Fujifilm Photography News and Rumors

A patent for a GFX lens with a short back focus was found that could give us a hint about Fujifilm’s future X100 style GFX camera. The patents are for GF35mm F3.5, GF40mm F3.5, and GF50mm F3.5 lenses. The X100 style GFX has been rumored for quite a while and I hope we see one sooner rather than later to take advantage of the crazy demand for X100 cameras.
