Fujifilm GFX100RF: More Than Just a Camera for $5K – Here’s What You Get!

We told you that the Fujifilm GFX100RF will cost about 5,000 USD.

While 37% of you either though the price is OK or suspended the judgment until they see the full specs, 63% of you straight out voted that the price is too high – see poll results here.

But that’s apparently not the full story.

In fact, after we shared the survey, the same trusted source, who told us the US Dollar price, reached out to me and wanted me to inform the fellow Fujifilm community, that there is a bit more than “just” the camera and lens coming for “about 5K”. Because included in the price there will also be:

I guess this won’t change the mind of the 63% of people, who think the Fujifilm GFX100RF is overpriced, but it is a nice set of freebies anyway.

Update: Fujifilm never gave us free filters and filter adapters with cameras. Nor did they include a square lens hood. So this is a first ever for Fujifilm. Also, the strap is of a much higher quality than the cheap one we usually get.

Sigma 16-300mmF3.5-6.7 vs Tamron 18-300mmF3.5-6.3 – Specs Comparison

Earlier today Sigma has announced the Sigma 16-300mmF3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary. You can pre-order it here.

It’s only competitor is the Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3.

I used the BH comparison tool to compare side by side the specs of both lenses.

At a first glance, I’d say that at least for me the Sigma 16-300mm is the better pick, mainly because of the 16mm at the wide end. But it also has more aperture blades (which potentially means smoother bokeh) and a more sophisticated lens design. All of it packed in a lens about the same size of the Tamron and at the same price, too.

But feel free to take a look at the specs comparison yourself and let us know in the comments what you think is the better pick.

Fujikina Prague March 22/23: Go Hands on with Fujifilm GFX100RF (and More?)

Fujikina Prague

Following the Fujifilm X Summit on March 20 (as FR told you exclusively here), there will be the Fujikina on March 22/23 in Prague.

This will be the first event in which Fujifilm will publicly display the latest Fujifilm X and GFX gear, with the Fujifilm GFX100RF probably being the main course of the meal.

You can book your ticket here.

Fujikina ≠ X Summit

Most of the Fujikina events are standalone events, meaning they are not scheduled close to product launches.

For example, last year we had:

  • Fujikina Berlin – April 6
  • Fujikina Manila – April 27
  • Fujikina Arles –  June 18
  • Fujikina Barcelona – November 17

All these Fujikina events happened several weeks or even months away from any Fujifilm announcement (there were a total of 3 X Summits in 2024).

So, it’s a fact: most Fujikina events are not scheduled in proximity of new product launches.

Fujikina Reports Lack – Why?

The fact that most Fujikina events do not coincide with new product launches is also the main reason why I stopped reporting about Fujikina events.

The reason is simple: I noticed that if I share them on FujiRumors, people assume that new gear will be announced ahead of that Fujikina event.

And since I don’t want to create false hopes or misunderstandings, I only report about Fujikina events that coincide with new gear launches.

I Can Change That

I find it a pity not to report about Fujikina events, even if in most cases they are totally unrelated to new product launches.

So I am considering to change my position and report about future events.

But it has to be clear to all FujiRumors readers: if I report about a Fujikina event, I don’t also mean to say that new gear must be announced around then. On the contrary, in most cases do not expect to see any new gear there.

If that is clear, I will report about all possible Fujikina events again.

Back to Prague

But this time, at the Fujikina in Prague, you can be sure to see brand new gear.

So you can book your spot if you want to be one of the first to touch & try the Fujifilm GFX100RF…. and who knows what else. ;)

Happy to help you out with your travel plans ;)

Tokina AF 11-18mm f/2.8 atm-x for Fujifilm X Announced

The Tokina AF 11-18mm f/2.8 atm-x lens for Fujifilm X mount has just been announced.

When Tokina launched their first Fujifilm X mount autofocus trinity, I was very skeptical and criticized their choice, as they looked like to be just a rebranded (and more expensive) version of the Viltrox X mount trinity.

And I guess many other people were disappointed just like me, so much so that non too long after, Tokina discontinued their first three X mount lenses.

But there was another APS-C lens launched by Tokina in 2022, that would have been way more interesting to have for X mount: the Tokina 11-18mmF2.8 for Sony E mount.

Well, the wait is now over, as Tokina has now launched the Tokina atx-m 11-18mmF2.8 X for Fujifilm X mount.

You can read the full press release below.

It’s competitors in this zoom and price range are the Sigma 10-18mmF2.8 DC DN X and the Tamron 11-20mmF2.8.
