The 24mm* angle of view has become so popular that many consider this to be the standard for wide angle lenses. Once this was referred to as super wide angle, but now this view captures all the magic of a scene. *This lens has excellent edge to edge sharpness, bringing out the full potential of GFX sensors, helping to convert what you see into art.

• The lens reproduces sharp edges and shows every fine detail. Yet, the ultimate goal of high image resolution is to reproduce things as close to real life as possible. A truly great photograph conveys a gentle touch rather than harsh sharpness.
• This lens is designed to enhance your joy in photography as you continue to use it. It does this by being compact when combined with the camera, allowing you to be confident enough to use it in every environment. The wide angle of view and advanced image sharpness combines with your creativity to capture your "impression" of a scene, which is the precious element of photography.
• WORKING WITH YOU - Ideally the autofocus system on a lens should be almost unnoticeable. It should finish autofocussing by the time you press the shutter button. It should be so fast and quiet that you don't even feel it. The AF in the GF30mm is such a system.
• PROTECT YOUR CREATIVITY FROM THE ELEMENTS - Weather-sealing is often thought of as a feature that just protects the lens. What in fact it also protects your creativity and the photograph you are trying to take. Using a fluorine coating on the front lens element makes it dust and moisture resistant, which allows you to concentrate on photography even in tough conditions. This is the key role of a lens.
