Possible Fujinon GF Roadmap Leaked: GF 250/4, GF 35/2.8, GF 20-36 and GF 100-200

Fujifilm GFX Image Roundup

Hold on! Don’t say “Yet another GFX article” :) You can skip it if you want, and read the other two articles shared today, that are not (or not exclusively) GFX centric, like the X-E3 rumor here or the miXed zone here.

This post is just here to enjoy a tiny fraction out of the terrific amount of images shared over at our 11,000+ members strong GFX facebook group from all around the world. And the fact that they have been taken with GFX, is just secondary, compared to the beauty of the shots.

There is talent in the group, and I have the pleasure to share it with you :). So today, let’s see Madagascar, Italy, Russia and more through the eye of the GFX (also with a lot of adapted lenses)

Believe me, it costs me a ton of time to make these “image roundups”. But I am highly motivated to invest this time into it, because I know you guys appreciate that your images get the maximum visibility here on FujiRumors, and also because it’s a welcome break from the usual huge news/rumors stream here on FR.

But images are just one thing. The 11,000+ members of the group are also extremely helpful, ready to give you advice and feedback. You don’t believe me? Well, then you better join and check it out by yourself ;)

Fujinon GF 110mm F2 WR LM and Fujifilm INSTAX Square Announcement April 19, 2017

Fujinon GF 110mm F2 WR LM
Fujinon GF 110mm F2 WR LM

Fujinon GF 110mm F2 WR LM

The Fujinon GF 110mm F2 WR LM will be announced on April 19. Just two days after my birthday :) .

Earlier this year, the estimated price of the 3 remaining GF lenses, including the Fujinon GF 110mm F2 WR LM, surfaced on the web. I reported about it already in the past here, but here is the rumored price again:

  • GF23mmF4 = $2599
  • GF45mmF2.8 = $1699
  • GF110mmF2 = $2799

Please take them with a grain of salt, not only because they could be wrong, but also because the price leaked a few months ago… enough time for Fujifilm to change the price tag.

My personal guess though, is that you should not be surprised if the GF110mm costs more than $2,800.

Along with the Fujinon GF 110mm F2 WR LM, Fujifilm should also announce the new Instax Square cameras, the already leaked Instax Square SQ and Instax Square SQ10.

The Instax Square SQ10 will be a hybrid digital/film camera. All details here.

Fujifilm GFX 50s: “$10,000 for Body + 2 Lenses? It’s Totally F***ing Worth!” :: Aurora Timelapse with the GFX

This Fujifilm GFX 50s Roundup is brought to you entirely by the Fujifilm GFX facebook group, biggest source of inspiration for FujiRumors (and Co :) )

Fujifilm GFX 50s Review

Sebastian Lee (check out his instagram) is a very active Fujifilm GFX facebook group member, who shared many awesome images on the group and I had the pleasure to feature here on FujiRumors already.

Well, he now completed his Fujifilm GFX review, and it’s a great real world review that includes also wonderful images. And btw, he uses also a Sony A7rII (oh, well, he sold it now :) ) and could also test the Hasselblad X1D.

You can read his review at sebimagery here. Here an excerpt:

“But I must tell you…there is something about it [the look of the images]. […] I’m just very pleased with the images coming out of the GFX. Now keep in mind my day to day camera is a 42MP Sony A7R2. This is only a 8MP bump going to the GFX. But there’s just (enter W. Shatner voice) some….thing about the images. Hell…maybe there is some magic after all?

[…]

Maybe I’m just becoming a better photographer….haha…nah it’s gotta be magic. Maybe it’s just a illusion in my head. I simply don’t care…I’m really enjoying this camera and right now it looks like I’m going to be buying one. I took the first step and sold my A7R2 last week.

Are my photos any better? Nope I don’t think so. Are they a little sharper…yeah…the details are better and sharper by a little bit. I look at 200% and 300% shots and I’m constantly impressed with the images and I simply enjoy shooting with it. But it’s not twice as good….

[…] for portraits, macro/detail and land/cityscapes…this thing is a beast!

[…] And yeah, I get it, $10,000 for a body and two lenses is a significant investment and again…that magic question to most…”is it worth it?”. That’s up to you…for this dude….yeah…it’s totally f***ing worth it.”

There is much more to read and to see at sebimagery here. Check out Sebastian’s instagram here.

Fujifilm GFX Technologies #7 (Viewfinder) :: Fujifilm’s MF Cameras GFX50s, GX617, TX-2 and GFX Vs. H5X

Fujifilm’s Medium Format Cameras: GFX50s, GX617, TX-2 at Annie Barton youtube

Fuji GFX-50S vs. $25K Medium Format H5X Camera at lensprotogo:

“In conclusion, this new Fuji will certainly open the medium format door for some photographers who couldn’t quite stomach the typical price range of medium format digital backs–and in addition there are some really fun aspects that the Fuji brings to the table. The low light functionality, it’s smaller and lighter form factor, and the ability to share images socially while on the job are some of my favorite perks. If this came at a huge deficit image wise I might look past it, but it was able to stand up for itself in detail/color/quality.”

Fujifilm just published the 7th episode of their GFX technologies series, called “The Development of the Ultimate Finder”:

“The finder’s view is very pleasing to the photographer’s eye. Generally speaking, if you go as high as 0.85x magnification ratio, aberrations will be very noticeable. Thanks to the luxurious lens construction, the EVF achieves minimal distortion and color aberration to deliver clear and sharp images.”

“Guys, I Got a Serious Problem: After Testing two Days the GFX, How Can I Go Back Shooting with my Sony A7r2?” (GFX Member Aziz)

Aziz Nasuti wrote on the Fujifilm GFX facebook page here:

“Guys, I got a serious problem here: after shooting two days with GFX (testing) how I go back and shoot with my Sony A7r2 :( “

As to expect, the comment section is running hot, and Aziz explains:

“I am 100% honest with you, not paid by Fuji. This camera is absolutely the best camera that I ever had. It is amazing in low light and boosting shadows and recovering the highlights. Now it doesn’t offer the best lens combination but it will come with the time.

[…] the GFX is much richer in depth and really deliver cleaner images.”
