Imaging-resource published a long and very interesting interview with various Fujifilm managers, including Toshihisa Iida).
Here is a summary:
COVID-19:
MAP cameras had a talk with Japanese Fujifilm manager Takashi Ueno about the Fujifilm GFX system.
The automatic translation tool is again bad, so I went through this pain for all of you, and made a summary out of it ;).
You can read it down below as well as see both videos.
In terms of very fast lenses, Fujifilm is offering (or will offer soon):
If you want to go even faster, then you have to fo with manual focus lenses, more precisely:
However, I have received some images by a new source (thanks), of another ultra fast upcoming lens for the Fujifilm GFX system, with a maximum aperture of f/1.4. You can see the images above, mounted on the best camera of all time, the Fujifilm GFX50R.
I am trying to get more information about it, but for now, all I can say is:
Curious for more? Then stay tuned on FujiRumors, and I will update you as soon as I can, since I am continuous talk with the source. ;)

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.
As you know Fujifilm has big spring savings on Fujifilm X/GFX gear running. You can see the full list of deals here.
What you might not know, is that if you purchase any APS-C X mount lens, MKX Cine lens or the X-T200, you also get a free copy of Luminar 4 on top of it. Included in the deal also X100V, X-Pro3 and X-T4, but none of the other cameras.
And in case you missed it, Fujifilm also offers 70% discount on check and cleans. We reported here.
