Criticizing and attacking Fujifilm is quite popular on the internet, and down below I will talk about possible reasons why it is like this.

Sometimes these critiques are justified, but sometimes I feel these attacks are unjustified.

Let’s talk about it now.

Singer-Turned-Photographer Bryan Adams Shooting Pirelli Calendar 2022 with Fujifilm GFX100S

Here is a little weekend curiosity.

Singer-Turned-Photographer Bryan Adams is currently at work to shoot the new Pirelli Calendar 2022.

Now some behind the scenes images appeared at CNN here, and the camera we see has to be the Fujifilm GFX100S: flat viewfinder, top LCD with two buttons on the right, the “viewmode” printed on the side.

Well, at least he got one already. Fujifilm was totally overwhelmed by the demand for this camera (it is already the most owned GFX camera among the FR community), that it is still hard to find in stock (and Fujifilm warned us about this).

As for the lens he is using in the image we can see above, it could be the Fujinon GF32-64mmF4.

Well, that’s surely where the GFX system belongs: very high end professional work.

And yet, considering that medium format is now getting more affordable than some mirrorless full frame cameras and also smaller than some full frame mirrorless cameras, the GFX system is finding its way also in lots of camera bags of enthusiast photographers, who might not make money out of their images, but value image quality above all else.

You can read the full article and see the images at CNN here.

These are the Best Selling Fujifilm X/GFX Summer Deals on FujiRumors (Plus One Intruder)

The Fujifilm X and GFX summer deals are running. Some of them end today, some of them on July 23, and others on August 22. You can see the full details below.

In any case, if there is something you are interested in, it might be better to order today and not wait for the last second, for the reasons I’ve explained here.

With that said, I took a look at which Fujifilm X and GFX gear was selling best among the FujiRumors community, and here is what you guys picked most.

X Gear – Best Sellers

  1. XF 16-80mmF4
  2. XF 50-140mmF2.8
  3. XF 70-300mmF4-5.6
  4. Fujifilm X-T3
    Fujifilm X-T30
  5. XF 200mm F2
    XF 8-16mm F2.8

The Fujinon XF70-300mmF4-5.6 is not in offer, so it is sort of an intruder in this list, but it is selling good. I think Fujifilm hit many X shooters heart with this one. And while it might seem disappointing that the XF200 and XF8-16 are on the bottom of the ranking, the deals definitely helped to boost sales also for those lenses.

GFX gear – Best Sellers

  1. GF 50mm F3.5
  2. GF 45mmF2.8
  3. GF 32-64mmF4
  4. Fujifilm GFX 50R

The Nr.1 is taken by a lens that I myself am tempted to get, the compact GF50mmF3.5. I was hoping for a deal on it also here in Italy, but they went for other lenses, and I got myself the GF 32-64mmF4.

No surprise that the Fujifilm GFX50R does not sell strong, despite the $1,000 rebate, as this is a rebate we have already seen in the past and most people grabbed their sample back then.

Huge Fujifilm X/GFX Deals in USA with Up to $2,000 Savings and One Recommendation

So, Fujifilm finally launched huge deals with up to $2,000 savings on X and GFX gear. You’ll find all details below.

Depending on the deal, they run either until July 11, July 25 or August 22.

But here is one recommendation I’d like to make, based also on my personal experience.

Fujifilm was upfront and already announced here delivery delays on many products due to chip shortage.

Considering that the current deals will cause a demand-boost on the below mentioned gear, if you are interested to get your gear as fast as possible, maybe it is better not to wait the last days of the deals.

It’s an error I did in fact.

I did wait the last days of the GF lens deals myself back in April, and while initially the store had the GF32-64 available, it did run out of stock during the promotional period, and now I am still waiting to get mine. I wish I’d have ordered earlier.

But hey, if you are more patient than me, then also ordering last second is a great option.

Fujifilm GFX50SMKII Will Be Fuji’s Most Affordable GFX Camera, Hence Cost Less Than…

FujiRumors already told you a few months ago that Fujifilm will launch the Fujifilm GFX50SMKII in 2021.

We also told you months ago, that it will feature the very same sensor of the original GFX50S.

And now let’s move on and leak more about the Fujifilm GFX50SMKII.

According to trusted information we have received, the Fujifilm GFX50SMKII will be Fujifilm’s most affordable GFX camera ever.

This means it will be even cheaper than the currently most affordable GFX camera, the Fujifilm GFX50R, which retails at a price tag of $4,500.

That’s it for now.
