Fujifilm GFX

FujiRumors is the by far largest Fujifilm community. And as such, there are many Fujifilm GFX lovers and owners reading this blog, but also people, who do not own a GFX and are also not interested to purchase one.

So I thought… how can I make Fujifilm GFX roundups a nice experience for everybody, also for those who do not care about the Fujifilm GFX?

…. thinking…

… Got it!

There is one thing that unites us all: the image. Because we all love nice images, right?

This is why in every Fujifilm GFX roundup you will find a selection of wonderful images shared by GFX owners all over the world at our 14,000+ strong GFX facebook group.

So even if you don’t care about GFX, you might enjoy these roundups even just for the wonderful images shared here. And who cares if they have been taken with GFX or not. A nice image is a nice image, and something we will enjoy in any case.

And if you care about GFX, don’t forget to join the dedicated Fujifilm GFX facebook page.

Two Most Underrated Fujifilm Lenses :: Mitakon 35mmF0.95 Review :: Do You Need To Refocus After Zooming On X Lenses? (Fuji Lens Zone)

The Two Most Underrated Fuji Lenses at Finding Middle Earth Youtube

Fujinon Lenses (and third party / adapted)

Fellow Fuji X and G shooters,

I really get a terrific amount of emails with requests to be featured on FujiRumors and I want to make everybody happy. So I have decided to share more miXed zones than we were used in the past. This will allow me to keep roundups smaller (less links) and give you guys an overall better reading experience (I hope).

Also, I’m trying to organize miXed zones in a way that it makes sense, which is why lenses, GFX, X100F and occasionally also RAW converters, accessories and more get a a dedicated roundup.

It’s quite a lot of work for me, but I’m happy to invest my time to feature you all and to improve your reading experience.

As usual, I’m thankful for feedback… I really try to do my best, and in case you have suggestions, they are always welcome.

Now back to today’s roundup, which is dedicated to the heart of every system: the lenses!

In the past I’ve written a 3 articles that included the 5 Fujifilm lenses/cameras I think are the most unterrated in the Fujifilm world. Links below:

We also launched a “most underrated Fujifilm camera/lens” Poll… feel free to drop your vote :)

Fuji Guys Fujifilm X-T20 Vs. X-T2, Which One Should you Buy?

The Fuji Guys compare the Fujifilm X-T20 vs the X-T2.

If you are new to the Fujifilm world, and would like to get a basic overview over the main differences between these two cameras, then you might find this video useful.

Right at the beginning, Billy says that the Fujifilm X-T2 and X-T20 are their most popular cameras (but we know the Fujifilm X-E3 will change that :) )

The video was shot in 4K with the Fujifilm X-T20 (4K with half line skipping, so no full resolution, but also no crop). Oh, and Billy, keep up your fight with Japan for 4K in X-Pro2 :) . You can check out the full Fuji Guys video on youtube here.

TheCameraStoreTV Fujifilm X-T20 Review: “A Fantastic Winner. Beautiful, Capable and Affordable”

TheCameraStoreTV tested the Fujifilm X-T20 on the streets of Tokyo and the Fujifilm Taiwa factory!

Here are some excerpts… but check out the full field test at their youtube channel

  • Intuitive and fast to handle
  • very fast focussing
  • smaller and lighter than X-T2, which is why it makes it more appealing for travels
  • touch screen “fast enough”
  • delay when switching between EVF and LCD… could be faster
  • Great video, but 4K not as sharp as on X-T2 (NOTE: I remind you that the X-T20 uses “half line skipping ” in 4K, as opposed to the X-T2, which reads every line on the sensor. This is to prevent the smaller X-T20 to overheat. Fuji Guy Bully says here 4K with half line skipping is technically possible also for X-Pro2)
  • A fantastic winner, that is beautiful, capable and affordable

P.S.: Episode filmed on the Fujifilm X-T2.
P.P.S.: The Fujifilm GFX 50S episode will follow soon
P.P.P.S.: this blog post was written right after I left the eye doctor for a visit. I can hardly read what I wrote, so pardon me if you will find even more typos than usual… but for you guys, full dedication… I’ll write even half-blind :)

Latest FUJIFILM Earnings Report Says X-series, Lenses and Fujifilm GFX 50s Sell Strong. Imaging Solution “Substantial Increase in Income”

The full Fujifilm earnings report is finally out. And there are good news for X-series as well as GFX lovers. Here some excerpts.

“The business of electronic imaging achieved a sales growth due to positive sales of the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras such as FUJIFILM X-T2 and FUJIFILM X-T20 as well as their interchangeable lenses, and strong sales of the FUJIFILM GFX 50S, a medium-format mirrorless digital camera equipped with a large sized sensor, released in February.”

The sales of the Imaging Solutions segment decreased, due to the negative effect of the appreciation of the Japanese yen in the foreign exchange market However its income grew thanks to the sales expansion of instant photo systems and digital cameras which are high-end models as well as improved profitability in various business categories. On the operation base, the segment enjoyed increased sales and substantial increase in income.”

In another report, they also mention the Fujifilm X100F and X-A3, as well as the MK Cine lenses

“In the electronic imaging field of the optical device and electronic imaging business, overall sales increased due to strong sales in FUJIFILM X-T2 launched in September 2016, FUJIFILM X-A3 and interchangeable lenses.

In addition, FUJIFILM GFX 50S, a medium format mirrorless digital camera, adopting a big sensor (43.8mm by 32.9mm) which was released in February 2017, together with FUJIFILM X100F and FUJIFILM X-T20 as the latest models of X Series which enables the prominent photograph image quality through its unique technology in re-generating original colors, led the sales increase.

In the optical device field, though the sales of camera modules for use in smartphones decreased, the Group is seeking to expand global market share of the cinema lenses with FUJINON MK18-55mm T2.9 , relesased in Februaly 2017, which has gained high reputation from the market for its advanced optical performance, ultra-compact and lightweight design, and excellent cost performance.”

The latest accounting errors do not seem to have a particulary huge negative impact, as we already reported earlier today here.
