Fujifilm GFX100RF Coming with Fuji’s Most Brilliant (and Irrational) Dial

If I should pick my all time favorite dial on Fujifilm cameras, then it would be the combined shutter/ISO dial we find on the Fujifilm X100VI and X-Pro3 for example.

In fact, I would be willing to pay more for a Fujifilm X-E5, just to get that dial also there.

Now, I don’t think (speculation, not rumor) that Fujifilm will put that dial also on the X-E5, because the combined shutter/ISO dial is complicated to manufacture and hence raises the price of the camera. And I guess Fujifilm does not want to make the X-E5 too expensive, nor make it too complicated (and therefore much slower) to manufacture.

But while I am not so optimistic about the X-E5 having that dial (even though it is the most desired one as we see here), today I can tell you that the combined shutter/ISO dial will be implemented also on the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100RF.

In fact, the Fujifilm GFX100RF might be the one Fujifilm camera with the most dedicated manual controls ever made, as in addition to the combined shutter/ISO dial, it will also feature:

I understand that dedicated manual controls aren’t for everyone. However, if you’re someone (like me) who enjoys having as many dials and levers as possible, if that’s what adds to your enjoyment and sparks your inspiration, then the GFX100RF could be an outstanding choice.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 41 Coming Next

One thing we can be sure about in 2025: Fujifilm will keep releasing lots of Instax cameras, which Fujifilm called their “new goldmine“. In fact, Instax keeps selling like hot cakes, with 2024 reaching new all time record sales.

The first Instax product of 2025 was the Instax Wide EVO, but according to our trusted sources, we should also get the successor to the Fujifilm Instax Mini 40, the Fujifilm Mini 41, next (no precise time indication given).

The Fujifilm Instax Mini 40 is one of the best looking Instax cameras and we will see if Fujifilm will make it even better with the next iteration, the Instax Mini 41.

While I am mostly a “Wide” Instax aficionado, I do also own the Mini format, because that’s just an ideal size if you want to print something small enough to fit in a wallet, hence perfect also to give away as a little always carry around present/memory to family and friends.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Additional Layout Details

An anonymous source, who has once before shared accurate info with us (luckily it decided to use a nickname, so I can keep track of the rumors, THANKS), has now shared additional info regarding the layout of the Fujifilm GFX100RF.

First off: it confirms that the quick render we shared here in regards to the aspect ratio dial is quite accurate.

But it also shared this:

  • left to the aspect ratio dial there will be the S, C, M selector
  • right to the aspect ratio dial there will be the AEL AFL button
  • the crop zoom lever would be better defined as a “toggle lever”, so it’s something between a lever and a dial (as far as I understand it looks more like the ON/OFF switch, but you can toggle it right or left, and then it springs back to the center)
  • width and depth are similar in dimensions to the Fujfilm X-Pro3, but it is a bit higher than the X-Pro3

That’s it for now.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Rumors

Fujifilm GFX Eterna Might Come Early June (Cine Gear Expo) for about 15-20K USD

DISCLAIMER: this information comes from an anonymous source, so please take it with a grain of salt. Once I can confirm (or not) any of these details, I will share the updates here on FujiRumors.

In late 2024 Fujifilm made the development announcement for the Fujifilm GFX Eterna film camera along with a new dedicated film-oriented lens, the Fujinon GF32-90mmF3.5.

Fujifilm told us that the camera would be announced in 2025, and now we have possibly more information about it.

In fact, an anonymous source reached out to us and told us that the camera would be announced for the Cine Gear Expo 2025 (June 5-8).

The source also said it would cost between 15 to 20K USD, which makes it significantly more affordable than for example the Sony Burano 8K cine camera but also much more expensive than something like the Canon C400 6K cine camera.

I guess it was to expect that the price would be somewhere in between the Canon C400 and the Sony Burano, but I was hoping it would be around 12K to make it a truly aggressive entry in the cine camera market by Fujifilm.

And yet, we have to keep in mind that the Fujifilm GFX Eterna will feature a sensor that is about 70% larger than the one on the Sony Burano and the Canon C400. And the sensor is the most expensive part of the camera.

For example, the old 50MP sensor cost about 2,000 USD at the time when the GFX50R was launched. The new 100MP should be even more expensive than that (around 3K I hear, but I am verifying this).

Leica S Mount Lenses Autofocus Adapter for Fujifilm GFX

Above you can see a prototype what is said to be the first Leica S to Fujifilm GFX autofocus adapter, as shared by the Japanese website asobinet.

It’s said to be in development by a Chinese manufacturer.

Someone showed me a prototype adapter. (You can see the original color of the metal)
GFX from Leica S. He says it will be AF.

Since it is a prototype, it is quite early in the entire product development, and it is impossible to confirm whether the AF will work in the end. I think we can wait a little longer about this matter.

Let’s hope this adapter will work great and come soon to the market.
