Nope, this is no leak or rumor. I’ve simply received a newsletter by Really Right Stuff, sharing with all subscribers the first images of several L-plates, including the ones for the Fujifilm GFX and X100F.
UPDATE: Pages now live with images
We already reported in the past that they are available for pre-order, but here are the links again:

Portrait-test with the GF120. I was absolutely confused about getting the GF120 or the new GF110, but I came to the conclusion that the 120 with it’s OIS is more useful for me. I hate tripods and the focus-distance of the 110 can be a restriction. I’ve tested it yesterday and I was able to get non-blurry captures with 1/30 (and some with 1/15) – so I can say that the OIS is amazing. This image is the result of a short studio-test. No flash was used, just modeling light!
