Nope, that lens would stick out way too much. For my needs f4 is good enough most of the time and when it gets dim, I’ll up the iso. This camera is all about compactness…there are many other ways to faster glass.

I'll wait serious reviews to see the lens performance. If it's not outstanding corner to corner at f4, I'll get 40 f2.5 for my A7rv for street photography and hiking, it's not really larger setup, or wait for a voigtlander 28 apo.

Does Fuji still limit the maximum auto ISO to 12800? This camera seems like a great reason to allow setting that higher. I have never understood why they place a hard limit on the max auto iso, to begin with.

51200 on the regular GFX models in extended range. Been that way for many years.

Soooo, how is the "typical" super high geometric distortion that has to be corrected with software?

Ah so is this just out of date? I'm pretty sure the top auto ISO was 12800 when I had a 100S https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/gfx100s/taking_photo/iso/#auto_sensitivity

My 100S goes to 51,200. Both it and 25,600 are labeled (H).

Native is 12,800 on the 100S then up to 102,400 is High ISO mode. Which is only available with the shutter set for Manual. Took me a hour one day trying to figure that out.

Yep, I know higher ISOs are available. But in the past, one could not configure auto ISO to use them. It was also limited to 1/500s as the fastest shutter speed. I don't know why Fuji decided limitations like these made sense.

It should be fine as long as lens clears it as it goes back and forth for focusing. The problem is the lens will suck dust while focusing and hood might give some protection, but it will not be sealing the focus mechanism. Usually that is where the dust goes in esp if you are doing what she is showing eg lintels from your pocket can easily goes inside the hood/lens... Review videos doesn't show any lens flare, so I would rather keep the filter ring with filter rather than the hood. That is what I am doing with X100VI.

This was a good write-up - thanks for sharing - the only thing to note is that the Q3 lens isn't all that sharp in 2025 if they're trying to make the image quality argument. There's quite a few full frame lenses that would beat the Q3 lens in a similar comparison.
It will be interesting to see how it performs compared to say a top notch lens like the Q3 43mm APO even if the focal length is a bit different to see how much of a difference medium format truly makes.
I canceled my preorders but after reading this..signed up for another pre-order. It's certainly worth a try.

If moving a lens back and forth to focus "sucks dust, then how does the supposedly sealed lens move back and forth without also moving air to account for the changing internal volume of the lens?

Of course it must move air, but if there is a seal in front of the lens, air will move from one side of the lens to the other without any opening to the surrounding environment.

As Makten said above, you are sealing the lens mechanism from environment to prevent the most common dust on the sensor issue with P&S cameras:

I've shot the V for 4 years and never seen dust on the sensor, and have anecdotally only ever seen a single report of it (vs nearly everyone that's shot a Ricoh that long). That said, it lives with a filter and hood. This is such a dumb discussion.
