Following the official introduction of the Fujifilm GFX100 on May 23rd, 2019 Cambo is pleased to announce a dedicated interface for mounting, and supporting this new flagship camera in the GFX line of products.

As a result of the different body design compared to the Fujifilm GFX50 series, the bayonet holder for the GFX100 will have a different shape than the existing holder AC-792, and includes an extra riser block for the front standard.

Cambo’s new AC-795, designed as an interchangeable bayonet holder kit, will be compatible with the current Actus-G series.

However, due to the design changes of the Fujifilm GFX100 body, this needs to be positioned on a higher distance to allow enough clearance. This results in an additional 30mm riser block to be needed for the front standard. As well as an additional spacer that needs to be added on the rear bayonet mount.

Because of this additional flange spacing the Actar-60, and some other wider angle lens options will not be able reach infinity setting with this kit.

NOTE: Alternatively the Fujifilm GFX100 will fit the Actus-GFX unchanged, in portrait orientation only without the need for the additional spacer, but because of the new design the AC-795 is required for landscape orientation.

The interface kit AC-795 will be available shortly and can be pre-ordered as of today from your dealer of choice B&H Photo / Adorama / Amazon

Fujifilm and Hasselblad have had mainstream 44 x 33mm medium format photograph to themselves for around 2 years now and while Hasselblad has been off to a rocky start with the original X1D, Fujifilm has been quite strong. I haven’t really kept up with the X1D because the system was light years behind the GFX in performance, but now with the Hasselblad X1D II 50C coming, I think it is worth taking a second look.

I tried to compare how they stack up size wise via camerasize, but they only have a limited amount of lenses at this time. Hasselblad currently has 9 lenses out for the X1D while Fujifilm has 8 lenses and 3 mainstream third party lenses. Hasselblad has focused on wider/faster glass while Fujifilm has spread its glass releases out a little more.

It’s interesting that even with a leaf shutter inside most XCD lenses are more compact than equivalent GFX lenses, but the price of XCD glass is significantly higher than GFX glass. Fujifilm enjoys a pretty significant price advantage over Hasselblad when it comes to glass and even the camera body, but the GFX can’t match the size of the XCD at this time.

It will be interesting to see what kind of X1D discounts come in the future since Fujifilm has pretty much regularly discounted their glass across the board $500 for GFX. Not to mention the discounts on the GFX50R/GFX50S that have seen savings as high as $1,000. If Hasselblad is serious about taking on Fujifilm they are going to have to bring their prices down some for the time being. I very much doubt they can take a bite out of Fujifilm with their announcement today considering that their glass is almost universally 1.5x+ more expensive than Fujifilm without any discounts.
