Fujifilm gf 50mm f 3 5 r lm wr vs fujifilm gf 63mm f 2 8 r wr?

Both are Fujifilm GF primes for medium format. Both autofocus, neither is stabilised, and both fit the same GFX bodies, from the GFX 50S II up to the GFX100 II. The real difference is framing and background blur.

The GF 50mm f/3.5 is the smallest GF lens. It frames about like 40mm on full frame, and its f/3.5 gives roughly the depth of field of f/2.8. I'd pick it for everyday walking-around shooting, where size matters more than separation.

The GF 63mm f/2.8 frames like a 50mm on full frame, and its f/2.8 gives about the depth of field of f/2.2. That blurs the background more, so it suits portraits and subjects you want to lift out of their surroundings.

Choose the 50mm for a smaller, wider kit, and the 63mm when you want more blur and a more standard view.
