By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 11, 2018

Mario C. Shared these concepts a few days ago in our comments section if you missed them. It’s nice that other sites are picking up our Fujifilm GFX R rumor that goes all the way back to last year, but it sure would be great if proper credit was given. Anyways keep up the great work readers and don’t forget to join our Fujifilm GFX Owners Group where you can find more concepts and discussion. We are just as excited as you are about all the photographers that will be joining the Fujifilm GFX ecosystem going forward and we can’t wait to see how the system develops as a result.
