Matt Granger went hands on with the Fujifilm GFX100.
He starts by saying that he does not get any attention by Fujifilm, and was not invited to Japan for the launch. So he needed to wait for the Fujifilm GFX100 to be displayed at a photography fair, and all he could do is to talk to Fuji reps there and go only shortly hands on with the camera. So what he can share for now is only a quick first look.
Other major youtube channels also complaint about Fujifilm not flying them to exclusive events around the world (which is what Sony does all the time). If this is good or bad, I leave the judgement to you.
Back to Matt and his first impressions:
The Good
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.

BCNranking published the market shares changes between April 2018 to March 2019.
Sony sold less cameras but increased the sales value, meaning they are strong in the high end camera segment. All others brands are struggling.
And Fujifilm?
Well, don’t get fooled by the +19,4% increase in camera sales by Fujifilm. As BCN writes:
“Fujifilm’s sales were boosted by the strong sales of the digital version Cheki “instax SQUARE” series.”
So it’s once again Insax that keeps Fujifilm’s imaging division afloat. Just look at the top AmazonUS camera products ranking, and you will see tons of Instax products there.
I am afraid that, if we would get a separate report for Fujifilm’s digital imaging division, we would see rather negative figures also at Fujifilm.
