Yeah, that's an awesome lens. I just got into GFX AFTER the last $500 rebate but before tariffs. So that price is $100 less than what I payed for the 20-35mm earlier this year.
Nice to see you are getting a deal in the US.
In Canada unlike with some other camera manufacturers where they set prices based on US prices Fuji ships direct to Canada and not through US as Leica does and we are getting excellent pricing.
The current sale prices in Canada converted back to USD
I wish they would have included the 120 macro in the sale. Though as much as I wasn't a fan of the 80 initially after seeing several images there might be a spot for it in my kit.

Thanks! My Canon EF180mm Macro is the only lens so far that is extremely sharp with the FringerEF-GF adapter. Yes the 120 would be nice...
I wanted to try my EF24-70 1st but that just adds to my frustration if something goes haywire. And they give you the UV filter free also. I like to protect the glass on my lenses and I have never seen any IQ degredation using a good UV filter.
I ended up "buying it" but there is a Jewish holiday so I will wait until I can..tomorrow..
The 20-35 is amazing. Easily the best wide angle zoom I've ever used across any system.
For folks considering a gf 120, may I suggest a contax 120/4 instead (you'll need a fringer 645 to gfx adapter which is pricey). When you add all that up, you are probably in gf 120 used territory. I went through the same decision and chose the contax. Its a stunning lens on the gfx.
Yep, easy to love the 20-35. I really like that the MFD is only 14" so you can do close ups with big backgrounds. And of course Xpan crops are great with the 20-35. Also, I'll second that this Contax 120 macro is an incredible lens. I bought the Fringer for my other Contax lenses so easy enough to try it out. Really nice, old school manual optics.

I've used the Pentax, Mamiya and Contax 645 macros.
The Contax bests them all, though the Mamiya is very nearly as sharp as the Contax in the corners, the Zeiss wins the day with beautiful color rendition.

Dan,
You will love the 20-35, incredible IQ from this zoom.
That and the 17TSE are my most used lenses, then the 45-100.
I just ordered mine! It is too hard to pass up a $500 discount on a new lens and a free filter.
Appreciate your endorsement Michael and other members here!

Love the 20-35 it's become my most used lens for this system. Been thinking of picking up a 45-100 for a while... hmm...
I have that lens as it came with my GFX100s ii purchase. I love it!
Take advantage of those "Black Friday" sales. I bit the bullet because the cost was too good to pass up. My 20-35 just arrived from B&H.

Have fun Dan! Perfect timing to buy this lens while the weather is crappy and you can grab big scenes with big skies. Love it!
Today is beautiful and cool enough to walk around but can't Steve! .Rain tomorrow!
Wednesday in the 60's..Sunny then the hard cold comes in..Looks to be Wednesday to try lens out..I have a beautiful iron sculpture that a beauty but the area it sits in is way to busy with background. Even with the leaves off the trees, it just doesn't look good from 45-100mmm.
Another vote for the Contax 120/4. Remarkable lens, and a joy to use. I could never tolerate the GF120 noises.
