FUJIFILM GF 45-100mm f/4 R LM OIS WR

The constant f/4 aperture held up beautifully across the entire zoom range, even in the dim lighting of a church interior. Image stabilization was a lifesaver for handheld shots at the long end—sharp results without a tripod.

I rented this for a weekend shoot and the optical stabilization made handheld shots incredibly sharp even in low evening light. The zoom range covered everything from landscapes to tight portraits without needing to swap lenses.

Pick it up and you immediately feel how well-balanced it is on a GFX body, the zoom ring has just the right amount of resistance. I shot an entire wedding at f/4 and was shocked by the consistent sharpness from 45mm all the way out to 100mm.
