Mirrorlessrumors spotted this news: Zenit just launched an E-mount lens, the Zenitar 50mmF0.95. However, Gavriloart says they will release it for other mirrorless systems too. Mirrorlessrumors says:
I guess MFT and X-mount camera owners can certainly expect to get this lens in their respective native mounts.
No price info for now.

RoboSHOOT
The RoboSHOOT Flash Triggers are now available at BHphoto and Adorama. Make sure to take a look at Mehrdad ’s great review of the RoboSHOOT system at www.qimago.de
RoboSHOOT© enables use of either Fujifilm© or the best Nikon© Speedlights on Fujifilm© X-series cameras. This unique capability opens the door to applications previously outside the reach of X-shooters, such as weddings and on location portraiture. With the addition of specialized timing functions, the RoboSHOOT© MX-20 provides a plethora of capabilities unavailable in any other system – period. And with the free iOS© and Android© App photographers enjoy total control at their fingertips!
Back in January 2015, Metz launched the Mecablitz AF-1. Now it’s already time for a successor the Metz Mecablitz 26 AF-2, available also for Fujifilm cameras.

SonyAlphaRumors got this image from a Meyer “internal source”. It’s from photographer Firat Bagdu and it has been shot with the upcoming new Meyer Optik Görlitz mid range prime lens. SAR says:
This will be Meyer’s most technologically advanced lens. It’s also near-macro glass. I have been told the specs are the same of one of their historic lenses.
The official announcement is set for April 14 at 11am London time… and it will be available also for Fuji X Mount.
Meyer Optik Görlitz already offers some X-mount lenses. I’ve checked the Complete Overview over all exisiting (and upcoming) Fuji X-mount lenses and saw the [shoplink 44451 ebay]Nocturnus 35mmF0.95[/shoplink], the Trimagon 95mmF2.6 and the Trioplan 100mmF2.8.
Regarding the Nocturnus lens FXF member yukosteel noted here,
[shoplink 44451 ebay]On this eBay lot[/shoplink] it looks a bit different then picture on FR from February 27, 2015. There is hood mount, and “0.95” on DOF scale. Other then that it still looks like Mitakon. While pictures on Meyer-Optik are still showing slightly different body design, though same size : )
Here some Meyer Optik Görlitz “legends”:

I know… many of you are impatiently waiting for X-T2 rumors.
I can understand and share your excitement. But if you take a look at the X-Pro2, you’ll already have a pretty accurate idea about the X-T2, starting from the most important aspect: Image Quality.
Sure, there are still some specs you’d like to have confirmed, like the joystick, the dual SD-card slot and, why not, maybe a touch screen. I hope that our sources will soon share the answer to these and other questions, and FR is working on this (and more) behind the scenes.
For now I can share two things with you:
1) An X-T2 specs list shared by FR-reader AceFibble in the comments of this post. About the Fuji X-T2 he says:
EVF refresh: it’s going to be the same or better, possibly with the Pro2 matching it after a firmware update. Bear in mind the T2’s will be larger.
Continuous burst: I’m told the preproduction T2s have a deeper buffer; I’d expect that to be updated on the Pro2, too.
AF: ditto
Touch screen: I’ve been told preproduction units don’t have one, and I’ve been told they do. This is the only aspect of the whole camera that my sources haven’t been consistent on. I’ve not noticed Patrick speak much about a touch screen, or anybody else, so I’m assuming there won’t be one.
Dual cards: obviously it will have two slots.
I’ll keep you posted on this…
2) The approximate announcement date:
A source, who was right in the past, said that the announcement is “currently” (!) set to end of June / beginning of July. The focus is on “currently”, because the better the X-Pro2 sells (and it sells really strong), the less Fujifilm feels the need to release the X-T2 quickly, since it would impact negatively on the current Fuji X-Pro2 sales.
Or maybe…
… maybe the X-T2 announcement right at the beginning of my summer holidays is Fujifilm’s personal revenge on me, since I will have to cancel my 10 days trip to Iceland (the winner of our “ultimate travel Poll“).
But my Vendetta will be merciless, dear Fuji… and it will come in form of rumors spread from my rented 58m² FR-headquarter! :-)
You can share rumors 100% anonymously using the rumor box (if you’d use a nickname, that would be great), or contact me via email (also fake email account). You can also drop me a personal message on Facebook or Twitter.
stay tuned, fellow X-shooters
