Strong
The Fujifilm GF 32-64mm f/4 R LM WR is a versatile, weather-sealed zoom lens that offers exceptional optical quality and fast autofocus performance for the GFX system. Although it is a physically large and expensive piece of glass that lacks image stabilization, it remains a favorite choice for photographers seeking prime-like results in a standard zoom range.

The zoom lens that the GFX system needed delivers excellent results overall with very few optical shortcomings. Can’t quite fill the same role as a normal zoom lens in a full-frame system, e.g., 24-70mm f/2.8.
-
So if you can stomach its price or at least get a good deal on it, it does come recommended.
-
The Fujifilm GF 32-64mm f4 R LM WR is a great zoom lens for the fledgling medium-format system, offering enough versatility and quality to deserve a place in every GFX shooter's camera bag.
-
The weather-sealed build quality is deeply satisfying, handling is assured, and image quality is exceptional. All in all, it’s a terrific lens.
-
The Fujifilm Fujinon GF 32-64mm F4 LM R WR ticks all the boxes of a pro-grade lens, including a useful coverage range, fast focus, and durable construction.
- Photo Review 8.9/10
The GF 32-64mm f/4 R LM WR is the only general-purpose G-mount lens and unlikely to be challenged in the foreseeable future, going by Fujifilm’s published roadmap. So it’s nice to see that it’s such a fine performer.
-
This Medium Format lens is easily one of the best zooms on any system.
-
This is a big lens with big performance. Optics are flawless and operation is excellent, too.
-
Despite my wishlist, I enjoyed using the GF 32-64mm f/4 R WR and have come to appreciate why it has become a favorite choice of many GFX photographers.
-
The price tag of this lens is around 2,300 which is expensive but given that this is a medium format camera system here is also affordable if you compare it for instance to Hasselblad XCD lenses or to other medium format camera systems.
