Fujifilm Shares Image of Fujifilm GFX100RF

When announcing the Fujifilm X summit on March 20 at 5AM New York time, Fujifilm has also shared the first “official” image of the Fujifilm GFX100RF.

The original images is underexposed, so you get it brightened up for you here on FujiRumors. We can see:

  • lens looks rather compact
  • the crop lever under the shutter button
  • there is still the viewfinder selector, but the Fujifilm GFX100RF has an EVF only, so it likely has another function.

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.

If you want to get a clear view of the top and back of the Fujifilm GFX100RF, check out this article.

EXCLUSIVE: First Image of Fujifilm GFX100RF

So guys, thanks to our trusted sources (THANKS!!!) here you have it: the first image of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100RF.

We can see:

  • the dedicated aspect ratio dial (a very different solution compared to the aspect ratio switch on the Panasonic LX-100)
  • no D-Pad
  • Fujifilm’s most brilliant (and most irrational) dial, the combined shutter/ISO dial
  • a rather large rear command dial
  • the usual things (S,C,M switch, joystick, marked and unmarked buttons

So far so good if you ask me, but I am curious the read what you think about it.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Rumors

Stay Tuned: First Image of Fujifilm GFX100RF Coming Today… and See the Aspect Ratio Dial NOW!

Stay tuned guys… today you’ll get the first image of the Fujifilm GFX100RF.

But one tidbit just to set things right:

Some said that the aspect ratio switch is nothing new, as it is used already by other cameras like this one.

But in the image above you can see that Fujifilm adopted a radically different solution by giving it a dedicated dial which also means that very likely you’ll be able to select many more aspect ratio options that the ones we get for example with the Panasonic LX-100.

But we have more to talk about very soon… so stay tuned ;).

Sigma CEO Dreams of Making Lenses for GFX, but Currently Not Planed (Maybe in Distant Future)

Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki has expressed his wish to make medium format lenses in the past already.

Now in an interview with the French website phototrend, he reiterated his wish by saying:

  • We don’t have a project that goes in this direction (making GFX glass) at the moment
  • But, to be honest, it’s one of my dreams to make a lens for medium format, because there are so many passionate photographers in this field
  • So it’s in my wish list. But for now, we don’t have a plan for that, maybe in the distant future

Of course, the main focus is on the Sigma BF, but they also discuss the new lenses, including the Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7, about which the Sigma CEO shares his thoughts:

  • To be completely honest, I’m not a big user of all-in-one versatile zooms. But the demand is huge. If you go to Kyoto, you will see that many people use this type of lens. So we decided to produce it, because our customers were waiting for it.

That’s it as far as the Fujifilm related part goes.

I guess ultimately it is a matter of market share: if the GFX system will grow strong enough (and Fujifilm allows it), Sigma will deliver, just as they did with the X mount system.
