Fujifilm GFX Fixed Lens Camera Lens Patents Spotted – GF35mm F3.5, GF40mm F3.5 and GF50mm F3.5

Share

The following lens patents for the GFX have been spotted by the Japanese website asobinet.

  • GF35mmF3.5
    (more precisely 33mmF3.6)
  • GF40mmF3.5
    (more precisely 39mmF3.6 and 43mmF3.6)
  • GF50mmF3.5
    (more precisely 51mmF3.6)

Asobinet speculates that these are patents for a fixed lens camera, since it has a short back focus.

Fellow FujiRumors readers already know that the fixed lens Fujifilm GFX will come in the first half of 2025 with a 28mm equivalent lens, which means it will be 35mm in GFX format.

All of the patents show an f/3.5 aperture, which would be a f/2.8 depth of field equivalent in full frame.

Watch Out Fujifilm: Ricoh GRIV Coming First Quarter 2025 and Monochrome Version to Follow Later On

Share

According to a source (thanks!!!), the popular Ricoh GRIII will get a successor pretty soon.

In fact, I have been told that the Ricoh GR IV (not to mistake with the Ricoh GR Digital IV) is set to be announced in the first quarter of 2025.

And possibly even more exciting than that, later on next year, Ricoh will also launch a monochrome version of it, which for now we will simply call the Ricoh GR IV m.

So again:

  • Ricoh GR IV in first quarter 2025
  • at some point in 2025 (after the GRIV), there will be also a monochrome Ricoh GR IV M.

Here on FujiRumors we have been long asking for a monochrome X100 camera (or X-Pro). Sadly Fujifilm has not delivered so far, but I am happy to see other brands giving more options in this regard, so we do not have to go for the super expensive Leica offering.

One more reason for Fujifilm not only to work hard to ship as many X100VI’s as possible before the new Ricoh GRIV drops, but also to finally consider to give us a monochrome camera before other brands eat up too much of that market niche.

Venus Optics has announced the Laowa 12-24mm f/5.6 zoom shift CF lens.

The lens was actually announced back in July, but it was available only in China. Now it can be ordered worldwide at Venus Optics here.

Now that it is shipping worldwide, I hope there will be soon more reviews out there about this lens, so we can see how it really performs in the field.
