Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 now Available for $329 only

Viltrox just officially released the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 for Fujifilm X mount for $329 only.

As a comparison, the equivalent Fujinon XF 23mmm f/1.4 costs you $899. This means the Viltrox costs you 63% less than the Fujinon lens. Not a bad deal.

This is one of the four autofocus lenses Viltrox offers for the Fujifilm X system.

You can find the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 at the Viltrox store here, but it should soon follow also on BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama and eBay.

Hooray! Fujifilm X-E4 Shows Up in Internal Fujifilm Roadmap Again!

Message to Source: Mega-Thanks! As an X-E line lover, you really made my day!!!

And since you contact me anonymously via nickname, I have something to ask you. I did read also the rest of the message. Thanks a lot for that. I am investigating, and I believe I know the answer to some of the things you told me, but not all.

If you want, you can contact me via email or personal message on social media. So I would tell you what I know (or think to know) and maybe you can confirm or not. You can also make a fake email if you prefer.

But if you prefer not, then of course it’s also fantastic help just to use the rumor box with your nickname. In that case, if I have something to tell you, I will try to do it via the blog, as I do today.

Regarding the other information you sent me: I will wait a little bit, just in case you decide to contact me, so I can share something with you, and we can decide together how to share. Otherwise I will proceed as usual, and share the information as I received it from you soon.

X-E4: I Am Back

Two months ago I told you that the Fujifilm X-E4 had been axed by Fujifilm.

Multiple sources confirmed this.

But I also told you that, if there is one rumor I hope you guys will one day sh*tstorm on me, because I was wrong, then it’s this one.

And guess what?

A highly trusted source decided to make my day (and the one of many other fellow X shooters), by telling us the Fujifilm X-E4 is now back on the internal Fujifilm camera roadmap!

So, actually the “X-E4 is dead” is technically not a wrong rumor.

In fact, the X-E4 has been really axed back in late 2019/beginning 2020. But Fujifilm put it back on the roadmap just very recently in April. And yet, unless a Fujifilm manager one day confirms, what I know is true, I will move the X-E4 rumor in the “wrong rumors 2020” list anyway.

Sh*tstorm or not, I really don’t care. I know the truth, and even more important is that the X-E line is back on the roadmap. This makes me happy!

And now let me grab my old dog and go out on the fields around my home with a smile on my face :).

Ah, Fuji… don’t forget the tilt screen this time ;).
