NiSi has announced the launch of its new 16mm f/2.8 ASPH lens designed specifically for Fujifilm GFX medium format cameras, offering creators an exciting ultra-wide option for landscape, architecture, and interior photography. The lens provides a 12.6mm full-frame equivalent field of view, making it ideal for capturing expansive scenes with striking depth and perspective.

Built with a sophisticated optical formula, the lens features 16 elements arranged in 12 groups, including three aspherical and four ultra-low dispersion (UDL) elements to minimize aberrations and deliver sharp, color-accurate results. This aligns well with Fujifilm’s renowned color science, especially in the GFX series, which is celebrated for its rich tonal gradation and natural rendering.

The manual focus design includes a clicked aperture ring for tactile control, allowing photographers to make precise adjustments during shooting. An 8-blade diaphragm contributes to pleasing bokeh characteristics, while front filter threading enables the use of ND or polarizing filters for enhanced creative flexibility in bright or reflective environments.

Durability is supported by antireflective and hard surface coatings, helping to reduce flare and protect the lens in demanding outdoor conditions. With an aperture range from f/2.8 to f/22, the lens offers versatility across lighting conditions and depth-of-field needs, supporting both low-light shooting and deep focus landscapes.

This release strengthens the growing ecosystem of third-party lenses for the GFX system, empowering creators to explore new visual possibilities while leveraging the retro-inspired design and exceptional image quality that Fujifilm’s X-T and GFX lines are known for. As medium format continues to gain traction among serious photographers and videographers, tools like this NiSi lens help bridge performance and accessibility.
