Fujifilm GFX Fixed Lens Camera Lens Patents Spotted – GF35mm F3.5, GF40mm F3.5 and GF50mm F3.5

The following lens patents for the GFX have been spotted by the Japanese website asobinet.

  • GF35mmF3.5
    (more precisely 33mmF3.6)
  • GF40mmF3.5
    (more precisely 39mmF3.6 and 43mmF3.6)
  • GF50mmF3.5
    (more precisely 51mmF3.6)

Asobinet speculates that these are patents for a fixed lens camera, since it has a short back focus.

Fellow FujiRumors readers already know that the fixed lens Fujifilm GFX will come in the first half of 2025 with a 28mm equivalent lens, which means it will be 35mm in GFX format.

All of the patents show an f/3.5 aperture, which would be a f/2.8 depth of field equivalent in full frame.

LEAKED: Fujifilm X-T5 and X-S20 Kit Price with XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 and GFX100SII plus GF500mm Price Confirmed

We told you already in September 2023 from a stunning Dolomite mountain peak, that the glorious Fujinon XF18-55mm f/2.8-4 would be replace by a new kit lens, the Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8.

This means it will come not only bundled with the new Fujifilm X-T50, but also with other Fujifilm cameras such as the Fujifilm X-T5 and the Fujifilm X-S20.

And today (THANKS!!!) we can also tell you the price of the bundles as well as confirming the pricing we shared earlier.

  • X-T50 body only = €1,499
  • XF 16-50mmF2.8-4.8 = €799
  • X-T50 + XF16-50 = €1,899
  • X-T50 + XC15-45 = €1,599
  • X-T5 + XF16-50 = €2,399
    X-T5 body only = €1,999
  • X-S20 + XF16-50 = €1,799
    X-S20 body only = €1,399
  • GFX100S II = $4,999 / €5,499
  • GF500mmF5.6 = €3,899

So overall you get the lens for €400 if you buy it bundled with a camera body. The XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 alone will cost €800.

Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6 on GFX100 II and Accurate Size compared to GF250mmF4

Fujifilm has released a new G mount roadmap that includes the following lenses:

  • Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6
  • GF powerzoom (for movie shooting)

During the Fujifilm X Summit (full summary here), Fujifilm did show us the silhouette of the Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6.

So I decided to take that silhouette and mount it on a brand new Fujifilm GFX100II.

Also, I compared its size to the currently longest prime Fujifilm offers, the Fujinon GF250mmF4. You can see the results down below.

This is as accurate as it gets. But keep in mind that, while historically Fujifilm shares pretty reliable silhouettes of upcoming gear, the shape we see now is based on the current state of development.

The Fujifilm Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6 will hit the market only sometimes in 2024, hence minor design changes might still occur until its final release.

Fujinon GF50mmF3.5 Firmware Still Suspended

Suspended Firmware

Back on April 27, Fujifilm released firmware updates for lots X and GFX lenses (plus some cameras).

Among them there was firmware 1.10 for the Fujinon GF50mmF3.5 with some welcome improvements.

However, at some point Fujifilm removed the firmware and said:

It has been confirmed that there are some rare cases where the upgrade process fails with Ver. 1.10 released on April 27, 2023. For this reason, we have just removed the download button for this version here. We will resume the download button as soon as a fix is ready.

Customers who have successfully upgraded this firmware can continue to use the product.

Since then, nothing happened and the firmware is still suspended.

As an owner of the Fujinon GF50mmF3.5 myself, I just share this friendly reminder to Fujifilm that there is this suspended firmware and that we would really appreciate if they’d fix it… just in case Fuji forgot about it.

SURPRISE: Save 30% on Fujinon GF50mm f/3.5

At the time of this post, AmazonUS here and BHphoto here are offering the Fujinon GF50mm f/3.5 with a 30% rebate.

At BHphoto here, you also get a free UV filter on top of it.

This is not an official deal, so no idea how long it will remain available.

I own this lens and it makes the perfect everyday walkaround lens for the GFX100S, making your 100MP medium format system ridiculously compact and light. When I am out with my family and decide to take the GFX100S, then this is the lens I glue on it.
