The busy, swirled bokeh could be used from an artistic standpoint but most portrait shooters will avoid it for that reason alone. This will never be the favorite for most portrait photographers. That’s the penalty from an aspherical lens but shouldn’t affect most landscape photographers. As you can see, the sharpness does affect the bokeh, giving it a bit of a swirl that’s noticeable in the lower left corner. The above photos help to show some of the bokeh rendering. Deception Pass shot at 200mm ƒ/5.6, 1/80s handheld I left OIS on due to the wind and long shutter speed required for the conditions. Regarding the latter, these shots were taken with my GFX 50S, a 1/15s shutter on a Gitzo Series 1 Mountaineer tripod. What should be obvious in the above photos is the fact that weather sealing and optical image stabilization are excellent. Comet Falls using the GF 100-200mm ƒ/5.6 at 100mm FOV Same photo cropped in around 12:1 Same location and position at 160mm FOV This is the sharpest lens I’ve ever used. Use it anytime, anywhere and it is razor sharp. This is sharp, corner to corner, throughout its zoom and aperture range. Other lenses are sharp but with caveats, like needing to shoot at ƒ/8 or only at certain focal lengths. If you’re a landscape photographer, your long telephoto lens for GFX has arrived. So, let me be clear when I say that the GF 100-200mm has sharpness for days, all along its aperture range. Sharpness is extremely important if you intend to crop down to minuscule sizes. This alone will allow you to crop down for more “zoom.” Of course, sensor size alone isn’t what makes this a possibility. Sure, the maximum focal length of 200mm equals just 160mm field of view in 35mm terms, which isn’t very much reach at all, but remember that you’re shooting on a medium format. Not all is bad news though: you get excellent OIS and weather sealing, a 67mm filter thread for more reasonably priced filters, a removable tripod foot, a slim profile that’s smaller than most 70-200 ƒ/2.8 lenses and a price of just $1999 USD. For more range, it’s compatible with the $850 GF 1.4x teleconverter, bringing the maximum focal length to 280mm but at a minimum ƒ/8. Giving up a stop of light in exchange for 100mm of zoom range, the GF 100-200mm manages to be light and compact.
