Fujifilm has announced the GFX 50R, a smaller and lighter rangefinder style version of their popular GFX 50S with a more affordable price! Back in 2017, Fujifilm shocked the world with their announcement of the GFX 50S, a SLR style Medium Format camera at PHP 366,990 (or USD 5,499 + Tax for the body only) compared to the competition with the same sensor like the Mamiya Leaf Credo 50 that starts at USD 23,995 (or PHP 1.26 Million + Tax for the body only). Within those two years, Fujifilm was able to release 7 lenses with three more to be release by 2020.
