Viltrox AF 9mm f/2.8 Air for Fujifilm X Coming Soon

Back in September Viltrox launched the Viltrox AF 9mm f/2.8 Air for APS-C.

So far it enjoys fantastic reviews:

We all expected it to be launched also for Fujifilm X mount, but sadly that did not happen.

But now there is a sign of hope.

Viltrox has said on their social media the following:

The AF 9mm f/2.8 for X mount is currently being tested by our team. If everything goes smoothly, it should be ready for release soon, stay tuned!

Ricoh GR IV Monochrome Camera Development Announced

Ricoh GR Goes Monochrome

Back in 2024 I told you that Ricoh would announce the Ricoh GR IV monochrome in 2025.

The rumor was instantly declared a fake clickbait by the “rest of the internet” (as you pointed out). But it looks like it was not a fake – so huge thanks to our source for sharing, once again, accurate information with us.

In fact, Ricoh just announced the Ricoh GRIV monochrome development, with shipping possibly still in 2025, just as our sources told us.

Also the Ricoh GR IV HDF (high diffusion filter) has been announced, but unlike the Monochrome version, which is a first for the Ricoh GR series, the Ricoh GR HDF version already existed in previous iterations of this line.

Here on FujiRumors wer are very strong supporters of a monochrome Fujifilm camera.

I’m confident the new Ricoh GR IV Monochrome will be a huge success. It’s a pity that Fujifilm doesn’t seem to recognize the enormous potential a monochrome Fujifilm camera could have.
