Fujifilm gf 45mm f 2 8 r wr vs fujifilm gf 55mm f 1 7 r wr?

Both lenses fit the same Fujifilm G cameras, so the choice comes down to what you want in the frame.

The Fujifilm GF 45mm f/2.8 R WR frames like a 36mm on full frame. That wider view suits travel, street and environmental shots where the place matters as much as the person. At f/2.8 more of the scene stays sharp.

The Fujifilm GF 55mm f/1.7 R WR is my pick for portraits and low light. It frames like a 43mm on full frame, and f/1.7 gives about the background blur of f/1.3 there, so your subject separates from the background much more easily.

My rule: take the 45mm when you want context, and the 55mm when you want light and separation. If you're unsure how aperture changes blur, the focal length converter explains it.
