Fujifilm is a world-renowned photographic company that needs no introduction. It’s been going about its business since 1934, but the medium-format GFX system is comparatively in its infancy, having been launched in 2017. It certainly hit the ground running though, and I’m a big fan of the growing range of excellent Fujinon GF lenses for its medium format cameras.
Although the range is continually expanding, there are currently no GF-mount super-telephoto lenses. At the time of writing this review, the longest telephoto offerings are the Fujinon GF 250mm F4 R LM OIS WR prime and the Fujinon GF 100-200mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR zoom. Factor in the large medium format image sensor of GFX cameras and these lenses give a maximum reach equivalent to using roughly a 200mm or 160mm lens on full-frame cameras, respectively. With high hopes to be one of the all-time best teleconverters, the Fujinon GF 1.4X TC WR aims to add extra reach and versatility to the GFX system.
