Fujifilm Price Increase Confirmed – Unshipped Orders at Old Prices Could Be Canceled August 1st

We previously reported that Fujifilm will raise prices on August 1. Now we have the first confirmation: the U.S. store Capture Integration writes:

Fujifilm will increase all products on August 1st. Importantly, all pre-existing orders will be canceled at the older prices. NO CURRENT orders will be honored at pre-tariff pricing. Price increases range from 7-11%. Most notably…”

FujiFilm GFX100 II up 11%
FujiFilm GFX1000 RF up 10%
FujiFilm GFX100S II up 8%
GF Lenses all up 7-9%

Not mentioned is X series gear, which will go up too.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We don’t yet know if this policy applies only to Capture Integration, or if other retailers like B&H Photo will also refuse to honor current prices for gear ordered now but shipping after August 1.

RECOMMENDATION: See it in stock? Buy it now. If not, order anyway and hope the store honors current pricing. Worst case? They cancel your order.

DON’T LOSE HOPE: If you can’t find gear in stock at B&H or similar stores, check Amazon—many official Fujifilm retailers also sell through Amazon, so you might find items there that are out of stock elsewhere. To see which stores are authorized Fujifilm dealers, check the official Fujifilm USA list here.

LIST OF PRICE INCREASES

X Cameras – New Price Starting August 1

GFX cameras – New Price Starting August 1

X Lenses – New Price Starting August 1

GF Lenses – New Price Starting August 1

We have the new price for 9 GF lenses. The other 11 lenses will get also a price increase according to Capture Integration.

Fujiinon XF23mm f/2.8 R WR: The Perfect Pancake Lens Destined to Become an Instant Classic

Today we have a couple of reviews about the Fujinon XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR.

The French website phototrend is very enthusiastic about it and ends up recommending it “without any hesitation” and also Luca Petralia is sure that this lens will become an instant classic, as it is optically great (even better than the XF27mmF2.8).

Overall it seems that Fujifilm has crafted a wonderful little lens.

The only problem?

If you want just the lens, you’ll have to wait for December 2025 for it to ship. The only way to get it earlier is to purchase it bundled with the Fujifilm X-E5 (or get it second hand from those, who’ll sell the lens only once they got it shipped with their X-E5).

And quite frankly, if the very high pre-orders of the Fujifilm X-E5 bundles are confirmed, then I’d not be surprised if the lens only shipping start would be pushed back even further.

With that said, below are the reviews.

Fujifilm X-T6 with Geolocation :: X-Pro4 Thumb Winder :: Recipe Sharing via QR Code :: New Lens Hood for XF150-600 – FR-Readers Wishlist Corner

This is Part 2 of the FR-readers wishlist corner. You can read Part 1 here.

by Craig

[NOTE: here on FujiRumors we investigated the idea if the X-Pro4 should feature a thumb winder similar to the one of the Fujifilm X half. FR-reader Craig added the following question to it.]

Patrick, would it be possible to add a survey that says: “Would you like a REAL, MECHANICAL thumb winder, like the one on the Epson RD-1? NOT a multi-functional. But one that is actually necessary to take the next photo on the X-Pro4 (or whatever they will name it). OR, perhaps, on a specialty Fuji rangefinder. I’d buy it if they did it right like Epson.

may I suggest a post about a topic for a post that may be not so important, but nevertheless bothers me since the introduction of the Fuji XF 150-600 mm zoom lens?

It’s that ugly black, cheap plastic lens hood that was delivered with that lens. It seems that Fuji included a new designed lens hood with the XF 500 – and wouldn’t it be nice if they would offer an accessory lens hood in the same design for the XF 150-600? Fuji offers square metal premium lens hoods for their XF 18 / 23 /33 lenses as an alternative – so why not a better premium hood for the XF 150-600?
