Why Fujifilm GFX Medium Format System is Future Proof and Tony Northrup’s GFX Pessimism is Unjustified
The Future of GFX
And then it became clear to me: Fujifilm medium format has a glorious future ahead. :)
Just two thing before we start:
- Tony Northrup shared a video (see below), where he didn’t sound very confident about the GFX future. I thought about it, and the result is the article below
- This article is based on the assumption, that in future only higher end cameras are 100% safe from the smartphone attack, since professional photographers won’t ever switch to smartphones for their Pro work

- Fujifilm 2016 – The Statment
In 2016, Fujifilm Managers Makoto Oishi and Fuji Guy Billy said in this interesting interview:
When the global shutter sensor comes to be, it will be a big change just to the whole camera industry, taking away all the limitations of current electronic shutters. […]
If the GFX has global shutter, so we can imagine something new. A smaller body.
So let’s talk about it.
Really Right Stuff Fujifilm GFX100 L-Plate with Extra Vertical Grip
Some reviewers complaint that the vertical grip on the Fujifilm GFX100 is too sleek.
The upcoming Really Right Stuff L-Plate for Fujifilm GFX100 has been designed with its own wrap around grip, in order to improve the ergonomics.
It keeps access to all ports and has double anchor points to the camera to ensure maximum stability.
If you want to shoot tethered, you can slide the camera plate away from the body.
