First Batch of Fujifilm GFX100RF Slips Past US Tariffs, But Trouble May Follow
A FR-reader reached out to Adorama and asked about his Fujifilm GFX100RF pre-order, which he placed just minutes after announcement.
The reply he got is the following:
The cameras are in stock, and the order has cleared verification. At this time, I don’t see any issues. We’ll begin processing orders on April 21st, following the Passover holiday. You’ll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information as soon as your order ships.
So, it sounds like some Fujifilm GFX100RF have made it into US soil ahead of the US tariffs and shipping of the first pre-orders will proceed smoothly.
But I also confirm that Fujifilm plans to suspend orders for Fujifilm GFX100RF, along with suspension for X-M5 black and X100VI orders.
If you were interested in the Fujifilm GFX100RF, then maybe it could be good idea to pre-order it now, hoping that one of the stores has more stock than pre-orders, hence you’ll get it at the regular price now.
Same goes for the Fujifilm X-M5 black, which can also be still pre-ordered at BHphoto as well as at Adorama here and will ship end of April, too.

SG-image AF 25mm F1.8 for Fujfilm X Coming Soon
Late last year SG-image launched their first autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount, the SG-image AF 55mm f/1.8.
Now they will soon expand their offering by launching the SG-image AF 25mm F1.8.
Some specs as shared by the Chinese weibo account 独立摄影师联合会 here.
- 32mm long

Just another lens from China without aperture ring… exactly what we needed ;). But hey, at least it comes with some fancy colors.
