One More Fujifilm GFX100RF Teaser – The Aspect Ratio Dial and Some Thoughts

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 19, 2025

The Fujifilm GFX100RF is right around the corner and it will be interesting to see how it does. It will either be impossible to find like the Fujifilm X100VI or miss the mark which could be a setback for Fujifilm. The retro camera scene is huge, but I am not sure that it can absorb a $5,000 camera the way it has sucked up all the X100 that Fujifilm can produce.

If the Fujifilm GFX100RF does not sell well I believe that it will be the product of two errors. First Fujifilm should have preserved and improved the hybrid viewfinder from the X100VI and second Fujifilm should have created a faster lens with f/2.8 being ideal and f/3.5 being acceptable. Focal length could also be an issue, but that is always the case with a fixed lens and Fujifilm could release adapters like they have for the X100 in the future.

MAP Camera 2025 February Rankings – Fujifilm #1 Again

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 15, 2025


Fujifilm X100VI Silver and Black:
B&H Photo / Amazon (Silver : Black) / Moment / Adorama

The Fujifilm X100VI is the top-selling camera at MAP Cameras, followed by the Fujifilm X-T50 in 6th place. The Fujifilm X100VI was announced over 1 year ago, but it is still incredibly popular and difficult to find. It will be interesting to see if sales can remain consistently strong if Fujifilm can ever produce enough to satisfy demand since scarcity makes things more desirable.

February ranking of new digital cameras

No.8NikonZ fMirrorless interchangeable-lens camera
No.9LeicaD-LUX8Compact digital camera
No.10SONYα7IVMirrorless interchangeable-lens camera

MAP Camera also made an interesting statement about the Fujifilm X100VI.

The FUJIFILM X100VI took first place. This is the first time it has been in first place since May 2024. It was released at the end of March 2024. It was a hot topic even before its release and attracted a lot of attention. Naturally, we were flooded with inquiries, but the supply from the manufacturer could not keep up at all… We only received orders for the number of cameras scheduled for the first shipment, and we were in an unusual situation where we could not even take new reservations for any more than that. Since then, we have continued to sell the product by accepting orders for the number of cameras we received each time we received a shipment, and we have continued to do so to this day.

The number of products we receive has gradually increased, and it has often appeared in the top rankings. And now it has won first place. We have mixed emotions about its first place ranking, as many people have not been able to get their hands on it yet due to timing issues. It has been almost a year since its release, but its popularity has not waned at all. Its appeal has been featured in various content up to now. Its popularity seems to have been further fueled by its difficulty in obtaining it. We are eager to see how it will rank once the supply stabilizes and we are able to take orders as usual.

There is also a statement about the Fujifilm X-T50 also.

In sixth place is the FUJIFILM X-T50, which dropped from fourth place last time. Although it has dropped two places in the rankings, the number of units sold has dropped significantly compared to last time. There seems to have been a slight shortage of silver recently, but even taking that into account, the drop is large, and it is a cause for concern as new models from other manufacturers are scheduled to be released in the future.

PP: Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary Review – A Solid Travel Lens

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 15, 2025

 

Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary:
B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Petapixel published its review of the Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary, which you can watch in full above or check out the excerpts below:

  • Super zooms are convenient, but we haven’t seen many for mirrorless
  • A lens like this is aimed at torists
  • They tested the lens on a full-frame camera that gives 26MP when cropped to APS-C, so it should be representative of performance on a high-end APS-C camera
  • Compact and takes 67mm filters while weighing 615g
  • Weather sealed
  • It has a tight zoom with a locking switch, so creeping isn’t an issue
  • The manual focus ring is ok
  • 6-stop IBIS in lens
  • Autofocus is quick and accurate with HLA motors
  • Impressive 1:2 macro at 70mm
  • You can work close, but there isn’t much working distance, so the shadow of the lens might get in the way
  • Sharpness is fine at 70mm up close but not amazing
  • Very good at preventing flare
  • No ghosting
  • Not great bokeh because it is busy with some onion rigs
  • There is some digital correction of chromatic aberration and distortion with some vignetting
  • Super zoom lenses are generally going to need some correction so that is fine
  • The center is decently sharp at 16mm f/3.5, but the corners will need some stopping down, but are always a little blurry
  • At 300mm, sharpness is excellent, and the corners are improved with only a bit of softness, but the corners won’t get super sharp, which is ok for most applications
  • 16-300m is a huge range that is largely for travel photographers
