RUMOR: Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 with Collapsible Lens Design

If you follow FujiRumors, you’ll know that Fujifilm is preparing to launch the new Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 lens.

You’ll also know it will cost just $500 if bundled with the upcoming Fujifilm GFX50SII.

Well, thanks to our sources, today we can tell you that the Fujinon GF35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 will have a collapsible lens. We know this design already from the Fujinon XC15-45mm F3.5-5.6.

For your convenience, down below is a recap of all Fujifilm GFX50SII and Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5-6 rumors.

The GFX Rumor Recap

Fujinon GF35-70mm 4.5-5.6 will Not Have an Aperture Ring

Sure, it will be very affordable. But I think that what I am going to tell you might be a deal breaker for some.

The upcoming Fujinon GF35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 will not have an aperture ring.

Honestly, when I received the first rumors about this lens, I was hesitant if I should wait for it and pass on the €500 rebate on the GF32-64mmf4.

Ultimately I went for the GF32-64mmF4 and especially after this rumor I am happy I did. I love aperture rings and I even sold my good old 27mmF2.8 for the new 27mmF2.8 R WR just to get this single feature.

And yet, I believe this lens fixes the true anomaly in the GF lens lineup, so I still believe it’s a very smart move by Fujifilm.

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.

Meet My Fujifilm GFX100S: What I Love, What I Hate and My First Firmware Request

The Mountains Shall Wait

So, my Fujifilm GFX100S just arrived as well as my Fujinon GF32-64mmF4.

The original plan was to hit the mountains and go full into landscape photography mode as soon as I have my GFX gear. But my wife decided she needed to take a 3 week long intensive course in Italian language starting exactly this week, which means I basically have to stay at home to take care of my son while she studies. Unluckily not the best timing ;).

But the summer is long and I’ll get my hiking opportunities. And it never hurts to have quality time with my son, too :).

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 GFX Evolution: Leaving Perfection for…

ZP productions tested the GFX100S and GF80mmF1.7. He loves both, and owns both.

But there is one note he makes.

He says that when Fujifilm launched the GFX system a few years ago, it had sheer perfect lenses. But he noticed that with the latest lens releases, Fujifilm traded in a bit of that perfection to release less perfect, smaller and more affordable lenses.

In this context, he compares the GF110mmF2 to the GF80mmF1.7, the first one being expressions of Fuji’s perfection, the second one, while still being excellent and he actually totally loves to shoot with it, just not being just as perfect as the GF110mmF2.

I’ll make a summary down below of his 17 minutes long video below and would love to hear what you guys think about it.
