If you ever checked out the “Complete Overview over the available and upcoming Fuji X-Mount lenses” at our Fujifilm X Forum (made by FXF member Quincy), then you will already know that Kenko offers the Kenko 400mm f/8.0 mirror lens for Fujifilm X Mount.

However, the lens has in the meantime been removed from the Kenko page (you can see the Google cached page here).

Now it seems that a refresh is on the way. In fact, Nokishita reports that the Kenko 400mm F8 IIS Mirror Lens for various mounts (including Fujifilm X) will come shortly.

Fujifilm X/GFX Deals Ranked from Best to Worst Selling on FujiRumors

Share

First off let’s just say that over the last few weeks, the by far best selling Fujifilm item is the Fujifilm Instax Mini EVO.

But what about the current X and GFX deals? Which gear is selling best?

I’ve checked it and so far among the FujiRumors community the best selling deals are:

  1. Fujifilm X-T4 (save $200): BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / Focuscamera
  2. Fujinon XF 23mmF1.4 (save $200): BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / Focuscamera
  3. Fujifilm X-T3 body (save $400): BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / Focuscamera
  4. Fujinon XF 50mm F1.0 (save $200): BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / Focuscamera
  5. Fujifilm GFX 50R (save $1,500): BHphoto / Adorama / AmazonUS
  6. Fujifilm X-T30 (save $100): BHphoto / Adorama / AmazonUS / Focuscamera

IBIS matters apparently and so the X-T4 comes out on top, even though the price on the X-T3 is just ridiculously good.

I am surprised to see the XF23mm f/1.4 ranked so high. Not because it’s a bad lens that would not deserve to end up in many of our photography bags. On the contrary, the XF23/1.4 was a trusted workhorse at the wedding I photographed this summer and the images I got were fantastic. It’s just that in about 3 months the newer Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 R LM WR will hit the market, so I thought this would impact negatively on the deal. But it seems people are not hold off by that. It’s a great price for a really great lens.

As for the XF50mm f/1.0, which dominated the best selling lens 2020 ranking smashing the usually top selling Fujicron line, it lags behind the XF23mmF1.4 probably because the price of the XF50mmF1.0 was good to start with and therefore many people didn’t wait for any deal to get their sample.

The Fujifilm GFX50R suffers the competition of the brand new and also quite affordable Fujifilm GFX50SII, which comes with IBIS and a newer processor and makes it arguably the best pick to get into medium format.

Hard times also for the Fujifilm X-T30, dethroned as best selling mid-range Fujifilm by the excellent Fujifilm X-S10.

TTArtisan 23mm f/1.4 Reviews

Share

We just reported how the new TTArtisan 23mm f/1.4 is now available for pre-order also at AmazonUS here. Some of you guys asked in the comments how this lens performs, so I thought a mini-roundup about this lens could be something appreciated by the FR-communty.

There is so far not much coverage, but the few there is will give you quite an accurate idea on what to expect from this lens. So make sure to check out the reviews down below.

I think the silver version could look terribly good in combination with my silver X-T4.

Fujifilm GFX: One of 2021 Most Praised Systems Gets a Roundup – GFX100S Adventure Film, GF110/2 vs GF80/1.7, GFX50SII and More

Share

The year is ending, the internet is flooded by “best and worst” articles and videos, and at some point of the ranking the Fujifilm GFX system always comes out on the very top positions.

It happened for example with DPRTV here (who gave tremendous praise to the Fujifilm GFX100S) and with BH Explora here, who ranked both, the GFX100S and the new GFX50SII in the top 10 mirrorless cameras list for 2021.

Now, nobody can predict the future in the long term. So if the GFX system will keep up rising or not remains an open question whose outcome will depend on many things.

But if we look back on how it all started with the GFX system and where the system is now, then we can surely say that Fujifilm has set some solid fundaments on which they could potentially build up something very special.

So, in order to honor the big GFX year that we just had, we celebrate today with a dedicated GFX roundup that you can find below.
