More Fujifilm GFX 50S videos have surfaced from recent trade shows. You can now see how the Fujinon GF 63mm f/2.8 R WR focus via the touch screen, which is a little faster than our previous AF video. There is also a two part video of Jan Gonzales working with the Fujifilm GFX 50S live with Niko Villegas below.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 3, 2017


DXO is offering an older version of there DXO OpticsPro9 software for free until February 28th, 2017. It only supports older Fujifilm cameras and will likely never be updated, but it’s worth getting a copy if you own other cameras or wish to learn OpticsPro.

Fujifilm GFX 50S Shipments March 1st, 2017

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 3, 2017


It was originally announced that Shipments would begin February 24th, but a few days ago B&H Photo changed their shipment date to March 1st, 2017 (other sites usually follow B&H). I was working on something special for Fujiaddict and LeicaRumors, along with a friend of the blog that might be moving to Fujifilm very soon, that I hope to complete before the GFX launch so I am a bit behind on the news.

Let’s hope that the GFX doesn’t slip much further. I am already trying to make plans for my GFX review, which will hopefully include some readers. If you’re interested in participating feel free to reach out via the GFX owners group,  GFX Owners Page, FujiAddict Page, Twitter, Contact Form, Smoke Signals…

If you haven’t already pre-ordered a GFX now might be a good time to get in line.

Fujifilm Fiscal Year FY2017/3 Financial Report

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 1, 2017

  • In the photo imaging business, while the overall sales decreased due to the negative impact of yen appreciation and other factors, the sales of instant photo systems such as the instax series and instax films, were strong especially in the United States and Europe. The high-value-added printing businesses such as the photobook services expanded.
  •  In the electronic imaging field, the sales increased due to the sales of such flagship models of the mirrorless digital camera as FUJIFILM X-Pro2 and FUJIFILM X-T2, and interchangeable lenses increased steadily.
  •  In the optical device field, the sales decreased due to the sales decrease of camera modules for use in smartphones.

Mr. Haruki’s Fujifilm GFX 50S Impressions

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 30, 2017

DC.Watch has an editorial by Mr. Haruki about the Fujifilm GFX 50S that is a little difficult to read via google translate, but I pulled out a few quotes to share.

“Since GFX 50S is compact, it is not conscious of being a middle-sized camera”

“It is smaller than I imagined at all and it is almost the same size as the existing 35 mm full size digital SLR camera. Rather, on a weight basis, GFX is surprisingly slightly lighter.”

“Both launch and AF seems to be responsive with agile movement.”

“You can use it in a sense close to 35 mm in any field such as landscape, fashion, commodity, snap, architecture, portrait.”

His impressions as a medium format shooter are interesting, but it isn’t clear why he was unable to give any impressions about the image quality. This could be an issue with google translate. There is also a great comparison shot (seen above) of the Fujifilm X-T2 and GFX 50s along with the Fujifilm H mount adapter on camera (below). Read More »
