Cameras that take both
Both lenses fit every GFX body with interchangeable lenses — 7 in our list.
Which one to choose
Choose the Fujinon GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR if
- your subject is far away. It magnifies 1.65× more, and walking closer is not always an option.
- you want more in the frame. It starts at 25 mm equivalent, against 43 mm on the other lens — interiors, landscapes and groups at close range.
- your camera body is not stabilised. Of these two, only this lens has optical stabilisation.
Choose the Fujinon GF55mmF1.7 R WR if
- low light is the priority. At f/1.7 it lets in 2.1 stops more than T3.5 — faster shutter speeds indoors and softer backgrounds.
- you photograph small things up close. It reaches 0.17× magnification, compared with 0.06×.
- weight matters to you. It is 1370 g lighter, roughly 64% less to carry.
Everything above comes from published specifications. How sharp each lens is, how quickly it focuses and what its pictures look like are not in any spec sheet, so this comparison does not try to judge them.
Common questions

The Fujinon GF55mmF1.7 R WR, by 1370 g — about 64% less.
Which is better in low light, the Fujinon GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR or the Fujinon GF55mmF1.7 R WR?
The Fujinon GF55mmF1.7 R WR. At f/1.7 against T3.5 it gathers 2.1 stops more light, which matters without flash and for background blur. Stabilisation can offset some of that for still subjects, but not for moving ones.
