Fujifilm likes to keep people informed about upcoming lenses and about once a year they offer up a roadmap that outlines lens release for the next 12-24 months.
This most recent GF lens roadmap was unveiled in January 2020 and from it we can see two as-yet-unreleased lenses:
- GF 30mm f/3.5 R WR – This lens was launched on June 30th 2020
- GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR
Portrait photographers will certainly be looking forwards to the 80mm lens with the widest aperture yet on a GF lens at f/1.7. 80mm. Such a lens on the GF format would be equivalent to a 63mm f/1.4 lens in 35mm terms and should provide some serious bokeh.
Landscape and travel photographers on the other hand will be looking forward to the 30mm f/3.5 lens, which is equivalent to a 24mm field of view on a 35mm camera. I’m actually amazed that Fuji hasn’t had a 24mm-equivalent prime lens for this system up to this point, and for me it fills a glaring gap in the lineup. I personally love the 24mm field of view and at one point considered buying into the GFX system, but the lack of a 24mm-equivalent prime lens stopped me pursuing that idea for too long. I know there was the 32-64mm zoom (25-64mm equivalent) but I tried that and was somewhat underwhelmed. Perhaps I will reconsider someday when this new prime lens comes out..

Hi Dan, do you by chance know of any tutorials on working the camera and it’s settings?
Not right now I’m afraid.
