises .
Love, love, love this lens. I wanted a lens to photograph wildlife as well as landscapes and this is perfect for both (it won't get you as close to animals as the more powerful zooms from the x-series but for me the extra resolution compensates well enough). The lens is quite light, super sharp, the barrel does not extend and it's a fixed aperture lens (with a dedicated ring). These are the things that matter most to me and this lens has them all.
A well-made lens with sharp output and a useful focal range. I use the 100-200 for landscape work where at the moment it fills the long end paired with the 35-70. The lens isn't small, nor is it lightweight (1 pound heavier than Canon's 70-200 2.8), but it hasn't been a problem to carry in my backpack.When shooting this lens my camera is on a tripod the majority of the time with a Firecrest CPL and filter holder mounted. Balance is decent though of course front heavy. Handheld the lens is comfortable enough and the OIS certainly helps reduce hand shake. Internal focus and zoom means once mounted, my variable ND filters stay put and don't spin around as focus changes.Panning and tracking work OK, dependant more on the body and its AF. If you were successful with ... MoreA well-made lens with sharp output and a useful focal range. I use the 100-200 for landscape work where at the moment it fills the long end paired with the 35-70.

If you were successful with manual focus cameras, or in the days when AF was concentrated in the center of the field, you'll do fine with this lens. If on the other hand you want a camera that locks focus and tracks while shooting multi-frame series at high frame and high hit rates, look elsewhere.Cons: While there is a lot to get used to when shooting a larger sensor camera with a long lens mounted, for me most of the cons have been caused by expectations rather than limitations of the lens.The one glaring mistake by Fujifilm: Having a lens collar tripod mount that isn't Arca-Swiss compatible. That to me seems just plain dumb on a system that hopes to attract pro shooters.
Upfront disclosure - I rented this lens to determine whether or not it fit my needs. It remains in my wish list - but I am on the fence about purchasing it as I think it is really a 3.5 star lens that is extremely limited.First thing to say - from an appearance perspective this is an f/4.4 equivalent lens in full frame terms which means if you are after creamy bokeh it isn't there unless you are very purposeful in setting up the shot to get it and accepting the limitations that come with needing to do so. 5.6 is 5.6 regardless of camera format in terms of the amount of light the lens lets through and as such it is not well suited for low light at all. Forget about it. Any thoughts of being able to use this at night, dusk or dawn without extended shutter speeds or ... MoreUpfront disclosure - I rented this lens to determine whether or not it fit my needs.

Forget about it. Any thoughts of being able to use this at night, dusk or dawn without extended shutter speeds or high ISOs are pipe dreams. I do shoot outdoors at these times and end up reaching for my 110mm f/2. Part of the point of zooms is to facilitate mild compromises in the interest of carrying fewer lenses. This is not a mild compromise - it is a huge compromise and a big fail.The focal range on this lens is also very limited. At a peak of 158mm in full frame terms it misses a good chunk of the 150-200mm sweet spot needed for landscape and outdoor portrait photography. I find myself wishing for the extra focal length on a regular basis to prevent the need to crop on my GFX (I print very large pics in wide format - so I need every MP I can get). My wallet aches thinking about the $2800 discounted price of the 250mm and even buying that would leave a large gap in the prime focal range.This is a modern Fuji GF lens and that does mean it is high quality, very sharp and very tough. No complaints about image quality at all. I was very pleased with the shots I got. There is also some merit to the lens for certain types of photos. If you only need up to 158mm then certain landscape shots are very doable. I shoot those around f/11-16 most of the time anyway. In broad daylight or in the studio with proper lighting I am shooting portraits from f8-11 so the f/5.6 isn't a tradeoff in those situations. Though in fairness I suspect I would still reach for my 110mm as it may be the best lens I have ever used.Net-net is that this lens suffers from some of the same flaws that made some of us use our old medium format film cameras for very limited things while adopting 35mm cameras for the bulk of our work many years ago. Limited focal range and an inability to gather enough light in many circumstances is frustrating for those of us who have a huge investment in this system.
