Specs Compared: Fujinon GF 50mmF3.5 vs GF 63mmF2.8 and GF 45mmF2.8
Fujinon GF50mm f/3.5
The newly announced Fujinon GF50mm f/3.5 is a potential GAS trigger lens for many GFX shooters, given its compact size, especially combined with Fujifilm GFX50R. In fact, Fujifilm says you can’t get a lighter and smaller medium format combo than this one.

Why Fujifilm GFX Medium Format System is Future Proof and Tony Northrup’s GFX Pessimism is Unjustified
The Future of GFX
And then it became clear to me: Fujifilm medium format has a glorious future ahead. :)
Just two thing before we start:
- Tony Northrup shared a video (see below), where he didn’t sound very confident about the GFX future. I thought about it, and the result is the article below
- This article is based on the assumption, that in future only higher end cameras are 100% safe from the smartphone attack, since professional photographers won’t ever switch to smartphones for their Pro work
2 minutes reading time (or just 15 seconds if you jump directly to the conclusions ;) )
- Fujifilm 2016 – The Statment
In 2016, Fujifilm Managers Makoto Oishi and Fuji Guy Billy said in this interesting interview:
When the global shutter sensor comes to be, it will be a big change just to the whole camera industry, taking away all the limitations of current electronic shutters. […]
If the GFX has global shutter, so we can imagine something new. A smaller body.
So let’s talk about it.
Fuji Guy Billy Talks GFX100, Digital Image Stabilization via Firmware Update, GF Lenses and More
The third episode of the Fujilove podcast with Fuji Guy Billy just went online (episode 1, episode 2). You can listed to it all at sticher and Fujilove.
As to expect it is centered on the Fujifilm GFX100.
Here some excerpts, skipping most of the stuff you have already heard all too often :).
Fujikina 2019 Tokyo, May 25/26: Fujifilm GFX 100 Launch Party and More?
Fujikina 2019
Fujifilm announced the Fujikina 2019 event in Tokyo on May 25/26.
In the Fujifilm world, “Fujikina” means “big launch event“, and in this case it will be the official launch party for the Fujifilm GFX100, which will be announced on May 23.
What else could come?
Besides the release of the silver Fujinon XF16mmf2.8, I have not heard any more details about the event.
The Fujifilm X-Pro3 is sure for 2019, but no source has so far told me, that it will come in May (but never say never).
If you are waiting for the Fujinon XF 16-80mm f4 and GF50mm f/3.5, Fujifilm said they will be released in fall.
Whatever comes, you only have to do one thing: follow FujiRumors to know everything as fast as possible ;).

Fujifilm XF 16-80mmF4 and Fujinon GF 50mmF3.5 to be Released This Fall – First Specs Online and Additional Fuji GFX100 Images
Fujinon Lenses
The FujiRumors CP+ 2019 live coverage continues, and this time I have found the answer to the question, when the Fujinon XF16-80mm f/4 and GF 50mm f/3.5 will be released at the Japanese site capa.getnavi here:
- XF 16-80mmF4 – to be released in fall 2019
- GF 50mmF3.5 – to be released in fall 2019
Those perfect travel lenses come to late for our summer trips. Digested this bad news? Then let’s move on!
The Japanese site also shared Fujifilm GFX100 images and media slides (in Japanese), but don’t worry, FujiRumors has already leaked them all (and even more in detail) a few weeks ago in this article.
I did translate all the Japanese slides, and there is nothing that we do not know already about the Fujifilm GFX100.. For additional GFX 100 images you can also check out the Polish site optyczne.
What I will translate for you, though, are the media slides of the lenses.

Fujinon GF100-200mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR First Look and Samples (Coming First Quarter 2019)
Fujinon GF100-200mm F5.6
The Belgian shop PCHstore shared the first images of the Fujinon GF100-200mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR, as well as a first sample shot with crop. A selection of the images can be found down below.
You can read the PCHstore first impressions article in French here (google translated). Amongst the others they write:
“Our first impressions are more than good! This lens is relatively light, handy and the optical quality after our first tests is at the rendezvous. In addition the GF100-200mm is stabilized which is very valuable when we have the tremblotte like me
The Fujinon GF100-200mm F5.6 LM OIS WR should arrive in the course of the first quarter of 2019 if our information is correct“
If you are in PCHstore area, make sure to run there, since they write that “for those who would like to see it; the GF100-200mm will be visible until tomorrow 12H!”
Back in September, Fujifilm announced the new Fujinon GF lens roadmap, which included the GF100-200mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR, GF50mmF3.5 R LM WR and GF45-100mmF4 R LM OIS WR.
