First Third Party Autofocus Lenses for Fujifilm GFX Coming Soon and Two More Brands Working on It – REPORT

Share

Apparently the first third party autofocus lenses for the Fujifilm GFX system are coming, and they will be manufactured by a Chinese lens maker according to a report shared on the Chinese social media platform Weibo by the account 独立摄影师联合会 here.

If I should place a bet, I’d say Viltrox is the hottest candidate. But also Venus Optics could be an option, since they have the Laowa 200mm f/2.0 AF that was rumored to come also for GFX.

And not only that.

Always according to the same source, there are two more brands working on autofocus lenses for Fujifilm GFX. But the first to come will be a Chinese lens maker, which is said to announced them “soon”.

Sigma has often signaled interest for the GFX system and in fact also first patents has surfaced online. So Sigma is another hot candidate. And you can’t rule out Tamron either at this point.

Is Fujifilm Actually Attacking Its Fans? The Truth Behind Those Snarky Replies

Share

Some FR readers recently pointed me toward screenshots circulating on Instagram that allegedly show snarky replies from Fujifilm to fellow Fujifilm shooters.

So let me clarify.

A new Instagram trend is making the rounds where creators post fake screenshots of supposed messages from big brands saying things like “please stop tagging us.” The messages are not real, but they are designed to look authentic at first glance.

While some users understand this as a joke, the format can be misleading. Once shared widely, a large part of the audience can interpret these messages as genuine brand responses (as you can see from the screenshots above). The result is predictable: frustration, anger, and negative comments directed at companies that never actually sent the message.

The real winners in this trend are the creators. Fake brand replies generate outrage, comments, and shares, which translate directly into reach and engagement. Brands, on the other hand, inherit the backlash without any real upside.

To my knowledge, Fujifilm has so far not reacted or engaged on this trend (unlike Canon).

Ignoring the format allows the trend to burn out on its own, without amplifying confusion or unnecessary negativity toward the brand.

Fujifilm Cameras are Overrated and Film Simulations are Just Glorified Instagram Filters – NOTE: Turn on Sarcasm Detector ;)

Share

NOTE: this article belongs to the FujiHumors category, meaning it is a ironical piece. The true goal is to show off the awesome work that fellow Fujifilm X shooter Casey is creating with his Fujifilm X-E5, but by keeping the ironical tone he has in his shorts. And yes, film simulations (and in general Fujifilm colors) are awesome! So much so, that I have become a film simulation dial lover on my X-E5.

I looked it up.

Since this blog started, I have published almost 10,000 articles.

And today I realized something devastating:

Every single one of them is a lie.

So today, on this historic day of redemption, I will finally tell you the truth about Fujifilm cameras.

And the truth is:

  • Fujifilm cameras are overrated
  • Film Simulations are just glorified Instagram filters
  • The truth is Fujifilm files need lots of editing to look half decent

This might come as a shock to you, I know. It certainly was shocking for me.

But I saw some videos that I can’t unsee anymore. And they are the irrefutable proof that I was living a lie all this time.

The videos have been shared by fellow Fujifilm X-E5 shooter Casey Herzog. It clearly shows what a traumatic experience shooting with Fujifilm is.

Just look up the videos yourself below and all his shorts here.

That’s it… with this article, this blog is discontinued. You’ll find me over in the wonderful Canon world now.
