Photographers invest in medium format because that larger sensor has more light gathering and bokeh-creating prowess. Yet, look down the list of medium format lenses; the aperture numbers are typically higher than that of full frame. The new Fujifilm GF 55mm f1.7 R WR is one of the widest aperture optics for the GFX system, following the 80mm f1.7. Equivalent to roughly a 44mm f1.3 on full frame, the lens brings a view close to that of human vision, allowing for a bit of background compression and a little creative perspective distortion.
