Arriving for Review: Fujifilm GFX100 II + Fujifilm GF 55mm f/1.7
Fujifilm GFX100 II | Fujifilm GF 30mm f/5.6 TS | Fujifilm GF 110mm f/5.6 TS | Fujifilm GF 55mm f/1.7 WR.
The Fujifilm GF100 II and Fujifilm GF 55mm f/1.7 are on the way and I should have them by Friday. I’ll be testing them in the Eastern Sierra soon. Regrettably, the 30mm and 110mm tilt/shift lenses will not ship until Nov 1.
The GFX100 II is claimed to have better image quality off-center. Visibly better?
Redesigned microlenses improve light coverage at the corners of the sensor, delivering better image quality and increased AF accuracy at the periphery of the lens.
Marketing claims like these are pretty darn annoying: is it 1/6 stop less noise, better sharpness (how much?), what...? The focusing aspect is such a low bar (terrible in the GFX100S) that any improvement is welcome for AF.
Firmware version 1.1
Fujifilm already has a firmware update for the GFX100 II.
Now if Fujfilm would just fix the broken Focus BKT behavior. They’ve had 5 years to get it right.
