Last year Lok visited Fujifilm’s factory in Japan last year where he helped assemble an X-H1 and failed, but he also got a look at the GFX100. This is a similar factory tour to 1, 2, and 3. Lok was very late to release his video and it is probably because of the embargo. There were quite a few tours at the time and a few gave us a glimpse of the GFX100 unintentionally, but Lok waited. Below are excerpts from his visit:
- The video starts with all the parts of the GFX100 laid out for the press
- Some of the manual assembly of the GFX100 is shown after the parts
- Then Fujifilm has the press try to put the skin on a X-H1 and the Fujifilm rep does it in 1 min 10 sec and lock was by far the slowest
- They spend a lot of time making sure the senor assembly is clean, which takes a lot of time
- They use a green-colored light when cleaning glass lens elements to see the specs on it
- Lok then takes a try at cleaning an element and he doesn’t make much progress, but Fujifilm gives him a pass
