Fujifilm Italy Says There Won’t be Any Lower Resolution GFX-RF and No Conversion Lenses for Fujifilm GFX100RF

Today I was listening to an older podcast with Fujifilm Italy about the Fujifilm GFX100RF.

It was an overall interesting podcast that I invite you to listen if you are fluent in Italian (link below).

But for the purpose of this article I would just like to highlight two things that have been said by the Italian Fujifilm manager.

  • no lower resolution Fujifilm GFX-RF coming
  • the X100VI has the Fujifilm WCL-X100 and TCL-X100 converision lenses, but Fujifilm won’t make any conversion lenses for the GFX100RF (the manager did sound absolute sure about this)

I can only hope that third parties will jump in and offer conversion lenses, just as they did with the Fujifilm X100VI, where we have various third party conversion lenses:

Sony RX1rIII vs Fujifilm GFX100RF vs X100VI Specs Comparison – GFX100RF Looking Like a Bargain and X100VI Like a Steal?

Sony has just launched the Sony RX1rIII fixed lens camera.

Now, for the full specs comparison (vs X100VI and GFX100RF) you can check out the dedicated BH comparison page. Frankly, I trust B&H more with reliable specs rather than asking AI to do that ;). But let me highlight some RX1rIII specs:

Sony RX1R III

  • $5,098
  • no IBIS and no OIS
  • 61 MP
  • 2.36m-Dot EVF
  • no joystick
  • has film looks called “film 1”, “film 2”, “film 3”
  • no mention of weather sealing

Well, at that price, it makes the Fujifilm GFX100RF look like a bargain, which also has no IBIS or OIS, but offers a 5.76m-Dot EVF, 100 megapixel, weather sealing, joystick and it costs $4,899.

And the Fujifilm X100VI looks like a steal, as you can get it for $1,599 and it comes with IBIS, 3.69m-Dot EVF, hybrid viewfinder, joystick, weather sealing (if used with filter)  and 40 megapixel.

The main advantages for the Sony RX1RIII are the autofocus and the f/2 lens, even though that makes the lens bigger which might be a negative for those, who look for ultimate portability.

In my view, the Sony RX1R III is a very welcome and much-needed addition to the fixed-lens camera market. Sony made a smart move by reviving this line, especially given the growing popularity of fixed-lens cameras. That said, I still believe Fujifilm offers the more refined and well-rounded option overall—though the Ricoh GR series remains a compelling and tempting alternative.

Fujifilm GFX100RF, X-M5 and X100VI Orders Resumed, but Demand is “Incredibly High”

Due to US tariff policy, Fujifilm stopped to take orders on the Fujiiflm GFX100RF, black Fujifilm X-M5 and the Fujifilm X100VI, as we reported here.

However, it looks like stores are now opening pre-orders again, since you can pre-order it again at most stores.

At the time of this post B&H Photo has still the “request assistance notice on all of these cameras, but that should be gone any moment now.

You can place your order other stores such as at Adorama for GFX100RF here, for black X-M5 here and for X100VI here and at Moment for GFX100RF here, X-M5 here and X100VI here.

Adorama expects to have stock for all of this gear in August 2025.

Moment writes for all of them:

As of June 2nd, 2025, orders for the Fujifilm GFX100RF have resumed. Due to incredibly high demand, there is still a significant Pre-order wait.

Don’t ask me how long this will last. I know some tariffs have been lowered significantly, and that definitely helped to give shipping a chance.

But I have no idea for how long this time window will remain open.

Used Fujifilm GFX100RF Appeared (at Reasonable Price) at BHphoto – but Elsewhere Highly Overpriced

Earlier today you could find the first second hand Fujifilm GFX100RF cameras available at BHphoto at a reasonable price.

Of course the units sold out instantly, so they are no longer available, but this was the price they were selling:

These were clearly returned cameras and B&H resells them for a fair price.

But not everybody simply returns their GFX100RF.

In fact, some just resell it highly overpriced online, for example for $7,000 as you can see from the screenshot here.

And this will only get worse in future, with the GFX100RF shipments put on pause due to tariffs (this is an official statement of Fujifilm made to PetaPixel, so I am not making this up. Fujifilm said that due to tariffs, certain models won’t be able for pre-order anymore as they are no longer shipped into USA).

Camera RawX Adds Fujifilm GFX100RF Support and Improved DR200/400 Support

Just a few days ago we told you about how Camera RawX added support for older Fujifilm RAF formats.

Well, there is now yet another update.

This time support for Fujifilm GFX100RF is added as well as improved DR200/400 support.

Camera Raw X is a little software that provides support for Quick Look and thumbnails generations for Fujifilm compressed RAW files in Finder that are not natively supported by macOS.

Camera RawX is available at the Apple store here.

Amazon Still Takes Fujifilm GFX100RF Pre-Orders (with Price Guarantee)

Amazon US is still taking pre-orders for the Fujifilm GFX100RF in both colors, black or silver, with pre-order price guarantee.

Since announcement, Amazon has only rarely opened and taken pre-orders for the Fujifilm GFX100RF, so they might have a shorter pre-order list compared to other big online retailers. So maybe they still have some more GFX100RF in the warehouse than pre-orders, hence they are still taking orders. If you want it in silver, also Adorama still takes orders.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Now Shipping in USA

It might seem nothing special, but given the circumstances it is quite a good news this time.

The Fujifilm GFX100RF started shipping in USA as reported over at the massive Fujifilm GFX group.

So our previous report that a first Fujifilm GFX100RF shipment reached US soil before the tariffs hit was accurate.

But that might well be the only good news. Pre-orders have basically stopped in USA as we reported here.

It remains to see if enough GFX100RF units arrived to the US to ship out at least all pre-orders. But I doubt that.

It’s Over: No More Preorders on Fujifilm GFX100RF and X-M5 in USA (for Now)

So it happened, exactly as we told you here: the pre-order options for the Fujifilm GFX100RF and for the black X-M5 are being removed from stores all over the US, as you can see for example also at the GFX100RF BHphoto page here and the X-M5 black BHphoto page here.

Some stores still accept pre-orders though, such as Adorama here and every now and then Amazon shortly opens GFX100RF pre-orders, too.

But also they will soon stop to take pre-orders.

I guess (not rumor) this is what will happen to all Fujifilm gear once current stock sells out. So if you are interested in any gear, it might not be a bad idea to buy it now before it’s all gone.

Cameras like the Fujifilm X-T5 are made in China, so currently subject to 145% tariffs. Other gear is made in Japan and the Philippines, which have a current tariff rate of 10%, at least until the 90 days deadline is over and after that they might go back to higher tariffs, if Japan and the Philippines are not able to make a deal with the current US administration that avoids this worst case scenario.

Anyway, the little good news: some Fujifilm GFX100RF units have reached US soil before the tariffs kicked in – as we reported here. However, it remains to see if there will be enough units to ship out all pre-orders.
