Cinema5D got an inside look at the production of the Fujifilm GFX100 and you can view part one here. Part two takes place in the spring of 2019 with them receiving a prototype camera. Below are excerpts:

Had an error the first time they started the prototype camera
Went on another factory tour in Taiwan
They show the sensor assembly in a clean room
Followed by the CMOS and IBIS being assembled and put in the body by hand
One person assembles the entire top of the camera
All of the buttons and dials are checked by hand
It’s kind of interesting they put the adhesive tape on the camera body before applying the leather
The first batch of GFX100 produced are shown at the end of the tour then back to Toyko
Cinima5D had to wait for a firmware update to shoot their prototype camera
Only had the prototype for 12 hours and they were given 3-batteries
Lots of preproduction video
The camera wasn’t 100% ready, but the potential was already there
Coverage of the prep for the launch event
Toshihisa Lida was there and said he hoped to get “completely drunk” once the event concluded to release some stress
The day of the launch Cinima5D ran into Masazumi Imai right before the announcement and he compared it to giving birth
Everyone had some Saki after the event concluded to celebrate

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
