FUJINON GF 35-70mm F4.5-5.6 WR

I was shocked by how sharp this lens is across the whole zoom range, and the autofocus on my camera feels snappy even in dim light. The compact build makes it perfect for slipping into a smaller bag when I don't want to carry my heavy primes.

The weight difference from my usual primes is what sold me—this zoom is so light on the GFX body that I barely notice it in the bag. Tack-sharp results even wide open at f/4.5, and the weather sealing gave me real peace of mind during a light drizzle.

I’ve been shooting handheld all day and barely noticed the weight—it’s genuinely compact for a medium format zoom. The depth separation at 70mm is ridiculous, and the weather sealing handled a sudden drizzle without a second thought.
