This aperture series at f/5.6 and f/6.4 and f/8 evaluates overall performance of the Fujifilm GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 WR at 50mm on a distant scene.

In particular, it shows how judicious focus placement and ~near-nil distortion can deliver a stunningly good image that exploits the 100MP sensor really well.

Along with superior results at 35mm and at 70mm, the 35-70mm is a must-have lens for its versatility, unbeatable performance, and compact size. It also happens to be a 'steal' at just $999. My #1 choice for the GFX100S, with the #2 choice being the 20-35mm.
