DPRTV reviewed. the Fujinon GF45-100mm f/4 LM OIS WR on the Fujifilm GFX100. Below is a summary of the video above:

The GF45-100mm is about a 35-80mm
Could use a wider zoom
Fujifilm’s other zoom the GF32-64mm which about a 26-50mm
If you own them both there is a lot of overlap
Fujifilm needs to release a 20-35mm zoom to go with the GF45-100mm
Can handhold at 1/30th a second at 100mm
All the rings feel great and everything is weather sealed
82mm filter thread
Well built high-quality lens
1005g or 2.2lbs so not much heavier than a 20-70mm full-frame
Very well controlled chromatic aberration
LoCA very clean and well-controlled
Very little ghosting from flare
Sun stars are ok
Bokeh can get a little onion ringy, but not much cats eye in the corner
Great lens for a camera like the GFX50R since there is no IBIS on that camera
Very quick AF with its linear motor
A very sharp lens that delivers on the GFX100
Center very sharp and the corners even wide open
Minimal focusing distance isn’t amazingly close
Very consistent and high sharpness
For video there is linear and nonlinear focus ring options
There is a lot of focus breathing at the wide and telephoto end so it isn’t ideal for video
It would be hard to use just this lens all-day
You can use it for portraiture
If you want really shallow depth of field you will want the GF110mm f/2
Equal to about an f/3.2 in full-frame terms
For architecture, you might want something wider
The OIS is fantastic for the non-IBIS bodies

Last week we posted a bunch of general Fujifilm tutorials from this From The Workbench series, which you can watch here. We also shared some X-T4 tutorials that Fujifilm released, which you can see here. Below is a summary of what the above contains:

Firmware Updates

Sometimes lenses or cameras have minor bugs that can be fixed with a firmware
Fujifilm also uses firmware to make your camera or lenses better and faster
Some examples are Fujifilm has added Faster AF, New Film Simulations, and Improved Battery Life
Fujifilm is even updating discontinued cameras at no charge
You can download all your firmware updates via the computer and put them on your SD card from here
Firmware updates can also be downloaded via the smartphone app, but that will be covered another time
If you download multiple files and they are labeled with (#) you must remove the number from the file name for it to work eg XFUP0037 (1).DAT must be XFUP0037.DAT to work
You can load firmware for your camera and multiple lenses from one transfer
Put the SD card in your camera and then press and hold the display back button while turning the camera on
Once the white screen shows up you can let go of the display back button and then follow the directions
Make sure your batteries are charged and do not remove them during the process
