Fujinon GF 23mm f4 R LM WR and 110mm f2 R LM WR April 19th Announcement Confirmed

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 14, 2017

The April 19th announcement of the Fujinon GF 23mm f4 R LM WR and Fujinon GF 110mm f2 R LM WR has now been publicly confirmed by another reliably source Nokishita for announcement April 19th. We also should have accurate pricing or at least close to considering the prices are from from January 16th, since they came from our source that provided the original GFX price and other past breaking rumors on FujiAddict, which other sites later copied.

  • Fujinon GF 23mm f/4 R LM WR (Mid 2017): $2,599
  • Fujinon GF 45mm f/2.8 R WR (Late 2017): $1,699
  • Fujinon GF 110mm f/2 R LM (Mid 2017): $2799

I am probably going to buy the Fujinon GF 23mm f/4 LM WR initially followed by the GF 110mm f/2 R LM. Both should be excellent lenses for the GFX, but I want to go wide with the GFX. The Instax SQ and Instax SQ10 are also expected to launch on April 19th.

Gramas Extra Glass For Fujifilm GFX 50S

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 13, 2017


I have been disappointed by a few screen protectors for my Fujifilm GFX 50S already and they were not cheap. Hopefully the Gramas Screen protector will be better than the 3 I have tried so far.

“Silver Co., Ltd. will release “Extra Camera Glass DCG-FJ01 FUJIFILM GFX 50S” for April 19th as a new product of GRAMAS brands’ LCD glass protective glass “Extra Camera Glass”. The suggested retail price is 2,500 yen by tax.

Extra Glass is a series that GRAMAS known as smartphone case brand optimized protective glass technology developed for smartphones for digital cameras. Silver one is in charge of supervision of the product.

Using high-grade glass manufactured by Asahi Glass Co., Ltd., which has a surface hardness of 9 H and transparency, it is excellent in wear resistance and impact resistance, and it prevents scratches from being taken in and out of the camera. Moreover, fingerprints and the like are difficult to adhere due to the antifouling coating.

The edges of the glass are subjected to round-edge processing by hand, taking safety into consideration.

GFX 50S is a medium-sized mirrorless camera equipped with a CMOS sensor with 51.40 million pixels effective at 43.8 x 32.9 mm. Adopt a new G mount. Release is February. The actual price of only the body is around 800,000 yen including tax.”

Fujifilm GFX 50S vs Leica S2 vs Pentax 645Z vs Hasselblad H6D-50c and More

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 12, 2017

The Fujifilm GFX 50S is no slouch taking on cameras many times it’s price with ease. The next generation of medium format cameras will be the most interesting of all because the GFX should cause a shake up among manufactures. Competition is good for consumers. Lets hope legacy companies don’t rest on their laurels.

Fujifilm GFX 50S vs Leica S2 vs Pentax 645Z vs Hasselblad H6D-50c – “In conclusion, I would say that the main advantage of 50S I see here is that this camera is very lively, it is largely the work is perceived as familiar to many cameras 35mm format. This means that if there is a need to switch to medium format, other things being equal, I would take it FUJIFILM GFX 50S”

Fujifilm X-T20 vs Canon 5D Mark III and More

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 11, 2017

The Fujifilm X-T20 is an incredible value for those not quite in the market for a camera as feature packed as the Fujifilm X-T2. It’s also a great backup body for those looking to save some. It even compares well to more expensive professional cameras like the Canon 5D Mark III.

Xatakafoto – “All in all, the Fujifilm X-T20 is certainly a very attractive camera that offers power and image quality in a small and very colorful.”

Huffington Post – “If you are a lover of cameras, photography, or just love the retro look, the Fujifilm X-T20 mirrorless camera offers amazing quality for the price.”

Focus-Numerique – The Fujifilm Hybrid enclosure gains performance (photo and video) and therefore versatility. It is cheaper than its big brother the X-T2, it allows to access the image quality of Fujifilm while saving money to invest in a fixed focal length (f / 2 series is very tempting …).

Johncaz – Overall i enjoyed the stylish and very functional X-T20 and was very impressed with the image quality and speed of operation, though I must admit, the X-T series was already on the small size, so going smaller seems like a negative point to me.
