Fujifilm GFX 50R: Concepts of the Most Affordable Digital Medium Format Camera Ever!

Share

It’s no secret anymore that Fujifilm is about to launch the Fujifilm GFX 50R, a much cheaper and rangefinder alike version of the Fujifilm GFX 50S.

Since we shared the first rumor back in December and the latest rumor just last week, our terrific Fujifilm GFX facebook group members not only started dreaming about it, but also designed some concepts.

One of them is Mario C. who made 2 Fujifilm GFX 50R mock-ups (and GFX 100R) I will share in this article. He writes:

“Two ideas for a future Fujifilm GRX. The 100RD rangefinder or the 100XD viewfinder. Both with large LCD touch screen and DIGITAL LCD Dials. Price $2995. Would you like any of these cameras to become a reality? Which one? The RD or the XD?Digital LCD dials are fully programmable. Rotate to change the value. Push and rotate to change the control. Push once to go to a favorite value, push twice to go to another favorite… Etc.”

And remember, tomorrow, April 12, there will be a NON STOP LIVE BLOGGING here on FujiRumors, covering the launch of the Fujinon GF250mmF4 (& more). Stay tuned… and be ready to be blown away by its image quality ;)

Note: a mate of mine asked what Helicon Focus did, which RAW processor I used, and why I wasn’t clear about anything in the above video. I’m new to YouTube. Lots to learn. Many thanks for the constructive criticism. The RAW processors I used were Lightroom and XTransformer. Helicon Focus and Affinity Photo handledthe compositing.

Before we get started, Patrick has been kind enough to allow me to publish the following articles on Fuji Rumors.

Prior to purchasing the GFX I was using a Hasselblad digital back duo (CFV-50 and CFV-50c) attached to a Linhof M679cs via a sliding back. Great camera, stability like Gibraltar, amazing results. The backs were great, but accurately focusing a digital back on a slider or in live view was slow, fraught with computer-back-and-forthing, and in the end not worth it. The GFX’s EVF, LCD, and wireless tethering, as sub-optimal as they can be, are giant usability steps up from the system I previously used.

Fujifilm X100F Firmware Details Leaked… and Don’t Panic Regarding the Fujifilm X-T20 Firmware Update

Share

2 days ago here on FujiRumors we broke the news, that 6 Fujifilm cameras will get a firmware update soon. Included in our list was also the Fujifilm X100F.

The day after, nokishita leaked the details of the updates, but the Fujifilm X100F was not included in the list.

Just now, though, nokishita updated the list with the X100F firmware. Here are the details of the update

X100F Firmware Ver.2.10 -due April, 2018
Enlarged and customizable indicators or information
The upgrade allows users to enlarge indicators and information in the viewfinder and/or LCD monitor. This upgrade will also enable users to customize the location of where the information is shown on the display.

The X100F firmware can be considered minor, especially compared to the other upcoming massive updates. But Fujifilm notoriously never covers the X100 line with lots of Kaizen love, even though it was the original X100 to start all the “Kaizen-buzz” back in the days.

But with the growing number of camera models, Fujifilm had to make decisions which cameras they can keep up covering with Kaizen love, and which one not… and the X100 line had to be sacrificed.

If you want to see what the firmware update details of the Fujifilm GFX 50S, X-E3, X-T2, X-Pro2 and X-H1, check out this post.

Also, I notice many X-T20 owners now panic, because the X-T20 is not mentioned in the list. But keep in mind these are only announcements of upcoming firmware updates. And the one for the X-T20 has already been announced (and it’s massive!). That’s why it is not included in the list.

The X-T20 firmware will come, according to Fujifilm, in early April… so it can’t be that long anymore ;)

Fujinon GF 250mm F4 to Cost “Around $3,500” and First Hands-On Reports

Share

We now have the first report of the Fujinon GF 250mm F4 shared at our GFX facebook group here.

The information was told to our group member Gulliermo (check out his instagram and his website guillermojackson.art) during a photography fair by a Fuji rep.

The price of the Fujinon GF 250mm F4 should be “around 3,500” and with 1.4x teleconverter “around $4,000“.

First impressions:

“Performance is top notch, on camera and zooming in it’s as sharp as the 110mm, super sharp! AF speed was very good, same as the 120mm macro and there wasn’t many light available.

The image stabilizer is impressive, I was shooting iso1600 1/40 of a sec f4 handheld with amazing results”

The discussion just started… make sure to follow it here.
