Fujifilm gf 63mm f 2 8 r wr vs fujifilm gf 55mm f 1 7 r wr?

The Fujifilm GF 55mm f/1.7 R WR and the Fujifilm GF 63mm f/2.8 R WR are both autofocus primes for Medium format (44 x 33) cameras on the Fujifilm G mount, and neither is stabilised. Both fit the same GFX bodies, so the choice comes down to the view and the light.

The 55mm f/1.7 frames like about 43mm on full frame and gives roughly the background blur of f/1.3. Choose it for low light and for separating your subject from the background.

The 63mm f/2.8 frames like about 50mm on full frame and gives roughly f/2.2 depth of field. It's the slower, more standard choice, and a good fit if you want a little more reach without going to a longer lens.

If you're unsure how aperture and sensor size interact, the focal length converter explains it.
