One of the core promises of the mirrorless Fujifilm GFX 50s is to make medium-format as accessible in the field as it is in the studio. On January 17, Fujifilm revealed a new lens designed to deliver on that promise. The GF 100-200mm F5.6 R is a weather resistant, relatively lightweight, 2x telephoto zoom with impressive optical image stabilization rated for 5 stops of shake reduction.
At about 2.3 pounds, the midrange telephoto lens — which has a full-frame equivalent focal length of 79-158mm — is perhaps not a lightweight by the standards of smaller formats, but to put it into context, it’s only about 3 ounces heavier than the GF 120mm F4 prime lens. That gives outdoor photographers a workable zoom range requiring barely any extra heft, while the high-powered stabilization motor means you could also leave the tripod at home, saving even more weight.
Optically, the GF 100-200mm is composed of 20 glass elements that are organized in 13 groups. Two extra-low-dispersion elements and a single aspherical element are used to control chromatic aberration and field curvature, respectively. The nine-bladed aperture features a maximum f-stop of f/5.6 throughout the entire zoom range and can be stopped down to f/32. The lens features a close-focus distance of 0.6 meters, or about 2 feet, and uses a 67mm front filter thread.
Additionally, wildlife photographers will be pleased to learn that it is compatible with Fujifilm’s 1.4x teleconverter, which is also weather resistant, giving more reach without sacrificing durability.
Autofocus is achieved with the latest Fujifilm linear motor, advertised as being both quiet and fast. From using other LM-equipped lenses, the quiet we can attest to — but in our experience, focusing speed on the GFX 50s is always limited by the camera, which relies on a slow contrast-detection autofocus system. However, with Fujifilm’s prototype GFX 100-megapixel concept camera advertising phase-detection autofocus, we expect current GF lenses will perform faster on future cameras.
At $2,000, the new lens is priced right where we would expect it for GF zoom; the sole other zoom in the series — the GF 32-64mm f/4 — currently sells for about $2,085. The GF 100-200mm f/5.6 will be available in late February 2019.
Fujifilm just gave its most popular instant camera a serious digital upgrade. The Instax Mini Evo 2 now comes with a touchscreen, larger sensor, and a video feature that captures four seconds before each photo. It is set to arrive by the end of November for $289.95.

Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.
Sigma FP2 brings faster shooting and 6K video
A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
