The accessories I'd buy again. Links open Amazon in your country.

Lenses

PancakeG mount

Fujifilm GF50mmF3.5 R LM WR

A 40mm-equivalent pancake that keeps the GFX50R about as compact as medium format gets: the classic street pairing.

Everyday primeG mount

Fujifilm GF63mmF2.8 R WR

A 50mm-equivalent prime, light and sharp, often bundled with the GFX50R.

VintageAdapter

Mamiya 645 to GFX adapter

Old Mamiya 645 lenses cover the GFX sensor and give a classic look for little money, as in the channel short.

Menu simulator

A working copy of the GFX50R menu, laid out like the owner's manual: every tab, page and item. Click an item, or hover the simulator and use your arrow keys. The GFX50R has one menu for photos and movies: movie options are in the MOVIE SETTING tab. Press DRIVE for drive modes, including MOVIE. There is no mode dial: the shutter speed dial and the lens aperture ring set the exposure mode. Each item explains what it does and what to set it to.

      Menu names and descriptions follow the official GFX50R owner's manual. Starting values in the simulator are typical defaults and may differ from your camera. Recommendations are mine.

      Mode finder

      There's no mode dial

      The GFX50R picks its exposure mode from where the aperture ring and shutter dial sit, like a film camera. Set them here to see which mode you're in.
