LEAKED: First Image of Fujifilm GFX100S II Shows One Obvious Difference over GFX100S

Trusted sources have passed us the first image of the Fujifilm GFX100S II which you can see below (THANKS A LOT).

I know what you think.

You think: “this looks exactly like the Fujifilm GFX100S“.

But look closer, and you’ll spot an actually quite noticeable difference.

Found it?

The whole GFX100S II camera body is now wrapped in the same Bishamon texture we find on the higher end Fujifilm GFX100 II.

That’s a good news. I loved that texture when I went hands-on with the Fujifilm GFX100II.

As for the rest, the Fujifilm GFX100S II looks pretty much identical to the Fujifilm GFX100S.

Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6 Announcement on May 16 and Priced €3,899

The Fujifilm X Summit on May 16 is getting bigger and bigger.

Not only will we get the Fujifilm X-T50, the Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 and the Fujifilm GFX100S II, but according to our sources also the Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6 will be announced on May 16.

And we also have the price for you.

The Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6 will cost €3,899 in Europe. So far I have no indication about the price in US Dollar.

Shocked?

Well, that’s actually a bargain compared to what other brands charge for equivalent lenses.
