Fujifilm gf 50mm f 3 5 r lm wr vs fujifilm gf 55mm f 1 7 r wr?

Both lenses frame close to the same view on Fujifilm's medium format bodies, so the choice comes down to size and light. The GF 50mm f/3.5 is the smallest GF lens, about 40mm equivalent. At f/3.5 it gives roughly the depth of field of f/2.8 on this sensor.

The GF 55mm f/1.7 is about 43mm equivalent and much faster. Its f/1.7 gives about the background blur of f/1.3, so it's the one I'd pick for low light and portraits.

Neither lens is stabilised, and both autofocus and fit the same GFX bodies. If you shoot in dim rooms or want a soft background, get the 55mm. If you want the smallest kit, take the 50mm.
