The Natural Angle of View
Matching GF55mmF1.7 R WR's focal length with the diagonal measurement of a GFX System camera's imaging sensor creates an angle of view that is very similar to the human eye. This unlocks an abundance of detail within each image, especially when it is combined with the system's native 4:3 aspect ratio. Amidst the vast sea of visual perspectives, GF55mmF1.7 is truly a wonderful, all-around solution for any visual style.
Delivering the Detail
GF55mmF1.7 R WR delivers high-resolution images packed with punchy contrast, beautiful colors and exquisite tones. It utilizes two aspherical lenses and two ED lenses to suppress axial chromatic aberration. Aperture adjustments are also coordinated with the front and rear lens groups, which maintains consistent levels of aberration correction regardless of the focus position.
Go For Bokeh!
Combining a fast maximum aperture with a medium format sensor is the perfect recipe for sumptuous bokeh and GF55mmF1.7 R WR does not disappoint. It is the first GF Lens to feature 11 diaphragm blades, resulting in a near-perfect circular aperture, even at F4 or F5.6. The result is images with outstanding bokeh, distorton-free highlights and minimal aberrations.
Optimised Autofocus
On top of exceptional image quality, GF55mmF1.7 R WR delivers impeccable autofocusing. Its near-silent, vibration-free DC motor produces a fast, flawless performance that ensures no moment is missed, however fleeting.

Lightweight and durable, GF55mmF1.7 R WR is ideal for every occasion. Its weather-resistant design confidently repels water, dust and low temperatures, while its modest dimensions and 780g (27.5oz) weight make it comfortable to carry all day long.
