Don’t Worry: Fujinon GF35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 is Weather Sealed
FujiRumors told you already back in March (!!!) that Fujifilm will launch the Fujifilm GFX50SII.
And over all these months, we have leaked, price, specs, release date and more.
We have also told you that, along with the Fujifilm GFX50SII, Fujifilm will launch a new and affordable zoom lens, the Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6.
When we leaked the first details (no aperture ring, $500 kit price, etc), some FR-readers were sure that this would be the G mount equivalent of the Fujinon XC lenses, hence just a plastic mount and possibly not even weather sealing, in order to keep it as cheap as possible.
But that’s not correct.
The Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 will have a metal mount and, that’s today’s rumor, according to our sources it will also be weather sealed!

Fujifilm GFX50SII has X Processor 4 for Faster Autofocus and Nostalgic Negative Film Simulation
According to our sources, the Fujifilm GFX50SII will feature Fuji’s currently most modern processor, the X Processor 4.
We remind you that the original Fujifilm GFX50S uses the previous generation processor, the X Processor Pro.
That’s quite a big deal, as it will allow the Fujifilm GFX50SII to focus faster than its predecessor and also to have all the latest film simulations including the lovely Nostalgic Negative simulation.
To be clear, I doubt it will focus as fast as the Fujifilm GFX100S, as the Fujifilm GFX50SII will still feature a non BSI sensor. But the new X Processor 4 will surely be able to squeeze out all what’s left in terms of AF power from that 50 megapixel sensor.
I believe Fujifilm is about to drop a serious winner on the market.
