So the entire APS-C lineup orders are on hold in Japan. I don’t know if this is valid for the rest of the world too, but for now they seem to be still available for order at stores like BHphoto.
The motivation they give is strange: the demand exceeds Sigma’s expectations.
So I wonder what happened. If all of a sudden demand for Sigma APS-C lenses rose strongly, or if maybe Sigma’s production capacity dropped for reasons we do not know.
does Fujifilm prefer to give the GFX100SII a dedicated launch day, and make a separate announcement for the X-T50 and the new kit lens?
did I share a wrong rumor?
Well… don’t worry. We don’t share wrong rumors here. Everything will happen as we tell you it will.
But I will contact our sources and see what they have to say about it. And as soon as I can I will share an update here on FujiRumors.
And beyond that?
Well, the only gear Fujifilm has pre-announced, is the Fujinon GF500mmF5.6, but that one is listed on the official G mount roadmap as coming sometimes in 2024. So it could be on May 16, but also later on.
Well, I am growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of a new X mount roadmap. I keep asking for a new one since years and Fujifilm keeps ignoring our wishes. So at this point I have no expectations anymore.
Anyway… answers will come. Some of them on May 16, but many other answers will come well before that.
Fujifilm USA has launched the Raffle to enter the chance to win the Fujifilm X100VI limited edition.
You have time until April 21 to join the raffle.
There are 200 X100VI LE available this time out of the 300 units available for purchase originally. So a total of 200 orders were cancelled and are now part of this raffle.
Hundreds of scalpers are in tears right now, but somehow I can’t feel all too much compassion for them ;).
