LEAKED: Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR coming to Replace XF18-55mm

Thanks to our fantastic sources (THANKS!!!) we are now able to share additional details of the next XF lens that Fujifilm will launch.

  • Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR

A couple of things to note here.

  • this lens will replace the XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS as the standard kit lens
  • f/4.8 instead of f/4 on the long end
  • it keeps the linear motor (also XF18-55 has it)
  • it has still an aperture ring
  • it adds weather sealing (XF18-55 has not)
  • it has no OIS (XF18-55 has OIS)
  • very likely it will be able to resolve all 40MP of new Fujifilm cameras (the XF18-55 can not), giving us less range on the long end (50 instead of 55) but at the same time also more crop capabilities

Let us know what you think about these changes.

 

BREAKING: This is Fujifilm’s Next MILC Camera Coming Early 2024

The Fujifilm MILC Camera

We recently told you that Fujifilm will launch more cameras in the first months of 2024 than in the entire year of 2023.

Considering we got these two cameras in 2023, this means we will get “3 or more cameras” in just the first months of 2024.

And we recently also spotted a registration for a second unreleasd Fujifilm product, the FF230003.

We also asked you guys which cameras you think will come (you voted here), and judging by the results, I can say that you didn’t see that one coming.

In fact, according to our trusted sources, the next mirrorless interchangeable lens camera that Fujifilm will launch is the Fujifilm GFX100S II.

Now you know the true reasons why Fujifilm is selling the Fujifilm GFX100S at a massive discount.

Now, there was the speculation out there that Fujifilm had merged the GFX100 and GFX100S into one single camera line, the GFX100II.

But nope, that’s not the case. And it comes from multiple trusted sources, which means it is 100% accurate and I will shut down FujiRumors forever if it does not become true.

And to be sure there are no misunderstandings, here a few things that must be clear:

  • the GFX100SII is the next mirrorless interchangeable lens camera to come
  • yes, it could be also the next Fujifilm camera to come overall, but I have no idea if maybe the X100R will come before the GFX100SII

But my work is far from done.

We might know two cameras that come, but there will be three or more coming in the first months of 2024.

So if neither the X100V successor nor the GFX100SII is the camera you were waiting for, then don’t worry, because we will get even more soon.
