Fujinon GF30mm f/3.5: Product Description and More Images Leaked
The Fujinon GF30mmF3.5 is Coming and We Celebrate Its Arrival with a Stunning GF Lenses Image Roundup
As you know, the upcoming Fujinon GF30mm f/3.5 specs have already leaked here.
We wait for nokishita to leak the images in the next few days, and as soon as it happens, I’ll report about it on FujiRumors.
Of course there will be a live blogging. When exactly? Well… let’s say you should just trust my sixth sense. I will start the live blog 0.01 seconds after the lens has been announced, don’t worry about that at all. ;)
The Fujinon GF 30mm f/3.5 equals to a much loved focal length among Fujifilm APS-C X-shooters, the 16mm (in terms of primes, there are the XF16mm f/1.4, and the compact XF16mm f/2.8).
If we want to be precise, the Fujinon GF30mm f/3.5, converted in other formats, is about:
- Full Frame: 23mm f/2.8
- APS-C: 16mm f/1.8
To me, that’s a very nice focal length.
The GF30mm f/3.5 also seems to be well balanced in terms of price and size, as you can see from the leaks here and from the size comparison with the Fujinon GF23mm f/4 and the Fujinon GF 45mm f/2.8 we made in this post.
The Advantage of GF lenses
Fujinon GF lenses are about the top lenses you can get on the market.
And in fact, one crucial advantage of medium format GF lenses over full frame or APS-C lenses, is that they can be designed for much higher resolution than lenses for smaller formats.
This is why, if sharp images with tons of detail is what you are looking for, then the best and most future proof system you can buy into (without breaking the bank), is the GFX system.
I am sure the new Fujinon GF30mm f/3.5 will keep the excellent G mount tradition, and deliver spectacular results, too.
Image Roundup
And in order to celebrate the arrival of the Fujinon GF30mm f/3.5, I thought I share a rounudp of GFX images, with some selected photographs taken by members of our massive Fujifilm GFX facebook group.
The roundup includes many Fujinon G mount lenses, but not only that.
The GFX system is a joy to use with adapted lenses, hence in this roundup, you’ll find GFX cameras taking picutres with the following lenses:
I hope you will enjoy the images below as much as I did, and I wish you a fantastic day ahead.

Fujifilm’s Firmware Love Ain’t Over Yet: X-T4 and GFX100 Firmware Coming Soon… and More?
I have told you a back in May, that Fujifilm is going to deliver a couple of firmware updates in June.
Now Fujifilm started to deliver.
The Fujifilm X-A7 and X-T200 made the start.
However, we confirm that there will be at least two more firmware updates: one for Fujifilm X-T4 and another one for Fujifilm GFX100. Both should happen within late June.
Will this be all?
Well, I write about Fujifilm cameras on FR since almost a decade now, and the past experience has shown, that Fujifilm likes to organize some massive “download firmware parties” that include several cameras.
To be clear: I do not have specific information so far, but I would not be surprised, if Fujifilm would update even more cameras.
What I am sure, though, is…
… that the very same second new firmware will be released, you will read about it on FujiRumors, no matter when it happens. Let’s say my sixth sense will let know when things are going to happen ;).
So, if…
… if you belong to that group of people, who’d like to get the information instantly and accurately, then I strongly recommend you to stay tuned on FujiRumors.

Fujinon GF30mmF3.5 vs GF23mmF4 vs GF45mmF2.8 Specs and Size Comparison
Fujinon GF30mm f/3.5
With the latest specs and price leak about the upcoming Fujinon GF 30mm f/3.5, I thought it could make sense to compare the lens with its immediate “focal length neighbors“, meaning the Fujinon GF23mm f/4 and the Fujinon GF 45mm f/2.8.
So I added both lenses to the BHphoto specs comparison tool and added the leaked specs for the GF30mm f/3.5 to it.
Down below you can see the specs comparison as well as a size comparison I made a while back here, based on technical sketches delivered by Fujifilm.
The lens will be announced soon.
Don’t worry, FujiRumors will be ready to live blog right at announcement. Trust me. ;)

Fujifilm GFX Roundup: Compared to Hasselblad X1D II, GFX100 Review and GF lenses Reviews
I have said it and I confirm it: the Fujifilm GFX system is future proof.
The lens selection is growing, the cameras are getting more affordable, and wait for the global shutter, which the GFX system will benefit more than other systems from, as we have elaborated here.
As of today, if I should grab one, I’d go for the Fujifilm GFX50R without a doubt. But I have the impression, to really make the big breakthrough, Fujifilm needs to give us that Fujifilm GFX G.
Don’t get me wrong, the Fujifilm GFX100 (which enjoys a stratospheric success), is a technical marvel for sure. But it is also a clear ergonomic departure from everything else we know from Fujifilm.
So, my recommendation: stick with that awesome retro feel. Give us a 100 megapixel retro camera, and I am sure it will outsell even the very well selling GFX100.
With that said, here is a GFX roundup, which covers cameras and lenses.

Tony Northrup Industry Predictions: Fujifilm X Mount Will Survive, but GFX Probably Phase Out (but I do NOT Agree)
Tony Northrup just released a predictions video, on which camera systems will survive, and which ones not.
Probably fine (in order from most fine, to least fine):
FUJIFILM Firmware Updates Coming in June for X-T4, X-A7, GFX100 and More?
It looks like June will be a interesting month, when it comes to Firmware updates.
Yesterday we reported about a free ProRes RAW Video Firmware update coming for Fujifilm GFX100.
Now we get hear reports that also the X-A7 should get an update, as well as the Fujifilm X-T4 (this one scheduled for the end of June).
I don’t know yet, if other cameras will get an update.
But keep in mind:
If there is one thing that Fujifilm can easily delay at any point in time, it’s firmware updates. If they feel it is not ready for their planed released, they will simply move it back a few weeks.
But what I know surely, is that the very same second Fujifilm Japan releases the firmware, you will read about it on FujiRumors.
