Fujifilm Corporation will release the “Fujinon Lens GF19-35mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR” (hereinafter: GF19-35mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR) on July 23, 2026. This lens is a new addition to its “GF Lens” lineup of interchangeable lenses for the “GFX series” of mirrorless digital cameras, which are equipped with a large format sensor that is approximately 1.7 times the size of a 35mm format sensor.
The GF19-35mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR is the second large-format “GF lens” to feature a 19-35mm focal length (equivalent to 15-28mm in 35mm format). This combines operability of the focus and zoom rings suitable for video production with high quality.
Inheriting the operability and design of the “Premista series” of cinema camera zoom lenses, which have been well-received in many video production settings, this lens achieves a lightweight design of approximately 2.1 kg by adopting a lens configuration optimized for electric power zoom and a DC motor. When combined with the “FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55” camera (hereinafter: GFX ETERNA 55), it is said to contribute to high-quality and efficient video production.
In recent years, the video production industry has been striving to achieve both “labor-saving” and “high quality.” The GF19-35mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR covers a wider angle range than the “Fujinon Lens GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR” (hereinafter: GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR) announced last September. It is said to enable high-quality video expression, such as shooting magnificent natural landscapes and dynamic shots with a sense of depth that highlight people standing in the foreground.
OIS WR Lineup
The GF19-35mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR and GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR lens lineup allows for shooting from ultra-wide angle to standard focal lengths. Furthermore, these two lenses are designed with identical external dimensions. Because they share common accessories, they improve efficiency when changing lenses, making equipment swapping easier, especially in small-team video production environments.
The GF19-35mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR achieves high resolution comparable to a prime lens despite being a zoom lens, thanks to its minimal distortion reduction. When combined with the GFX ETERNA 55, it enables high-quality image expression that maximizes the lens’s excellent tonal gradation and detailed rendering capabilities.
Furthermore, it maintains a bright aperture of T3.5 throughout the entire zoom range, allowing for precise exposure adjustments according to the creator’s intentions. In addition, even when shooting with both the GF19-35mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR and the GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR in the same project, it is possible to create images with consistent color and tone. Post-production adjustments are also simplified, supporting more efficient production.
The Fujifilm GF19-35mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR, when used in conjunction with the GFX ETERNA 55 and the GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR, establishes a shooting style that requires minimal equipment and manpower, greatly expanding creative freedom and opening up new possibilities in video production.
Fujifilm GF19-35mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR Product features
A power zoom lens for video, boasting a T3.5 aperture across the entire focal length range.
This is an electrically operated power zoom lens with a focal length of 19-35mm (equivalent to 15-28mm in 35mm format), covering the range from ultra-wide-angle to wide-angle. When combined with the GFX ETERNA 55, it enables power zoom operation from the camera.
This lens employs a luxurious 15-group, 23-element configuration, including four ED lenses and three aspherical lenses. By maximizing the characteristics of each lens, aberrations are effectively suppressed. As a result, it maintains a bright T3.5 aperture throughout the zoom range while achieving a compact size and high resolution performance.
By combining the operability of cinema lenses with a lightweight design, the burden of long shooting sessions is reduced.
By utilizing the cinema lens processing technology cultivated over many years to thin the lens material and by adopting a rear focusing system, this large-format compatible power zoom lens achieves a compact and lightweight design with a total length of approximately 222mm and a weight of approximately 2.1kg.
It features a triple ring system that allows for independent manual control of focus, zoom, and aperture (iris), and all control rings utilize the same 0.8M (module) gear pitch as previous FUJINON cine lenses. This allows for the use of standard peripheral accessories essential for video production, such as follow focus and lens motors.
The focus ring features a wide 200-degree rotation angle. This allows for precise focusing even in scenes with a shallow depth of field, thanks to its smooth torque.
The GFX ETERNA 55 camera body and the included handle’s multifunction dial allow for control of focus, zoom, and aperture (iris). Furthermore, the GFX ETERNA 55 supports constant-speed focus and constant-speed zoom settings, supporting one-man operation.
Designed with the exact same external dimensions as the “GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR,” it allows for the use of common accessories to assemble rigs, and the zoom and focus controls are also consistent with the “GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR.”
Exceptional image quality backed by advanced optical design technology
The Fujifilm GF19-35mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR employs Nano GI coating technology to suppress flare and ghosting caused by light entering the lens at an oblique angle. This reduces reflection loss and increases light transmission, resulting in clear image rendering performance.
By utilizing proprietary optical design technology and optimally positioning the internal configuration of the lens housing, the lens suppresses abrupt changes in the angle of view (breathing) that occur during focusing, thereby improving compositional stability.
It employs 13 aperture blades to achieve a nearly circular iris shape. This maintains the circularity of the bokeh even when slightly stopped down from wide open, allowing you to enjoy beautiful bokeh that takes advantage of point light sources in dimly lit indoor and outdoor environments.
Powerful image stabilization and fast, smooth, and highly accurate autofocus are achieved.
By improving the accuracy of image stabilization sensing and optimizing the image stabilization mechanism, more powerful image stabilization has been achieved. This enables dynamic video expression with the perspective unique to wide-angle lenses, even when shooting handheld with a gimbal.
By directly driving the motor at high speed in response to the operation of the focus, zoom, and aperture (iris) rings, a high level of both responsiveness to ring operations and accuracy of the indicator position are achieved.
