Conclusion from DPReview:
The Fujifilm GF 30mm F3.5 is a solid wide-angle prime for users of the company’s GFX camera bodies. It’s sharp wide-open and only gets sharper as you stop down a bit, it’s built really well and it makes for a nice walk-around lens for all types of photography. Bokeh and sunstars aren’t always the strongest, and ghosting artifacts with the sun in the frame can be a bit much. But we think its qualities outshine its shortcomings, and can comfortably recommend it for GFX shooters.
What we like
- Quite sharp wide-open, and gets even sharper by F5.6
- Excellent build quality, still lightweight
- Compact size makes for a good ‘walk-around’ option
- Basically no chromatic aberrations
- Limited vignetting and distortion
What we don’t
- Less contrast at close focus distance
- Out-of-focus highlights can be distracting, more-so edges of frame
- Visible ghosting artifacts with bright light sources in the frame
- Focus could be faster and silent
- Sunstars are just ‘decent’
