There has never been a camera that combines such stunning image quality, resolution, dynamic range, autofocus performance, overall handling, and ergonomics like the new Fujifilm GFX 100 does.

Previous medium format digital camera systems have been able to deliver very high-resolution images for a good 10 years now, but have sorely been lacking in handling and speed, particularly when it comes to autofocus performance, and especially with the limitation of only one central autofocus point.

The GFX 100 on the other hand, with its 425 auto focus points tightly spread all across the sensor, delivers blazing fast focus without ever having to re-compose.

With its swivel adapter, the high-resolution EVF can be shifted into various positions, which makes hand-holding over extended time much easier, and the 3-way tilt function of the LCD is a great help for comfortable composing whether the camera is low on the ground or high up overhead.

In early 2017, Fujifilm released the GFX 100’s predecessor, the GFX 50S, that already offered many of these unique features, and I have worked with it exclusively for the past 29 months.

FUJINON Premista PL Mount Cine Lenses Cover Fujifilm GFX sensor

Michael Bulbenko from Fujifilm said in an interview (video below) that the recently introduced PL-mount (and super expensive) Fujinon Premista 28-100mm T2.9 and Fujinon Premista 80-250mm T2.9-3.5 cover the Fujifilm GFX100 sensor.

Hence, you can use them with a PL to G mount adapter.

The Fujifilm manager also said, that they do not plan to release a G mount version of their Fujinon Premista lenses.

While talking about the Fujifilm GFX100 color reproduction, Michael says: “as weired as it sounds, we are a film company, so we know how to get colors right“. I like that!

FujiRumors already told you that the same guy, who developed the Velvia film, has been involved also in the Velvia digital film simulation development.

Fujifilm X-Pro3, X-H2, X100V, Panasonic Full Frame Fiasco, XF33mm F1.0, GFX 100 – Breaking May FR-Rumors and Top 15 Articles

Top of the Posts

May was an extremely busy month, with 79 articles written in 31 days, the GFX100 live blogging and… my marriage (no, can’t buy any new gear for a while with what that cost ;).)

In May, FujiRumors has also delivered several breaking rumors about the following Fujifilm cameras:

  • Fujifilm X-Pro3
  • Fujifilm X-H2
  • Fujifilm X100V (or X200)

I consider all rumors 100% accurate.

It’s not our style to mislead and clickbait people with fake made up rumors, sadly a practice that is going strong these days. FR is well fueld with reliable rumors, we do not need to go down the desperate fake rumor road.

And I tell you more…

I now slow down a few days to recover, but then  I’ll be back with rumors, especially with one that might surprise you positively. You can dream now and I’ll tell you later, once I have green light from the source :).

Back to us, and to the very busy month of May.

So many things happened, that I thought to list the top 15 read articles for May down below, so you can catch up in case you missed them.

Top Selling Fujifilm X/GFX Deals for May – Last Week to Save up to $1,000

Top Selling Fujifilm Deals for May

These are your the top selling Fujifilm deals on FujiRumors. They are not representative for overall Fujifilm sales.

Top Software

  1. Capture One Pro 12 (save 50%)
  2. Adobe Creative Cloud
  3. Luminar

Capture One keeps up rocking and selling like hot cakes. No one comes even close to that. Adobe made it into the ranking thanks to a good deal running in May.

Top Lenses

  1. XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8
  2. XF 50mm f/2
  3. XF 23mm f/1.4

A revival for the good old XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8, a lens I own and love, and I am sure people who purchased it will be happy. However, my sample is not used that much anymore, since the XF 18-135mm joined my lens line-up.

Top Third Party Lenses

  1. Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 AF
  2. Samyang 12mm f/2
  3. Meike Neewer 35mm F1.2

The Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X enjoyed a positive start amongst the FujiRumors community. Second the evergreen Samyang 12mm f/2.Third is the ultra-cheap Meike Neewer 35mm f/1.2.

Top Cameras

  1. Fujifilm X-T3
  2. Fujifilm X100F
  3. Fujifilm X-Pro2

Back in March, the new low retail price on Fujifilm X-H1 pushed Fuji’s only IBIS X series camera on the top of ranking. Sadly it was just a short moment of glory. It has now fallen back. The Fujifilm X-T3 takes back the throne, followed by the Fujifilm X100F and X-Pro2.

Top GFX Gear

The price is attractive, and the Fujifilm GFX 50R sales continue better than the Fujifilm GFX 50S sales, despite the latter having a new lower retail price.

Fujifilm GFX100 Coming

DO NOT MISS IT: Mega GFX100 Announcement Live-Blogging on FujiRumors.com on May 23!!!

The Fujifilm GFX100 will be announced on May 23 and I have no doubt that it will blow us away in terms of image quality.

Beta testers all around the world are part of our Fujifilm GFX facebook group, and ready to publish images there as soon as the embargo is lifted. Join the group, to be there when this happens.

And yet, you should not wait for May 23 to join the group, since current Fujifilm GFX50R and GFX50S owners are hyperactive in our group and share an astonishing amount of stellar images. A small selection can be found down below.

Honestly, looking at what Fujifilm GFX 50R/S owners deliver already today, the Fujifilm GFX100 will have a tough challenge: raise the image quality by a margin, that people will feel it’s worth to spend $9,995 for Fujifilm GFX 100 (price leaked by Fuji manager here) instead of $3,999 for GFX 50R or $5,499 for GFX 50S.

I doubt that will be case.

On the other hand, the Fujifilm GFX100 is not only about better image quality.

The 100 megapixel GFX will raise the medium format bar in several other aspects, too: it will offer 4K video, IBIS, 50% faster autofocus, a monumental EVF (that attached on GFX 50 will not give any benfit, sadly), a faster processor and more.

At the end of the day, the combination of all this might justify the $9,995 price tag.

But soon we will be able to make up our own mind.

All you have to do, is to follow the non-stop FujiRumors live blogging on May 23. So make sure to join us on Facebook, Flipboard, Youtube, Instagram, RSS-feed and Twitter

And in the meantime, enjoy the selection of GFX images below.
