SUMMARY

Samuel Elkins advocates for the Fujifilm GF 120mm Macro lens, calling it a quiet favorite within the GFX system. Despite being a macro lens, its 90mm equivalent focal length makes it suitable for portraits and landscapes, in addition to detailed close-ups. A focus switch allows it to adapt to different shooting scenarios, from macro to infinity. Elkins found its tack-sharp results and manageable size beneficial for hospitality and portrait shoots, noting that the macro capability adds a unique textural layer to his work.
