Fuji Announces New Lenses for Fuji GFX 50s and a Signficant Firmware Update

[fotagf8]

Fuji has announced two new lenses (actually, the lenses had been announced before, but no firm availability date was given):

FUJINON GF110mmF2 R LM WR Key Features

FUJINON GF 23mmF4 LM WR

Official Press Release: http://www.fujifilm.com/news/n170419_01.html

At the same time, Fuji announced that it will be releasing a telephoto prime lens in 2018 (the diagram makes it appear that the release will be early in 2018, but not entirely clear)

Fuji also announced a new firmware update for the GFX 50s, stating: 

These firmware updates will add new function for computer tethering via Wi-Fi and improve operability in exposure compensation and autofocus performance in difficult scenes.

  The release will be available in late May 2017.

I found out about these developments on FujiAddict, which is an excellent source of information for the Fuji GFX.

 Jonas Rask has an excellent field review of both lenses up on the closed GFX facebook site as well as on his own Blog, with a lot of his pics done with these lenses from his last week Iceland trip plus thoughts on the weather proofing of both lenses and the body. BTW you are eligible to join the closed site as a GFX user/owner.

I am a member already, thank you.  If it is the same person, there is also an excellent video of a trip to Iceland.  The weather is intriguing.

Looks like a 250mm F4. OIS but showing no LM which is not a great solution as the 63 also doesn't have the LM and it's considerably slower than the 120mm or 32-64mm.

Looking forward to the 23mm.
