- Element and group count (8 in 8), closest focus 0.39 m and the φ95 mm attachment thread are from Japanese Wikipedia's Fujifilm product list (Fujinon GX M 80mm F5.6). English Wikipedia's table agrees on 8/8 and 95 mm and adds f/5.6–45, 1,100 g, 101 × 107 × 113 mm and a list price of ¥190,000, calling it a 37mm f/2.6 in 35mm terms.
- 101 × 107 × 113 mm is the lens on the system's standard board; 113 mm is taken as the length and no diameter is given. Blade count is not published.
- The ¥190,000 list price carries no year in English Wikipedia's table and is not indexed.
- Launch year: no source dates the 80mm itself; 1986 is the system's launch, and English Wikipedia says nine unnamed lenses were shown at the 1987 PMA show.
How to tell them apart
- Eight single elements in eight groups — every element air-spaced — on the standard 101 × 107 mm board, with a 95 mm front thread rather than the system's usual 82 mm (English Wikipedia; Japanese Wikipedia)
- No shutter-speed ring; aperture lever on the lens, Seiko shutter timed by the body
- Front ring engraved EBC FUJINON GX 80mm 1:5.6, or GX M from 1997
- Listing trap: 80mm is the normal focal length of most 6×6 and 645 systems, and Fuji's own GFX has a GF 80mm; the GX680 lens is on a square electronic board with no shutter ring
EBC Fujinon GX 80mm f/5.6 (plain GX marking):
- Front ring reads EBC FUJINON GX 80mm 1:5.6 with no M; no exposure counter chip
EBC Fujinon GX M 80mm f/5.6 (counter chip, from 1997):
- GX M on the front ring; electronic exposure counter read by the GX680III with Film Holder III (English Wikipedia)
- Same optics, barrel, 95 mm thread and board as the GX version
- EBC Fujinon GX 80mm f/5.6 (plain GX marking): The pre-1997 marking. No source dates the 80mm's own introduction; 1986 is the system's launch year. Works on all four bodies.
- EBC Fujinon GX M 80mm f/5.6 (counter chip, from 1997): Introduced with the GX680III in December 1997. English Wikipedia's table gives one set of figures for 'GX (M)'; the counter is the only documented difference.

History
The 80mm f/5.6 sits between the GX680’s two true wide-angles and its 100mm f/4, a 37mm equivalent on the 6×8 frame by English Wikipedia’s table. Its construction is unusual for the line: eight elements in eight groups, every one air-spaced, where the 50mm and 65mm cement some of theirs. It weighs 1,100 g on the system’s standard 101 × 107 mm board, takes 95 mm filters like the 65mm, focuses on the bellows to 0.39 m and stops down to f/45. The Seiko leaf shutter in the lens is timed by the body from 8 seconds to 1/400 and cocked automatically, with flash at every speed.
Like every GX lens it was designed to cover an 8 × 8 cm circle that holds when the front standard is moved, the requirement Fujifilm’s own history traces to the revolving back, and no source reports any limit on movements with it. Two markings exist: the plain GX original and the GX M version introduced with the GX680III in December 1997, which adds an electronic exposure counter the III can display. Optics and barrel are the same and both fit all four bodies. No source dates the 80mm’s own introduction, so it is dated from the system’s launch in 1986; English Wikipedia’s ¥190,000 list price has no year.
No review of the 80mm on its own was found; the GX680 literature concentrates on the 50mm, the 100mm and the 135mm standard lens, and the forum remarks that exist say only that it is good. For a buyer the lens is less sought than the 50mm and cheaper than the 65mm on Fuji’s list, and the same checks apply: the contacts on the board, the shutter, and the front glass. The 80 mm extension rail with which it is sometimes confused in listings is a focusing accessory introduced with the GX680II, not a lens.
This history is AI-written, from the sources listed at the foot of the page. Where the record is silent it says so rather than filling the gap — but no human wrote these sentences.
