Fujifilm UK manger Andreas Georghiades returns to the Fujicast postcast.
It’s an almost 1 hour podcast, and if you are in a hurry and can’t listen it all, I provide a summary of everything the manager says, so you can get it all in under 5 minutes.
The first week of Fujifilm Spring savings is over.
I told you what I consider the top 3 deals in this article.
And here are the top three Fujifilm items purchased by FR-readers.
You can see the full list of Fujifilm Spring Savings here.

Fujifilm USA has just launched huge savings on X/GFX cameras and lenses. You can see the full list of deals here and down below.
But I wanted to highlight 3 deals, that are, in my opinion, the best ones this time around.
Deal Price: $499 for the body / $799 with XF18-55 / $749 with XF23mmF2
As an owner of a lovely X-E3, I can safely say that this is a fantastic camera… IF… you are looking for a really compact interchangeable lens camera system. Sleek and clean design, great performance and frankly just good looking. Don’t buy it if you are left eye dominant (unless you have a Voldemort nose, as Trenton would say), but if you are right eye dominant (like me), then I tell you: this is the camera you want to take with you on travels. Strongest competitor: Fujifilm X-T20.
Deal Price: GFX50R body $3,499 / GF 50mmF3.5 $499
Maybe some of you might argue that this should be considered the best deal of the Fujifilm Spring Sales. Maybe you are right, but there is a very scientific reason why it has to rank second: FujiRumors is an X-E fanboy ;).
With that said, with the Fujifilm GFX50R you get a relatively compact and high resolution medium format body with a 70% larger sensor than full frame for the same price of a full frame Sony A7rIV. Add to this a little prime lens that is capable of resolving 100+ megapixel images (the GF50mmF3.5) for just $499 and I’d understand if you’d tell me that this is, indeed, the best deal of this round.
Deal Price: $4,999 (including 1.4x teleconverter)
You know when all the vloggers moaned that there are no “full frame equivalent fast” APS-C lenses“? Well, the Fujinon XF200mmF2 is one of those lenses that made them all happy. And moreover, it performs incredibly well. Matt Granger said it is worth all of its $6,000. But also many others where blown away.
Sure, a lens like this is condemned to be and remain a niche lens. But now, at this price, it’s great value for the money. If you belong to that niche, now it’s a great time to get it.
Deal Price: $1,399
With a hefty $500 rebate, this is a great deal on the longest Fujinon X mount lens you can get.

You might remember, how back at the awesome Fujifilm X summit in February, the Japanese Fujifilm manager said there will be 4 new lenses coming within the next 12 months.
One of them is the Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0.
FujiRumors investigated, and told you already a few weeks ago, that another one will be the Fujinon XF70-300mm f/4-5.6.
And now, thanks to a trusted source, we can tell you that the remaining two lenses will be Mark II versions of existing lenses.
So, from now to March 2021 we will get:
Whenever I can, I will let you know, which one will be updated (I honestly do not know at this point in time). But don’t miss it when it happens, and follow FujiRumors.

Here is a quick 3-news lens roundup.
According to rumors shared at SonyAlphaRumors, the launch of the Venus Optics Laowa Argus f/0.95, which FujiRumors reported about it here, has been postponed to 2021.
As FujiRumors exclusively told you, the Argus line will include the widest f/0.95 X mount lens on the market.
Nokishita spotted the Lensbaby Velvet 28mm f/2.8 at kellards. The lens will be available also for Fujifilm X Mount. You can see an image above.
Here is the press release via 43rumors.
Lensbaby Velvet 28 is a 28mm, f/2.5 all-metal, hand-crafted art lens that captures tack-sharp detail beneath a layer of radiant glow. Velvet 28 also features exceptional 1:2 macro capabilities with a close focus distance of 2” from the front of the lens. Built with landscape, adventure, travel, and street photographers & videographers in mind, the Velvet 28 offers Lensbaby’s popular variable glow effects at a wide 28mm focal length. Lensbaby’s Velvet effect lenses add an ethereal mood to scenes. This unique, in-camera creative effect elevates imagery with depth, dimension and soulful expression. The Velvet 28’s close-focus capabilities, combined with effects varying from impressionistic at bright apertures to just a touch of velvety smoothness at darker apertures, provides a set of visual tools that will help creative shooters expand their vision of the world. One of Velvet 28’s key features is its 1:2 macro capability. It is an ideal in-camera effects lens for photographers & videographers who like to shoot wide, while also offering the versatility to capture closer details. The lens allows image makers to move seamlessly from shooting street scenes or capturing landscape, adventure & travel images to capturing details such as a subject’s clothing or wildflower blooms and butterflies in an alpine meadow.

Cinema5D shared a sample video shot the Sirui 50mm X-Mount F1.8 Anamorphic 1.33X mounted on a Fujifilm X-T4. You can see the video below.
Now the lens is listed at Adorama here.
You can also find a blog post about it on Cinema5D here, where they say:
It’s a remarkable achievement not only for the price. The lens is very sharp, even when shooting wide open at f/1.8, which was totally unexpected for me. It’s well built from metal, and I can see this show up on a lot of low-budget anamorphic productions everywhere. Right now it’s a shame that there isn’t another focal length available, I would love to see a full set of these out now, but we are hoping that they will come.
