We have pressed Fujifilm to give us the XF33mmF1.0 R WR, and Fujifilm listened: the dream lens of many X shooters will hit the market earliest 1.5 years from now, in 2020.
According to a recent poll we launched, 72% of FujiRumors readers are “interested” to buy this lens. 13% don’t know and only 15% are not interested at all.

Fujifilm GFX 50R Sensor
Recently I was talking to sources, asking how moch the Fujifilm GFX 50R will cost.
I didn’t get an answer yet (no final price for the Fujifilm GFX 50R has been set yet), but I got to hear an interesting tidbit.
The 50 megapixel medium format sensor of the Fujifilm GFX alone costs $2,000!
This comes from trusted source, hence you don’t need to take any grain of salt.
With that said, it seems clear to me that it will be hard for Fujifilm to price the Fujifilm GFX 50R below $4,000, since you have to build also an entire camera around that $2,000 sensor and ship it all over the world, pay the labor cost etc.
Could this be the first real life image of the Fujifilm GFX 50 R? (thanks for sharing)
If yes, then here is what we can say:
rangefinder style camera
EVF only
diopter adjustment like on X-Pro2 and not on X-E3
makes a compact impression
in this image, there is probably a flash trigger attached to the hot shoe
We remind you that the Fujifilm GFX 50 R will be launched around photokina (which takes place between 26 to 29 September). It will be rangefinder styled medium format camera and if this image is real, with EVF only, hence more similar to the Fujifilm X-E3 than to the Fujifilm X-Pro3.
The final Fujifilm GFX 50 R price has not yet been set, I guess also because Fujifilm wants to see at what price tag the Full Frame Canon EOS R is. But in any case it will be significantly less than Fujiilm GFX 50S
But already now I feel pretty confident to claim, that the Fujiflm GFX 50R will look much better than the Fujifilm GFX 50S.
