These are the last hours before the second Fujifilm price increase.

Fujifilm has officially declared to various news outlets that on August 30 there will be further price increases. According to information we have gathered, the list of price increases should be the one you can see below.

Interestingly, some Fujifilm X and GFX gear on Amazon is still listed at the pre–August 1 pricing. While certain items have already sold out, a few are still available at the original lower price—at least for now.

  • XF 8mmF3.5 – $869 ($899 regular price – $799 pre-tariffs)
  • XF 16mmF2.8 – 11% discount ($399 instead of $449)
  • XF70-300mm* – $799 (currently $899 – was $799 pre-tariff)
    *note: the XF70-300 is sold by third party sellers
  • GF120mmF4* – $2,699 ($2,949 regular price – $2,699 pre-tariffs)
    *note: the GF120mm is sold by third party sellers

Still resisting at Amazon is also the anti-deal :)

Fringer Pentax 645 – GFX Smart AF Adapter Released

Share

The Fringer Pentax  645 – GFX Smart AF adapter has been released.

It supports adapting Pentax 645 lenses to Fujifilm GFX cameras, while retaining autofocus and auto-aperture functions. Unlike adapting EF or F mount lenses, since P645 lenses were designed for medium format, there will be no dark corner issues at all.

Key Features

  • Pentax 645 FA/DFA/DA lenses: Autofocus and auto aperture
  • Pentax 645 A/LS lenses: Manual focus and auto aperture
  • Exif recording
  • IBIS support

You can preorder it at the Fringer website here.

Laowa AF 200mm f/2.0 Sample Images, But it’s Unsure if Fujifilm GFX Version Will Have Autofocus

Share

The new Laowa 200mm f/2.0 lens release is set for October 1st! Matt Granger just published a teaser about his upcoming review. Below you can see more images of the lens.

Initially there will be E/Z/EF mount version, but it was rumored that the X and GFX version will follow later on.

As far as the Fujifilm versions goes, we now have further details thanks to the Japanese website asobinet (where you can also see an AF video demo).

There is consideration for a GFX mount-only version, but the possibility of autofocus implementation is undecided.

I do hope the Laowa 200mmF2. will be the first third party G mount lens with autofocus.

  • Full Frame Autofocus lens
  • Fn button, AF/MF switch, focus limiter
  • drop in filters
  • weight is 1,6kg a
  • Coming for E/Z/EF mount
  • Coming soon, price unkown

Also included in the images below is the MFT chart for the Laowa 200mmF2 as shared at the Chinese social media account 独立摄影师联合会 here.

My Fujifilm X-E5 is Shipping… and These Are the 3 Film Simulation Recipes I Will You Put on the Dedicated Dial (for Now)

Share

I want to be ready for the day my Fujifilm X-E5 arrives.

So I did my homework and I read the X-E5 user manual.

And one thing I have to do, is to decide which film simulation recipes to share first on the dedicated film simulation dial.

Well, I think I’ve made up my mind and here they are

Of course this is just the combo I decided to use to start with. Over time I will make some changes and adjustments. Very likely one recipe will have to make space for a black and white recipe. But for now these will be the first three I dial onto my X-E5 dial.

But what about you? If you got yourself an X-E5, which three film simulation recipes will you store on the film simulation dial?

Feel free to list your top 3 in the comments.
