4th of July deals
Top Cameras
Only by a hair, but it was enough: the Fujifilm GFX100 sold better (pre-orders included) than the Fujifilm X-T3.
We wrote here, that the request for the GFX100 is higher than Fujifilm expected, and some say even triples Fujifilm’s forecast. Keep in mind that the GFX100 is brand new, whereas the X-T3 is on the market since 10 months already.
The Fujifilm X100F will not get a successor in 2019, hence it continues to fall into the hands of more and more photographers.
Out of the list are cameras like the Fujifilm X-T30 and Fujifilm X-H1, as well as the Fujifilm X-Pro2, which will get successor, the Fujifilm X-Pro3, this year.
Top XF Lenses
The deals on these lenses are running out. You have time until July 6 to get them discounted. Check out all Fujifilm deals here.
Top X Mount Third Party Lenses
Native Fujinon lenses are still selling stronger, but these third party lenses are coming terribly close to them. There is a market amongst the Fuji X community for third party glass. And especially the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 autofocus lens is stable at the top positions since its launch.
The Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 and 7Artisans 60mm f/2.8 Macro kicked out of the ranking the Samyang 12mm f/2 and the Meike Neewer 35mm f/1.2.

The Fujifilm GFX100 is experiencing a shipping shortage, but there are some, who are lucky enough to already have one in their hands.
If seems like all Fujifilm GFX100 owners are also members of our galactic Fujifilm GFX group. So here is some of the feedback they shared there.

Fujifilm’s deal world is Upside-Down.
In fact, we are more likely used to see Fujifilm extending deals, but this time (and for the first time), Fujifilm has shortened the duration of the deals, which now expire July 6 instead of July 27.

It’s the same old story:
New camera comes, FujiRumors covers its launch, people not interested in that particular camera complain that FR covers that camera.
That’s why, back at the GFX50 launch, I wrote the article, “Dear FR-readers, we have to talk“.
The article was extremely effective, since, using hardcore numbers, it showed how readers perception can be so different from the truth.
But writing that article cost me a lot of time. And I just returned from an 8 hour drive from my holiday in Croatia, and I am exhausted, also because I was on holiday with the SonyAlphaRumors guy, which lead to some epic fanboy fights discussions and photowalks.
So I’ll just say this:
But who cares. I mean who cares about how much time and effort I put into this. It’s not your business.
Blogging on FR is my passion since 8 years now, and I do it with the joy to share the Fuji passion with all of you.
I ask you just one thing: please, just do not complain, when, in coincidence with the launch of a massive camera like the Fujifilm GFX100, I share a bit more GFX news than usual.
You don’t like it? Just skip the news.
With all that said, of course I do not forget about Fuji’s APS-C system.
And so I thought to dedicated this roundup to the most important part of our beloved APS-C system: the XF lenses.
If you want, down below are about 30 links and videos covering all kind of XF lenses.
Fujifilm has published a first Fujifilm GFX100 development story article.
They start with discussing the definition of the sensor, medium format or large format.
There is not much point in having a discussion as to how to call the format of 44 x 33mm. We tend to seek for the historical ground from the days of silver halide film; 6 x 4.5 is medium format, and 4 x 5 inch or larger is large format, but the explanation does not have any suggestion other than historical legitimacy.
in terms of resolution, the current 44 x 33mm format surpasses that of the 6 x 4.5 and even the 8 x 10. There still is the unique color reproduction of the silver halide films, but if the medium and the large format is designed for large prints, then there is no point in seeking historical ground to call what format GFX is. Because with the GFX100, we can have the prints even larger.
The core part of the article is the comparison between Fujifilm GFX100 and GFX50 in terms of AF speed.
The major change from X-Pro1 to X-Pro2 was the installation of phase detection AF. The same goes for the GFX100 when compared to the change from GFX 50S / 50R. Furthermore, the AF algorithm of the GFX100 is same as that of the X-T3, meaning not only is it fast, but is now also tougher against in low light conditions, high frequency subjects and low contrast subjects.
To put simply, the GFX100 has the agility like the X-T3 and achieves the descriptive power like the 8×10. There have never been a system like this before. This is a whole new experience.
The lenses, that have the biggest benefit in terms of AF speed thanks to the phase detection AF pixels on the GFX100 are the GF63mm and GF45mm.

And then it became clear to me: Fujifilm medium format has a glorious future ahead. :)
Just two thing before we start:
2 minutes reading time (or just 15 seconds if you jump directly to the conclusions ;) )
In 2016, Fujifilm Managers Makoto Oishi and Fuji Guy Billy said in this interesting interview:
When the global shutter sensor comes to be, it will be a big change just to the whole camera industry, taking away all the limitations of current electronic shutters. […]
If the GFX has global shutter, so we can imagine something new. A smaller body.
So let’s talk about it.
Adorama is having a special deal on Fujifilm GFX100 with Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster lens bundles.
