Fujifilm Firmware Updates for Every GFX Camera, X-T4, X-T50 and a few GF Lenses (FINALLY)

Share

As you know, I am a happy owner of the Fujinon GF50mmF3.5.

Well, happy until a certain point.

Because as I wrote in a complaint post here, the firmware for the GF50mmF3.5 had been suspended and remained so for many months (now years).

I did moan about it here on FujiRumors, but nothing happened.

Nothing until today! :)

Because FINALLY Fujifilm has released a new firmware for the previously suspended GF50mmF3.5 as well as the GF35-70mm.

And not only that.

Also the GF500mmF5.6 as well as every single Fujifilm GFX camera got firmware updates.

In the X series world, we get firmware updates for the Fujifilm X-T4 and the Fujifilm X-T50.

ATTENTION: Please update first the GFX camera firmware (no lens attached) and only after that you should update the GF50mm or GF35-70mm firmware.

＜Important Notice>

In the unlikely event that firmware update process for any of the above interchangeable lenses is interrupted and the message below appears, please claim “Repair Service Center” in your country to upgrade the firmware. You can read the full firmware instruction here.

Fujifilm to Revive a Camera Line in 2024 that Most of Us Thought Axed

Share

Recently we reported about a new Fujifilm camera registration (FF240002).

Well, our sources have something to say about it ;).

The camera that hides behind this registration is the successor to a camera line that most of us (maybe even all of us) thought dead and axed forever.

The camera will be announced in the second half of 2024.

It’s your time now to dream! Let us know which camera you’d like to get.

No Fujifilm GFX100R Currently Under Development? A Huge Mistake and a Future Idea

Share

We recently reported that the Fujifilm GFX100R (or any GFX50R replacement) is currently not under development.

And as we told you already, the best thing I can say is that at this point I believe it is currently debated inside Fujifilm if the line should continue at all (or not).

So today I’d like to speculate about the Fujifilm GFX100R, because I think Fujifilm would do a huge error if they’d axe the line.

So I hope this article (and especially your comments) will motivate Fujifilm to keep the GFX-R line going.

And in case Fujifilm needs it, I’ll share also a GFX-R mockup created by Aperture Value (video below).

In the mock-up he refers to it as a potential fixed lens GFX camera. But that’s not relevant for the purpose of this article.

What is relevant for us in his mock-up is:

  • the hybrid viewfinder
  • Retro Controls

I want kindly ask Fujifilm to make a Fujifilm GFX100R that is basically a medium format X-Pro, with hybrid viewfinder and retro controls.

I think it would become a huge success, especially considering that no other modern Fujifilm GFX cameras offers retro controls or a hybrid viewfinder, and as such, it would be the one camera people would grab if they’d want medium format image quality in a vintage package.

So, dear Fujifilm. Don’t hesitate. Do it! And take our money.

Laowa to Launch World’s First Zoom Shift Lens

Share

Venus Optics is teasing the world’s first Zoom Shift lens.

The official announcement will happen on July 8.

There are no additional details about it, but as some FujiRumors readers noticed, looking at its size it looks like an APS-C lens, so let’s hope it will come also for Fujifilm X mount.

Look, I usually applaud when new lenses for Fujifilm show up. The more the merrier, right?

But it has also to be said that often third party lenses are either rebranded lenses of already existing glass or they are just too similar to what Fujifilm, Viltrox & Co already offer.

So I am particulary happy to welcome the new Laowa lens, as this one is really something unique.
