Let’s Enjoy the Mirrorless Price War – Last Day (Maybe) to Save $1,000 on Fujifilm X/GFX Gear


Recommended Posts

eXtended X/GFX Deals In theory, this is the last day of Fujifilm X and GFX deals. I say in theory, as lately Fujifilm (and all other manufacturers), just keep up chronically discounting all their gear. See for example: Canon EOS…

Yes, I surely hope the GFX deals come back as I was planning on buying one.  But I just couldn't get the funds together in time to beat the deadline.  I would hate to see them keep the price high as that adds another $1,000 and eliminates me from buying one.  I will be looking at a full frame camera unless the prices come down again.  I hate to do that as I have been a Fuji user for a number of years now having come from Nikon.  Is it back to Nikon now?

I can't imagine Fuji would not go back to the sale prices.  They were on sale for such a long period time I'm surprised they ended it, and who is going to buy a GFX now when they were $1,000 (camera and lens) cheaper.  The higher prices won't help Fuji clean house if they are planning a new model.  Is that what is coming (the new registered number)?  I doubt it.  Fuji was really smart to make medium format "affordable" and even smarter to put them on sale.  With ending the sale, have they put it out of reach of many photographers now?  I hope not.

    • I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.
    • I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results. 
    • Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
