Description

Fujifilm GF 30mm F5.6 Tilt Shift Lens

The Fujifilm GF 30mm F5.6 Tilt Shift Lens is a wide-angle tilt shift lens with the focal length of 30mm (equivalent to 24mm in the 35mm film format). It suppresses distortion and ghosting, typically seen with wide-angle lenses, to achieve a high level of image resolution. This lens meets professional needs in landscape photography where everything within the frame is in focus from grass in the foreground to distant mountains, or in architectural photography with distortion characteristically seen when shooting tall architectures is corrected.

uncompromising image quality, exacting colours and outstanding detail of GF Lenses moves to a specialist field with Fujifilm GF 30mm F5.6 Tilt Shift lens. This wide angle tilt shift lens offers unprecedented control to produce distortion and aberration free images of buildings, interiors, landscapes and more. Combining image quality and functionality in a compact form, it's the perfect lens for exacting professionals who demand ultimate results.

Make no mistake, The GF 30mm F5.6 Tilt Shift is built with pure GFX System DNA, offering a resolving power of more than 100 megapixels without needing electronic correction for distortion or lateral chromatic aberration. Plus, Fujifilm’s unique Nano GI coating technology reduces ghosting and flare to deliver sharp, detail-packed results. Designed for use in situations where image quality is paramount, GF 30mm F5.6 Tilt Shift strongly suppresses spherical aberration, coma aberration, and image curvature. It produces high image quality and exceptional detail from the center to the corners of the frame, even when the shift function is used.

Tilt Shift adjustments are achieved by combining manual adjustments across the len's two mechanisms. Basic Tilt/Shift adjustment alters the direction of tilt and shift functionality by ±90°. Rotating Tilt/Shift adjustment allows the movement direction of the tilt and shift functionality to be set from orthogonal to parallel at  0°, 30°, 60°, and 90°. For every image made with GF 30mm F5.6 Tilt Shift lens, a built-in sensor detects and records the amount of shift and rotation dialled in. This essential information can be recalled instantly when processing RAW files for a seamless post-production workflow.

Compact design

Wide-angle lenses tend to become large. However, this lens has kept the optical system that covers approx. 85mm image circle at just 138.5mm in length and 1.340g in weight by optimally positioning 16 lens elements in 11 groups, including aspherical elements and ED elements. Furthermore, a large aperture aspherical element is used as the front element to keep the lens’s filter thread to versatile 105mm, allowing users to use a variety of filters to suit situations including landscape.

High Performance at High Speed

For every image made with GF 30mm F5.6 T/S, a built-in sensor detects and records the amount of shift and rotation dialled in. This essential information can be recalled instantly when processing RAW files for a seamless post-production workflow.

 

Dedicated Lens Tripod Mount

The lens comes with a tripod collar, specifically designed for it. Even during shifting, the collar helps maintain the subject’s position in relation to the lens to prevent parallax and facilitates accurate stitching of multiple images.

Focus Control

Creating with the tilt function controls depth-of-field, allowing the entire frame – or only a tiny part of it – to be in focus.

Perspective Control

Control perspective and correct for subject distortion using keystone adjustments that will help keep lines straight and images looking great.

Outstanding optical performance

This lens' outstanding optical performance is one of its most distinctive qualities. Landscapes, architecture, and even environmental portraits are perfect subjects for the GF 30mm focal length since it maintains an excellent balance between wide-angle coverage and a natural perspective.

Record Lens Adjustments

The GF 30mm lens digitally communicates with Fujifilm's GFX System cameras to record lens adjustments and save that information to the metadata of those files to be used in post-production.

Advanced optical design that minimizes various forms of aberration while delivering superior image resolving performance

The lens consists of 16 lens elements in 11 groups including three aspherical elements, two ED elements and one Super ED element. Its generous configuration featuring the use of a large aperture aspherical element as the front element as well as three ED elements provides advanced optical design that eliminates the need for electronically correcting distortion and lateral chromatic aberration. Spherical aberration, comatic aberration and field curvature are suppressed to the extreme extent to achieve edge-to-edge sharpness even during shifting.

The use of Fujifilm’s unique Nano GI Coating technology controls refractive index on the lens surface moderately to inhibit unnecessary light reflection and reduce ghosting and flare, which are typically seen in wide-angle lenses.

Tilting and shifting mechanisms that make most of the benefits of the large format sensor

Tiling of ±8.5° and shifting of up to ±15mm control the focal plane and perspective of the subject. The revolving operation of changing tilting and shifting directions within ±90° is combined with the T/S revolving operation, where the angle of tilting and shifting direction can be adjusted from perpendicular to parallel within 0°- 90° to give a high level of shooting freedom.

The lens has a built-in sensor that detects the degree of shifting and revolving movements. This data can be checked in Live View and is recorded into image data so that it can be used during RAW processing.
