This just in—B&H has announced a price of $1,000 off the Fuji GFX 50R body, which they're selling for $3,499 with a free bag and 64GB card. Thought you'd want to know.

Gear o' The Week:
If I could shoot with any 50mm focal-length-equivalent lens, it would not be unobtanium: it would be the relatively modest, relatively slow, relatively older Pentax 35mm ƒ/2.8 DA Macro Limited on APS-C. I don't know how it measures and couldn't care less. If you care first and foremost about pictures, especially prints, this is one beautiful lens. Luverly. As a normal too.

B&H Photo also has the Magic Macro, naturally.

I can't shoot a camera like the 50r because I make a weird squinchy face when I shoot. I need the viewfinder in the middle to kind of hide it. You never see anybody talk about this in their reviews. :D

I feel sorry for anyone who wants one of these lenses; I'm sure the price just went through the roof! There you go again, Mike!
[No, they're still available new. MJ]

The Pentax DA limited lenses are fabulous. I used to have Pentax gear, and had several of the DA limited lenses. Small, well made, and make beautiful photos. I really wish Pentax hadn't let their camera line just kind of whither away...

Geez, cheaper than a used Leica M10.

$1K off AND it's a nice bag!

Well, 50 megapixels puts it in the range of the Nikon Z7II, and that body is only about $3k (or the D850 for about $600 less). Of course, the lenses for the Nikons are a lot cheaper.
