Fujifilm has expanded its GF medium-format system with the addition of the Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8 R WR lens.

The Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8 R WR is a highly versatile wide angle lens with a focal length equivalent to 36mm (on a 35mm format) and maximum F2.8 aperture. Thanks to its dust- and weather-resistant design, this lens is ideal for street and documentary photography. Lens construction includes a 9 blade aperture and 8 groups with 11 elements, including one aspherical and two ED lenses.

The Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8 R WR is scheduled to be released in November for $1700.
