Ever since relieving myself of my XF+5 lens boat anchor I celebrated. But now I like my 50R so much that I am debating ditching the Phase Achromatic/Alpa 5 lens kit altogether some day for the Fuji 100 and thus having only one lens system to carry.So my choice is Blue Ring lenses on my XF/IQ4 150 vs the awesome GFX 100? Obviously Dante says Doh - both! But I’m torn because the IQ4 is a level above in image quality but not versatility. The GFX 100 with my full set of GF lenses is superb. The IQ4 & XF boat anchor plus the best SK XF lenses and my tech cam lenses are a level above. However, I’ll carry my GFX everyday but the IQ4 systems only on special occasions ... ugh.

Gerald the Grip ( at its high point - around top of grip) extends about 20mm from the actual front body and about 15mm from the actual lens mount which is about 5mm proud of the body.Hi all -
Would someone with a GFX100 be so kind as to measure the distance that the grip extends out from the lens mount (not the front surface of the camera - the actual lens mount). Additionally what are the dimensions of the camera with the viewfinder removed?
If/when Fuji get around to implementing multi-shot on this camera, I will seriously consider it for my CAPcam, but need to know what mounting challenges I may face.
Kind regards,
Gerald.
Hi Pete -Gerald the Grip ( at its high point - around top of grip) extends about 20mm from the actual front body and about 15mm from the actual lens mount which is about 5mm proud of the body.
Around the middle of the grip ( center ) teh grip extends about 15mm and is 10mm from actual lens mount.
The bottom grip extends about 3-4mm less than main grip at its center.

Give John at Camera Exchange a call.At the Fujifilm place at Tokyo Midtown yesterday I had a chat with one of the guys about the GFX 100. In Aussie stock is tough to come by. He said it's a global issue and very tough in Japan to get stock. Not sure when it would get better!
