Fujikina Prague March 22/23: Go Hands on with Fujifilm GFX100RF (and More?)

Fujikina Prague

Following the Fujifilm X Summit on March 20 (as FR told you exclusively here), there will be the Fujikina on March 22/23 in Prague.

This will be the first event in which Fujifilm will publicly display the latest Fujifilm X and GFX gear, with the Fujifilm GFX100RF probably being the main course of the meal.

You can book your ticket here.

Fujikina ≠ X Summit

Most of the Fujikina events are standalone events, meaning they are not scheduled close to product launches.

For example, last year we had:

  • Fujikina Berlin – April 6
  • Fujikina Manila – April 27
  • Fujikina Arles –  June 18
  • Fujikina Barcelona – November 17

All these Fujikina events happened several weeks or even months away from any Fujifilm announcement (there were a total of 3 X Summits in 2024).

So, it’s a fact: most Fujikina events are not scheduled in proximity of new product launches.

Fujikina Reports Lack – Why?

The fact that most Fujikina events do not coincide with new product launches is also the main reason why I stopped reporting about Fujikina events.

The reason is simple: I noticed that if I share them on FujiRumors, people assume that new gear will be announced ahead of that Fujikina event.

And since I don’t want to create false hopes or misunderstandings, I only report about Fujikina events that coincide with new gear launches.

I Can Change That

I find it a pity not to report about Fujikina events, even if in most cases they are totally unrelated to new product launches.

So I am considering to change my position and report about future events.

But it has to be clear to all FujiRumors readers: if I report about a Fujikina event, I don’t also mean to say that new gear must be announced around then. On the contrary, in most cases do not expect to see any new gear there.

If that is clear, I will report about all possible Fujikina events again.

Back to Prague

But this time, at the Fujikina in Prague, you can be sure to see brand new gear.

So you can book your spot if you want to be one of the first to touch & try the Fujifilm GFX100RF…. and who knows what else. ;)

Happy to help you out with your travel plans ;)

Tokina AF 11-18mm f/2.8 atm-x for Fujifilm X Announced

The Tokina AF 11-18mm f/2.8 atm-x lens for Fujifilm X mount has just been announced.

When Tokina launched their first Fujifilm X mount autofocus trinity, I was very skeptical and criticized their choice, as they looked like to be just a rebranded (and more expensive) version of the Viltrox X mount trinity.

And I guess many other people were disappointed just like me, so much so that non too long after, Tokina discontinued their first three X mount lenses.

But there was another APS-C lens launched by Tokina in 2022, that would have been way more interesting to have for X mount: the Tokina 11-18mmF2.8 for Sony E mount.

Well, the wait is now over, as Tokina has now launched the Tokina atx-m 11-18mmF2.8 X for Fujifilm X mount.

You can read the full press release below.

It’s competitors in this zoom and price range are the Sigma 10-18mmF2.8 DC DN X and the Tamron 11-20mmF2.8.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Coming in Two Colors (First Time Ever for GFX System) – And How to Pick the Right One ;)

In theory this should me a minor rumor.

And yet, I know it will be one of those, that will make future Fujifilm GFX100RF owners struggle quite a bit.

So what’s about?

Well, the Fujifilm GFX100RF will be offered in black and in silver.

Sure, nothing earth shattering.

But it is the first time ever Fujifilm is offering color options for a GFX camera.

While it’s nice to have more options, at the same time it also makes the choice harder.

So, which one should you go for?

Well, I have theory on which one is better: it’s the one that survives the assault of scalpers and that you are still lucky enough to find in stock somewhere.

And I speak out of experience.

No joke… I made the same error.

When the X100VI was launched, I miraculously found it available a few days after launch at my local store. They had one sample, all black. I wanted to grab it, but then I asked if they’ll get also the silver one. They said “probably next week“. So a week passed by, I went to the photography store and asked to see also the silver one. Answer: “All sold out. No idea when we will get new units“. I still pass there every now and then, but haven’t seen an X100VI ever again.

So, the one to get, is the one you find in stock. Silver or black, I am sure they’ll both look sexy.
