Super fast lens coming for the GFX system: Fujinon GF 80mm f/1.4….in Full Frame that’s f/1.1!

The GFX currently lacks real fast primes. But if the rumor Fujirumors shared is correct Fuji will announce a new 80mm f/1.4 lens in 2018. For the record in FF equivalent terms this is a 63mm f/1.1 Nerd at this point will tell me I didn’t calculate the aspect ratio different. But that will make little difference and I didn’t know how to do it :)

Because a reader expressed concern on how to calculate an MF to FF equivalence feel free to use that online tool for yourself to check my math. Here is a screenshot of the result:

I repeat this does yet not take into account the frame ratio difference.

That said this will give you a real Bokeh-Orgasm and create some real nice medium format look….or maybe we just will imagine it will have that :)

Is RED going to announce a new modular mirrorless system on July 6?

Jim Jannard is teasing the launch of a new kind of product:

“July 6th. 9am PST. Right here. You need to be online. You need to tell everyone you know to be online. Have your credit card ready. This is a new product category. It does not impact your RED camera.”

We don’t know what RED will announced on that day bu Newsshooter speculates that this might be modular camera system which was patented by RED some time ago.
