When I initially began to integrate Flashpoint XPLOR H1200 into my workflow, HSS, portability and the long lasting lithium batteries were key factors in my decision to switch from Broncolor to Flashpoint/Godox.
With the release of the 600 PRO earlier this year, I began to add more units, enough to be able to light for any conceivable studio or location requirements. I may use as many as 20 lights for a setup, or just one, but for sure I like to always have a good number of spares available.
On a recent shoot with singer/actress Becky G for the cover of GALORE magazine, and another shoot for VOGUE, I needed to have various set ups ready at once. I used only a single 600 PRO inside a modified BRONCOLOR FLOOTER S for a series of dramatic sky shots in HSS mode, and also a late afternoon pool shot, but I needed 20 units to light a series of colorful, 2000s pop inspired studio shots.
Fujifilm GFX
This will be a rather huge Fujifilm GFX 50S (and lenses) roundup… so let’s start.
Drew wrote me: “I was commissioned by the Daily Telegraph to shoot this Gigapixel image of Trooping the colour to celebrate the queens birthday. I thought It might be of interest. It was was shot on the Fujifilm GFX 50S with the 250mm lens. It is a truly amazing combination – perfectly suited to gigapixel imagery”. You can see the 2.3 gigapixel image made up of more than 100 50MP files at www.telegraph.co.uk
Fujifilm GFX 50S
Steelsring is about to release their Nikon F to Fujifilm GFX mount smart adapter. You can see the latest protoype in the image above. On their website here, they write:
Main features:
FX mount version adapter is in design phase, maybe with better performance of PDAF and auto aperture control version for your choice.
Note:
Support to AF-D type lens will be very limited, EXIF may works, but no AF absolutely.
Steelsring has a new firmware for the EF-FX and EF-GFX adapters.
For both EF/FX and EF/GFX, followings were updated:

GFX 50s 110 mm F2
The Fujifilm GFX 50S keeps up enjoying very positive reviews all over the web. Here is a selection of them, which includes reviews about the brand new GF 250mm F4.
Reviews are nice and good, but probably the best advertising for the quality of the Fujifilm GFX 50S are the tons of stellar images shared at our Fujiflm GFX facebook group. It is astonishing with which consistency the GFX group members share fantastic images.
So if you are looking for fantastic images… now you know where to find them! :)
And for those who want 100% GFX news and rumors only, we have the Fujiflm GFX facebook page.

You might remember how here on FujiRumors we leaked Fujifilm’s interal GF lens roadmap already back in April 2017 (see screenshot above)!
But time passed, and there is more to share and to update… so let’s do it today.
We broke the rumor of a crazy fast GF 80mm F1.4 (!!!) medium format lens back in June 2017.
However, keep in mind that a Fujifilm manager said here that they need 2 years to discuss, develop and finally make a camera and even more than 2 years in case of lenses.
So if in June 2017, when we shared the GF 80mmF1.4 rumor, the discussions about the GF80mmF1.4 just started, then now, 1 year later, IF Fujifilm really decided to go ahead with it, it will take them well over 1 year to come out with it.
Again… if Fujifilm decided to make it all.
But even if Fujifilm decided to make it, you should not expect any GF 80mmF1.4 lens at Photokina 2018, and I’d personally would not expect it before 2020 anyway.
Don’t worry, there will be lots of other great gear to enjoy at Photokina 2018, such as the Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm GF 50R.
According to our sources, we must add also a tilt shift lens for the GF system to the list of rumored lenses shared back in April 2017, so the updated and complete rumored GF lens list is the following:
Fujifilm plans to release 2/3 GF lenses a year, and since we already got the GF250mmF4 last month, we can expect a maximum of two more lenses in 2018.
Now, for 2018, the Fujinon GF 35mmF2.8 should be sure.
So now it’s your turn guys. Let us know which one you would prefer between the GF20-36, GF-100-200 and the tilt shift lens for 2018.

Fujifilm just released firmware 3.10 for Fujifilm GFX 50S, along with the new features guide for Fujifilm GFX 50S.
They also announced the new dates for Fujifilm X-T2, X-H1 and X-Pro2 firmware.

There is some confusion right now, when the Fujifilm GFX 50R will be announced. June, July, August… simply every date leaks all over the web, except for the correct one ;)
So we confirm again: the Fujifilm GFX 50R will be announced at photokina, or shortly before. And given that Photokina takes place end of September 2018…
Given that the announcement is not imminent, Fujifilm has not yet set a price on it, so at this stage everybody can claim and dream what they want. The only thing we know, is that it will be cheaper than the Fujifilm GFX 50S.
