Fujifilm Debuts Fragment Edition of the GFX100RF
Fujifilm has introduced a limited-edition version of its fixed-lens medium-format camera, the GFX100RF, created in collaboration with the Japanese brand Fragment Design led by Hiroshi Fujiwara. The Fragment Edition retains the technical specifications of the standard model but differs substantially in its exterior treatment, accessories, and the inclusion of a custom black-and-white film simulation.
The camera’s hardware remains unchanged: it continues to use Fujifilm’s 102-megapixel CMOS II medium-format sensor paired with the X-Processor 5 and relies on a fixed 35mm f/4 lens that offers a 28mm full-frame equivalent field of view. The leaf shutter design enables flash synchronization at all shutter speeds, and a built-in four-stop neutral-density filter allows for exposure control without external filters. The hybrid autofocus system operates with 425 detection points and supports subject-recognition algorithms for humans, animals, and various vehicles. Other specifications, including the 5.76-million-dot electronic viewfinder, 6 fps continuous shooting, and the aspect-ratio dial, remain identical to the standard GFX100RF.
The Fragment Edition diverges from the regular production model in its physical construction: the top plate and main body are made of anodized aluminum that is polished by hand, resulting in a glossy, mirror-like black surface that contrasts with the matte texture of the newly developed grip material. This grip differs from the rubberized finish of the standard GFX100RF and is smoother and finer in texture. Fragment Design’s double lightning-bolt emblem appears discreetly on the body and on the included accessories.
The accompanying components have been redesigned to match the camera’s finish. The lens hood, lens cap, adapter ring, and hot shoe cover all feature the same polished black treatment and the Fragment logo. The package also includes a leather strap cut from a single piece of material without seams or stitching. When powered on, the camera displays Fragment’s logo in place of the standard startup screen.
In addition to the cosmetic changes, the Fragment Edition introduces a dedicated film simulation preset named FRGMT BW. Based on Fujifilm’s Acros simulation, it modifies tone curves, grain, sharpness, clarity, and noise-reduction parameters to produce a harsher, more contrast-oriented monochrome rendering. Highlight and shadow contrast is increased, sharpness and noise reduction are reduced, and clarity is raised significantly. The preset also applies a small positive exposure compensation, a detail not typically implemented within Fujifilm’s film simulation system. In this edition, Fujifilm has removed the standard monochrome filter options, leaving FRGMT BW as the primary black-and-white mode. Although the Japanese company has published the parameters for users of compatible cameras, the Fragment Edition is the only model where the simulation is pre-installed rather than manually recreated.

The camera is positioned as a collector-focused variant rather than a technical update. Fujifilm has restricted availability to Japan, where the model is distributed exclusively through a lottery system on Fujifilm Mall. Reservations open on December 20, 2025. The price is set at 998,000 yen ($6,300), representing a notable increase over the standard GFX100RF. Units are produced in limited quantity, and Fujifilm has stated that no international release is planned.
