These are Your Top X and GFX Camera Wishes for 2023 – and They are Quite Clear on What You Want!

I’ve looked at the results of your future X camera wish and future GFX camera wish.

Here they are… and what they tell us.

X series

  1. X-Pro4 with 40MP
  2. X100V with 40MP
  3. X-Pro4 with 26MP stacked

GFX gear

  1. GFX100R with 102 MP BSI stacked sensor
  2. GFX100T with 102 MP BSI stacked sensor (the X-T styled GFX concept)
  3. GFX100S with 102 MP BSI stacked sensor

Conclusion for X series

There is a tendency to prefer more megapixel over more speed. And as a Fujifilm X-T5 owner myself, I can understand why: the X-T5 is plenty of fast enough for most of us thanks to the brand new processor. Plus, the 40MP sensor gives us the best dynamic range on any X series camera.

But most importantly, the list is dominated by rangefinder cameras.

So, after a year full of DSLR styled cameras (X-T5, X-H2 and X-H2s), people are hungry to see something happening on the rangefinder front… and I am totally with you guys!

Conclusion for GFX series

Stacked sensor makes the top of the list. Which means that contrary to the X series, for the GFX series people desire more speed rather than more resolution.

Novoflex Automatic Bellows (BAL-FUG) and Automatic Reversing Ring (FUG-RETRO) for Fujifilm GFX

Novoflex recently added an Automatic Bellows (BAL-FUG), as well as an Automatic Reversing Ring (FUG-RETRO) for Fujifilm GFX to their program. Both, the Auto Bellows and the Auto Reversing Ring allow for full electronic passthrough, meaning the camera and lenses are still able to “talk” to each other as if the lens would be connected directly to the camera. Above you can see images of both products.

The Auto Bellows is quite intereting in combination with the GF120mmF4 R LM OIS WR Macro lens. This lens offers a magnification factor of 1:2 when used directly on the camera. Putting the new Auto Bellows inbetween, at full bellows extension you’ll reach a whopping 3x life size magnification at 13cm working distance (front lens element – subject).

Here are some other examples:
Fujifilm GF 50mm f/3.5R LM WR
achievable magnifcation factors: 1.5 – 4.4:1
Fujifilm GF 32-64mm f/4.0 R LM WR
achievable magnifcation factors: 1.2 – 4:1 (in reverse position on the bellows)
Fujifilm GF 45-100mm f/4.0 R LM OIS WR
achievable magnifcation factors: 0.59 – 3.6:1

The Auto Reversing Ring FUG-RETRO has a 77mm filter thread by default and is best used with zoom lenses e.g. Example: with a Fujifilm GF 45-100mm f/4.0 R LM OIS WR in reverse position directly on the camera, a magnification factor of 1.1:1 at 100mm focal length up to 1.9:1 at 45mm focal length can be achieved. Lenses having filter threads other than 77mm can be used with stepping rings. 

As is usual with NOVOFLEX-parts, the Auto Reversing can be attached to the other universal bellows BALPRO T/S with Tilt/Shift movements, as well as the CASTBAL-PRO Bellows attachment to form full-fledged Auto Bellows again.

SIMPLY the BEST: Messi and Ronaldo Meet the Fujifilm GFX100S of Annie Leibovitz

Apparently Annie Leibovitz is not really following the photography forums and certain gear youtubers, otherwise she would know that the Fujifilm GFX100S is a completely useless tool because:

Limited by her gear, Annie stucks with minor gigs like photographing the two most iconic soccer players of the last 15 years, Ronaldo and Messi, for an insignificant company like Louis Vuitton in the context of a negligable event like the FIFA World Cup.

If only she would listen to certain big YouTubers, she would get rid of her GFX gear and finally be able to shine artistically by recording selfie videos in a basement.

The day will come, when wisdom will finally illumiate her. Until then, you can see a video of her working with GFX, Messi and Ronaldo as well as the final image below.

And btw… the gear Annie uses, is now heavily discounted.

NOTE: this is a satirical post… we don’t take life too seriously on weekends, right? ;) And thanks to our Greek friends at pttl.gr who spotted the news and shared it with us.

New Fujifilm X and GFX Holiday Savings Include Rebate on GFX100S – But is a Successor Really About to Come?

I can see why this speculation is coming up:

  • it’s the first time ever we have a significant rebate the stellar Fujifilm GFX100S
  • traditionally Fujifilm launched its most important cameras between January and March (GFX100S, X100V, X-T4, just to name a few), because that’s the last quarter of the Japanese fiscal year and Fujifilm wants to push sales with its biggest hits before showing up with the final figures in front of investors

Given the two reasons above, the speculations came up that we are likely going to see a Fujifilm GFX100S successor in the next few months, latest by March 2023.

And since I also got this question via email a lot today, here is what I can say so far.

I have received zero rumors about a Fujifilm GFX100S successors.

And not only that.

I have also zero hints, whispers, indications, nothing of nothing at all.

So we have two options now:

  1. the Fujifilm GFX100S successor is Fuji’s best kept secret of all times
  2. we won’t get a GFX100S successor anytime soon and certainly not within March 2023

Not a rumor, but based on 10+ years of rumor blogging, I’d say that in 99,9% of the cases option 2 is the correct one and everybody thinking the GFX100S successor is imminent will be terribly disappointed.
