RUMOR, NEWS and COMMUNITY
On the official G mount roadmap, Fujifilm says that there will be a tilt shift lens (not lenses) coming in 2023.
And in fact, they even showed us during the X summit in September 2021 mock-ups of that lens. We can clearly see it’s a GF30mmF4 TS.
But here is the thing.
We have been informed, that Fujifilm does not plan to release one, but two tilt shift lenses for the GFX system in 2023.
If Fujifilm does not change plans, one of them will surely be the Fujinon GF30mmF4 TS.
As for the second one, you might remember how back in 2019 Fujifilm officially asked you guys which tilt lenses you want to get for your GFX. For your convenience, you can see the survey again down below.
Loading ...Out of the four options Fujifilm gave us, most of you wanted the widest one, the Fujinon GF 21mm F4 Tilt Shift.
The second spot went to the one lens Fujifilm will make for sure, the Fujinon GF30mmF4 TS (unless they change their mind).
A smaller number of the GFX community desired a Tilt Macro option.
Since my source mentioned a second “tilt shift” and not “tilt macro” lens, all those who voted for the Fujinon GF21mm F4 TS can be quite hopeful now.
But I don’t have details on the second lens. It could be also something totally different. I will see if I can find out more for you guys and will eventually let you know here on FujiRumors.

RUMOR, NEWS and COMMUNITY
Fujifilm has released firmware updates for the Fujifilm X-H1, X-T200, X-T100, X-A7 and X-A5.
You’ll find all the details and download links below.
Rumors and Discussions
With the growing popularity of the Fujifilm GFX system, third party manufacturers started to make G mount lenses.
For example, we have a couple of nice Laowa G mount lenses, Mitakon G mount lenses, Irix G mount lenses and TTArtisan G mount lenses.
Well, another third party manufacturer is about to join the Fujifilm G mount system: AstrHori.
Now, AstrHori isn’t new in the Fujifilm world, as they already make a couple of lenses for the Fujifilm X system.
But the AstrHori 75mm f/4 will be their first lens for the Fujifilm GFX system. You can see an image of it mounted on the Fujifilm GFX100S above (in its original watermark free version ;))

RUMOR, NEWS and COMMUNITY
We published an article, where we reason about the future for the GFX series. A future, to say it once again clearly here, I have no idea about due to the lack of rumors, which tends to make me believe that nothing GFX camera related is coming in the foreseeable future.
And yet, this won’t stop a rumor site from having fun making speculations, or should it? I just need to make sure that you guys get a clear indication from my side that this is a speculation, not a rumor.
So what’s the speculation?
For the reasons we explained in this article, we look at the following cameras:
The comment section on the original article was vivid, as well as over at our Fujifilm GFX Facebook group.
So I thought we could try to nail the whole discussion down to one brutally short survey: which GFX are you potentially more interested in?
And yes, I know we don’t know if they will ever come. We don’t know the features nor the price they’d have if they’d ever come. We don’t know about possible design differences. We know nothing.
But we are a rumor site. And and as such it does not hurt to add a bit of lightness and fun to it by speculating on Fujifilm’s future.
NOTE: “S” models listed below are SLR styled models and “R” models are rangefinder styled models

2022 has been an X series year so far, and therefore we haven’t covered the GFX system as much as for example last year, when the stellar Fujifilm GFX100S and the affordable Fujifilm GFX50SII hit the market.
And let me say this: Fujifilm has no hurry at all to release new GFX cameras, as the Fujifilm GFX100S is a crazy seller, which is still more often out of stock rather than in stock.
So time for FujiRumors to remind us all that there is also the GFX system out there thanks to a dedicated roundup.
There is pattern in the Fujifilm world.
And the pattern is, that the sensor used on the X series, later on finds its way also on the GFX series.
The only difference? The sensor used in the GFX series comes from the same silicon wafer of the one used for the X series, it is just cut out 4 times bigger (and of course with different CFA array on top, meaning a Bayer vs an X-Trans one).
That’s a well known fact for FR-readers, but in case you are still hesitant about it, just read what Fujifilm Nordic told in March 2022, confirming that X and GFX share the same technology also in terms of sensor and processor. Hence, looking at the X series will give indications also on the future of the GFX series.
Well, so let’s look at it.
In terms of 5th generation sensors we have:
Assuming that Fujifilm will continue to share the same sensor platform on the X and GFX system, and considering the statements made by Fujifilm Nordic, people believe that Fujifilm will soon launch new GFX cameras using the sensor technology of the X-H2 cameras.
And if I’d sum up the most “rumored” options for the future of GFX, I’d nail it down to three cameras that people think could come in a not so distant future::
So is this really the case? Let’s talk about it.
Fringer EF-GFX Pro Smart AF adapter firmware 1.30 has been released.
In additional to ordinary updates like being compatible with more lenses, a new function is added, i.e., in-body vignetting and distortion correction support. The adapter firmware 1.30 has embedded with the correction profile for the following lenses.
Ok, I have just shared the rumor about the high resolution 40 Megapixel Fujifilm X-H2 not having a stacked sensor.
There is a good amount of disbelief about this rumor, as most (but not FR) gave it for granted that also the high resolution Fujifilm X-H2 would have a stacked sensor.
Now, you know I don’t like to make any reliability ranking when I share a rumor. But given the situation, I thought I make an exception today.
So let me put this way: it is my final, confirmed and definitive answer that the Fujifilm X-H2 will have a 40MP non stacked sensor. I am 100% sure about this and there is no margin of error.
This means that if you love the X-H line and if you look for stacked sensor camera, waiting for the X-H2 is time wasted.
You’ll get what you need with the 26MP Fujifilm X-H2S coming on May 31.
With that clarified, I will now move on and share more rumors… so stay tuned. We have a lot to talk about before May 31 ;).
