Fujinon GF80mmF1.7 Technical Analysis, DOF Calculators, Comparison with GF110mmF2 and More

Fujinon GF80mm f/1.7 (vs GF110mmF2)

The Fujinon GF80mmF1.7 is currently not easy to find. A low stock is available at Adorama here and also at AmazonUS here.

And yet, slowly but surely, it is falling in the hands of photographers, who drop their (very positive) reviews on the various online sales platforms:

But also Jim Kasson is covering the Fujinon GF80mmF1.7 brilliantly in his technical tests, which we will share down below.

I did play around with the Fujinon GF80mmF1.7 too (and so did my son) when I met my friend, who sold all his Nikon Z mirrorless gear for the GFX system. So far he does not regret it at all and he is totally thrilled about his switch.

The Big Availability Check for Fujifilm GFX100S, GF80mmF1.7, X-E4, XF70-300mm, XF27mmF2.8 R WR and Accessories

In these days I get many emails asking when the latest Fujifilm gear will be in stock.

I frankly don’t know the answer. I know the GFX100S pre-orders are beyond Fujifilm’s most forbidden dreams, hence it might take long for Fujifilm to deliver, but I don’t have information about the rest of the gear.

So what I can do, is to check when different stores expect to have the latest gear available and what is eventually already in stock.

Fujifilm GFX100S

BHphoto says it expects to have it available in April. More precise indications come from Moment, who give the date “April 2”. AmazonUS says it expects to ship in 2 to 5 weeks. No other indications at other stores.

So, overall, I think we can be optimistic that in April the shipping-bottleneck might be finally solved. Unless you guys keep pre-ordering it :)

Fujinon GF80mmF1.7:

Adorama says it’s on the way, and expects to have it available in a few days. AmazonUS expects it in 2 to 4 weeks. BHphoto gives no indication, whereas Moment gives April 2 as date.

Overall, it seems that we can expect stock already by the end of the month and a more substantial stock in the first half of April.

Fujifilm X-E4:

The Fujifilm X-E4 is mostly available as long as you look for the body only version. The kit version with the XF27mmF2.8 R WR is not available and AmazonUS gives even 1 to 2 months for that combo to be in stock.

Fujinon XF70-300mmF4-5.6:

AmazonUS expects stock on April 5. Adorama says new fresh samples are now on the way to their warehouse, hence it’s only a matter of days. Moment expects stock on March 31. No indication at BHphoto.

So by the end of March and latest early April we might find the lens more widely available.

Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR:

Just as with the GFX100S, also for the XF27mmF2.8 R WR Fujifilm has announced delivery delays. It’s not widely available yet, but you can find some samples at Adorama here. AmazonUS expects stock in 1 to 54 weeks. BHphoto does not give any time frame on when it might have it available. Moment expects stock in early April.

Accessories for X-E4 and GFX100S

MHG-GFX S hand grip for Fujifilm GFX100S

At the time of this post there a 4 samples available at AmazonUS here. It’s not yet available at BHphoto here and at Adorama here.

FUJIFILM BLC-XE4 Leather Case + MHG-XE4 Hand Grip + TR-XE4 Thumb Rest

The leather case for the Fujifilm X-E4 is currently in stock at AmazonUS here. It’s not yet available at BHphoto here and Adorama here.

As for the MHG-XE4 hand grip, AmazonUS says it expects availability in 1 or 2 days, whereas no indication on when they expect stock is given by BHphoto here and Adorama here.

The last X-E4 accessory is the TR-XE4 thumb rest. At the time of this post, there are 2 available at AmazonUS here. Not yet available at BHphoto here and Adorama here.

Final Release Dates for Fujifilm GFX100S, GF80mmF1.7, Fujifilm X-E4, XF70-300mm and XF27mmF2.8 R WR Published

We all were a bit worried after Fujifilm told us about the high GFX1000S pre-orders, that there could be delays when it comes to shipping.

But the good news is that Fujifilm Japan published the official release date (for Japanese market) for each item announced back on January 27, and it looks like they will all start shipping as planed.

In Japan and EU the GFX100S should ship in late February (02/25), whereas according to major US retailers, we will have to wait until March 11 for the GFX100S shipment in the US.

Release February 25

Release March 11

Release March 18

The Latest and Greatest: Fujifilm X-E4, XF70-300mm, GFX100S and GF80mmF1.7 Mini-Roundup

Let’s start the week with a mini-roundup dedicated to the latest and greatest Fujifilm gear.

Missing in the roundup list is the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR. But do we really need reviews here? I have already put my XF27mmF2.8 for sale on the facebook market as I will replace it with the new version as soon as I can. I don’t care about the reviews. The optics are the same, which means the image quality is fantastic for such a small lens. All I want is an aperture ring, which is enough for me to “upgrade”.

As for sales on FujiRumors, the best selling gear is the Fujifilm GFX100S, followed by the X-E4 (all time best selling X-E camera on FR), the GF80mmF1.7 and finally its basically a tie between the XF70-300mm and XF27mmF2.8 R WR.
