Fujifilm’s FUJINON GF19-35mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR and GF32-90mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR provide motorized zoom operation, OIS and GFX large-format coverage for filmmaking, including use with the GFX ETERNA 55.
Fujifilm has expanded its filmmaking-oriented GFX lens lineup with the FUJINON GF19-35mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR, a wide-angle power zoom designed to complement the previously introduced FUJINON GF32-90mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR.
Both lenses use Fujifilm’s G mount and are designed for the GFX system’s large-format sensor. Fujifilm specifically identifies the lenses as filmmaking-oriented power zooms and says the GF19-35mm can be used with the GFX ETERNA 55, including its Open Gate recording mode.

Two Power Zooms Cover 19-90mm
The two lenses provide complementary focal-length ranges:
- GF19-35mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR: 19-35mm, equivalent to approximately 15-28mm in 35mm format.
- GF32-90mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR: 32-90mm, equivalent to approximately 25-71mm in 35mm format.
Used together, the lenses cover 19-90mm natively on the GFX format, or approximately 15-71mm in 35mm-equivalent terms.
The GF32-90mm was introduced in 2025 as Fujifilm’s first motorized power-zoom lens for the GF system. The GF19-35mm, announced in July 2026, is the second.
Constant T3.5 Aperture
Both lenses maintain a constant T3.5 aperture throughout their respective zoom ranges. This allows filmmakers to zoom without changing exposure solely because of aperture ramping. Fujifilm specifically highlights the constant T3.5 aperture of the GF32-90mm as an advantage for maintaining exposure when zooming during a production.
The GF19-35mm also uses a constant T3.5 aperture and a 13-blade iris. Its optical construction consists of 23 elements in 15 groups, including four ED elements and three aspherical elements.
The GF32-90mm uses 25 elements in 19 groups, including three ED and three aspherical elements. It also has a 13-blade iris and a T3.5 maximum transmission value throughout its range.
Motorized Focus, Zoom and Iris
The GF19-35mm incorporates internal motors for focus, zoom and iris control. Its focus, zoom and iris rings use 0.8M gear pitch, allowing the lens to work with filmmaking accessories such as follow-focus systems and lens motors. Fujifilm also provides manual and servo control functionality.
The GF32-90mm likewise uses a DC motor optimized for motorized power-zoom operation. Fujifilm designed the lens with filmmaking operation in mind while retaining the handling philosophy of its Premista cinema zoom lenses.
The GF19-35mm’s focus ring provides a 200-degree rotation angle, while the lens uses separate rings for focus, iris and zoom.
Designed for GFX Large-Format Sensors
The GFX ETERNA 55 uses a 43.8 × 32.9mm sensor with a 54.8mm diagonal. Fujifilm classifies this as a large-format sensor and says it is approximately 1.7 times the size of a 35mm full-frame sensor.
The distinction between sensor diagonal and lens image circle is important: 54.8mm is the diagonal measurement of the GFX sensor, not a specification that should automatically be described as the image-circle diameter of both lenses.
Fujifilm specifically states that the GF19-35mm is capable of covering the GFX ETERNA 55’s Open Gate recording area. The GF32-90mm was likewise designed for use with the GFX ETERNA 55 and covers its Open Gate format.
Optical Image Stabilization
Both power zooms incorporate Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).
For the GF19-35mm, Fujifilm describes an updated stabilization mechanism and improved shake-sensing accuracy. The lens is therefore equipped for applications where optical stabilization is useful, including handheld filmmaking.
The GF32-90mm also includes OIS as part of its design.
Shared Design for Production Use
Fujifilm designed the GF19-35mm and GF32-90mm to share identical exterior dimensions, allowing accessories to be shared between the two lenses. Fujifilm also says their zoom and focus operation is standardized.
This can simplify lens changes when both are being used on the same production, because accessories can be configured around a consistent physical design. The lenses’ 0.8M gearing also provides compatibility with common filmmaking accessories designed around that gear standard.
However, the available specifications do not establish that zooming produces no change in center of gravity, nor do they establish that the lenses can universally be controlled by every wireless lens-control system. Those capabilities should therefore be evaluated according to the specific camera, controller and accessory configuration.
Weather-Resistant Construction
The two lenses carry Fujifilm’s WR designation and are designed with weather-resistant construction. This provides protection against dust and moisture under appropriate operating conditions, although it should not be interpreted as making the lenses immune to adverse environmental conditions.
A Two-Lens GFX Cinema Zoom Setup
The combination of the GF19-35mm and GF32-90mm gives GFX filmmakers a continuous practical zoom range from ultra-wide through short telephoto:
| Specification | GF19-35mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR | GF32-90mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR |
|---|---|---|
| Mount | G mount | G mount |
| Focal length | 19-35mm | 32-90mm |
| 35mm equivalent | Approx. 15-28mm | Approx. 25-71mm |
| Maximum transmission | T3.5 constant | T3.5 constant |
| Power zoom | Yes | Yes |
| Focus motor | Yes | Yes |
| Iris motor | Yes | Yes |
| OIS | Yes | Yes |
| Gear pitch | 0.8M | 0.8M |
| Weather resistant | Yes | Yes |
| Designed for filmmaking | Yes | Yes |
Specifications are based on Fujifilm’s published product information and the manufacturer’s announcements.
Pricing and Availability
Fujifilm announced the GF19-35mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR for release from late July 2026. Newsshooter reported a U.S. price of $5,699 and availability beginning July 23, 2026.
The GF32-90mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR was introduced at $5,999.95 USD, according to Fujifilm’s announcement.
These prices make the two lenses substantially less expensive than some specialized large-format cinema lens packages, but there is insufficient evidence to claim that they universally reduce production costs or eliminate the need for rental equipment. Their more defensible advantage is that they provide a dedicated G-mount power-zoom option within Fujifilm’s own GFX filmmaking ecosystem.
Conclusion
The FUJINON GF19-35mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR and GF32-90mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR form Fujifilm’s current pair of filmmaking-oriented GF power zooms. Together, they cover 19-90mm, maintain a constant T3.5 transmission value, provide motorized zoom operation and incorporate OIS.
Their compatibility with the GFX ETERNA 55 is particularly significant for filmmakers using Fujifilm’s large-format cinema platform. Rather than relying on unverified claims about image-circle performance, gimbal balance or cost savings, the documented specifications point to a more straightforward benefit: Fujifilm is building a dedicated set of motorized, stabilized zoom lenses around the GFX format, with shared physical dimensions and cinema-oriented controls.
The GF19-35mm extends that system into the ultra-wide range, while the GF32-90mm provides coverage from wide angle through short telephoto.
