Fujifilm Announce The New GXF100 II And Three Lenses

The GFX100 II features the newly-developed 102MP high-speed image sensor ”GFX 102MP CMOS II HS” and the high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5” to deliver up to double the signal readout speed compared to the current model*2. It is a new flagship model of the GFX Series that provides significant performance improvement in continuous shooting, AF and video recording.

The GFX100 II boasts superior image quality thanks to the use of the large format sensor that produces rich tonal reproducibility and strong three-dimensional definitions. In addition, the latest high-speed image sensor coupled with the high-speed image processing engine has made it possible to bring the AI-based subject-detection AF developed with Deep Learning technology as well as the latest prediction AF algorithm developed with the X-H2S to the GFX Series for the first time. The burst shooting performance has also improved from the current*4 5.0 frames per second to 8.0 frames per second*3 to broaden the scope of genres from fashion, commercial and landscape categories to sports and news photography, where high-speed performance is essential.

The use of the new sensor has also led to significant enhancement of video recording performance. The camera can record 4K/60P 4:2:2 10-bit video internally and supports 8K/30P video for the first time in the GFX Series. It also offers the new “Video Format” modes to take advantage of the large format sensor’s characteristics. The camera supports various cine recording formats, including Premista, 35mm, and anamorphic (35mm) with the mount adapter. This accommodates video recording in a versatile range of situations, complemented also by the enhanced sensor readout speed and the tracking AF.

Performance enhancement is also brought to system expandability. The GFX100 II body features an Ethernet port as well as HDMI Type A and USB-C terminals for added connectivity of external devices. Support for the cloud service “Frame.io Camera to Cloud” and timecode synch with ATMOS AirGlu™*5 BT streamlines users’ workflow.

Image quality has also been enhanced with the introduction of non-extended ISO80 sensitivity and the Film Simulation mode “REALA ACE.” Hardware improvements include the up to 8-stop*6 five-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS), 1.0x viewfinder magnification, and 9.44-million-dot high-magnification and high-definition EVF. The camera body’s new design features include a large sub-LCD, tilted top panel and a new texture. The GFX100 II represents evolution from the current model in all areas to cater to the needs of professional photographers and videographers.

FUJINON Lens GF30mm F5.6 and

Fujifilm is pleased to announce the release of the tilt shift lens FUJINON Lens GF30mmF5.6 T/S (GF30mmF5.6 T/S) and the tilt shift macro lens FUJINON Lens GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro (GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro) in late autumn 2023. The new lenses, capable of tilt-shift photography, join the lineup interchangeable lenses for the GFX Series of Fujifilm’s mirrorless digital cameras equipped with the large-format sensor*1 measuring 1.7 times that of the 35mm full-frame sensor.

The GF30mmF5.6 T/S and GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro offers the tilt function of tiling their optical axis and the shift function of moving their optical axis in parallel to alter how the optical axis relates to the imaging plane and intentionally manipulate areas in focus and perspective.

This caters to the needs of professional photographers who want to explore composition and shooting positions freely in architecture, landscape and commercial photography.

FUJINON Lens GF55mmF1.7 R WR

Fujifilm is pleased to announce the release of the FUJINON Lens GF55mmF1.7 R WR (GF55mmF1.7 R WR). The new lens joins the lineup of GF lenses, i.e., interchangeable lenses for the GFX Series of Fujifilm’s mirrorless digital cameras equipped with the large format sensor*1 measuring 1.7 times that of the 35mm full-frame sensor.

The GF55mmF1.7 R WR is a large-aperture prime lens with the standard focal length of 55mm (equivalent to 44mm in the 35mm film format). The large format’s enriched descriptive capability is combined with the creamy bokeh characteristic of the large maximum aperture, making the main subject stand out against blurred background. The lens’s focal length gives the field of view close to that of human vision to create a natural perspective. This makes it ideal for information-dense snapshots to capture how the main subject relates to the background, as well as portraiture with a tack-sharp subject against beautiful bokeh. The focal length of 55mm is the same as the diagonal measurement of GFX Series’ signature large-format sensor, which has the dimensions of 43.8mm x 32.9mm. The large-aperture GF55mmF1.7 R WR prime lens is a new addition to Fujifilm’s lineup of interchangeable lenses that brings out the best of large format cameras.
