Fujifilm is Celebrating 5 Years of GFX – The Game Has Changed

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 19, 2022


It’s hard to believe that the Fujifilm GFX launched 5 years ago now when Fujifilm announced the GFX50S and 6 medium format lenses. Since then Fujifilm has launched 4 more bodies along with 13 lenses and a teleconverter. This move silenced a lot of criticism about Fujifilm not having a full-frame camera, which Fujifilm has repeatedly called unnecessary because APS-C is close enough.

The Fujifilm GFX also saw a lot of third-party support right from the start with multiple autofocus lens adapters launching on GFX before X mount. The GFX also convinced lighting manufactures to fully support Fujifilm cameras starting with the GFX. We still haven’t seen third-party autofocus lenses for GFX yet, but I am sure they will come someday soon with how much third-party support X mount has gained.

Overall the Fujifilm GFX represents a great success for Fujifilm if they can keep photographers interested. Photographers are still waiting for a variety of lenses especially tilt-shift, but there are tons of great third-party lenses on the market if you cannot wait. Fujifilm has gone through great lengths to drive down the price of the Fujifilm GFX while providing affordable glass that is well suited for up to 100MP, but many of us have been with GFX from the start.

I can’t wait to see what the years to come to bring, but I hope Fujifilm doesn’t lose its way in the pursuit of growth. Fujifilm occupies a unique portion of the market that is hard for Canon, Nikon, and Sony to target and Fujifilm should preserve that market that has helped it survive and prosper.

Stone Gray Instax: B&H Photo / Amazon

The Fujifilm Instax EVO has been selling very well and it checks off a lot of boxes for fans of classic cameras and the experience of shooting film, but it hasn’t started shipping in the US yet. The Instax EVO is expected to start shipping on February 1st and it will likely be in short supply if international sales are an indication.

Samyang AF 12mm f/2 IBIS Bug Found

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 17, 2022


Samyang AF 12mm F2 X: B&H Photo / Amazon

The Samyang AF 12mm f/2 is an interesting lens at a very affordable price, but it looks like the lens might need a firmware update for IBIS to work properly on the Fujifilm X-S10. A reader that previously reported having an IBIS issue with the lens sent me a DPR forum post with two additional reports of IBIS not working with the X-S10 here. This means there are at least 3 people having the same issue with the same camera that we know of so far. Three people could have three bad copies, but it is strange that the lens is reported to work correctly in every other way.

Samyang hasn’t released any firmware updates for the Samyang AF 12mm f/2 yet, but they may not be aware of the issue yet. This issue will be even harder to spot if the Fujifilm X-T4 IBIS works properly since there aren’t any reports of IBIS issues from X-T4 owners yet.
