Scenes Seen: GF 80mm f/1.7… More Overkill.

I heart this lens.

Lens I Had Was Fine Until It Wasn’t: FUJIFILM GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR Preview.

Why?

I am glad I imagined that you asked. Easy.

It makes purty pictures. Very purty.

Point it at anything…

Anything.

Press the shutter and good gravy. Point it at people?… Even better.

But here is the kicker. It creates good old medium format-y fast crazy rangefinder type pics, but… It has a reasonable full frame equivalent focal length of about 63mm. So, subject isolation does not require standing yelling distance away. It is also a practical AF lens. So. Special IQ that can be used for nearly anything.

The pics.

Thoughts.

Overkill?

Yep.

Necessary?

Not at all.

Fun?

Yep.

Happy capturing.
