RUMOR: Fujifilm GFX Eterna Full Announcement in September

Back in 2024 Fujifilm has announced the development of the following gear

Since then Fujifilm has released several tidbits about the Fujifilm GFX Eterna at the various trade shows.

But when will we get the full announcement?

Well, back in January 2025 an anonymous source told us it could happen June 5-8 at the Cine Gear Expo.

I did warn you to take it with a grain of salt, and I did tell you I’d give you an update on this as soon as I can.

Well…. now I can give you an update. :)

According to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm GFX Eterna should be announced in September.

We are talking of full announcement, with full specs, pre-orders and all that stuff.

But this does not mean we won’t get more details soon, and Cine Gear Expo could be a good opportunity to showcase more of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX Eterna.

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.

Fujifilm X half Owner’s Manual Available

You can now access the owners manual for the Fujifilm X half in html format here. At the moment the PDF is not available, but once available I’ll update this article.

The Fujifilm X half introduces a host of new hardware and software features, so it’s probably a good idea to thoroughly read the owner’s manual.

BREAKING: Fujifilm XF 23mm F2.8 Pancake Lens Coming June 12

When Fujifilm showed us the shape of a possible XF23mm pancake lens, they had two version, one a bit longer and one ultra compact.

Well, I guess we can now say they went for the ultra compact version.

In fact, according to our trusted sources, the new pancake lens coming June 12 will be the Fujinon XF 23mm f/2.8.

As a very happy owner of the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR, I think it is a great move to keep the lens as compact as possible and give it an f/2.8 aperture.

But feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
