Launch of New Fujifilm X Mount Viltrox Lenses Possibly Delayed due to Coronavirus Outbreak

The Chinese company Viltrox, maker of the much loved Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount, is telling customers that they can’t give any information on when the next Viltrox lenses will be released, due to the Coronovirus outbreak.

Viltrox writes:

The release date for the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 is still not yet confirmed, as we are not able to get back to office due to the coronavirus outbreak

The original plan was to release it before March 21.

We remind you that Viltrox plans to launch three more lenses for Fujifilm X-Mount

Fujifilm wins “iF Design Awards” for 10 Products and FUJIFILM GFX100 awarded with highest ranked “iF Gold Award”

News is news, so I share it. But I wrote a very informative piece about these awards in the past. So, if you want to read how the business around (some of these) awards goes, check out this article.

Now, I do not know if the iF design award works the same like TIPA, EISA and others, but I would not be surprised if it would.

With that said, the iF Design Awards have been assigned, and Fujifilm wins with 10 products (last year they won 20 awards):

Message to Source: Message Received and…

Dear readers, sorry to bother you with it, but a few minutes ago I received a message from an anonymous source. It came to me via rumor box, so I have no idea, who it is and how to contact it. My only way to contact the source is via FujiRumors. I hope you don’t mind, but making a public post is the only way to reach out to the source.

TO THE SOURCE:

[UPDATED] Thanks :)

Thanks a lot for you message and insight.

Also, it is strange you got no confirmation message when sending the mail via rumor box. And in fact something must have gone wrong, as I believe I did not get the “full” message you wanted to share with me. Would you mind try again? Maybe with another browser? Otherwise you can also contact me at fujirumor@gmail (you can use a fake email if you want). Of course also in that case everything will remain 100% anonymous, and I won’t make a single step, without you approving it clearly.

Fujifilm X-T4 Accurate Rendering: See the Button placement, Ergonomics, Dials and more!

I know everybody is refreshing FujiRumors, waiting for some leaked images of the Fujifilm X-T4.

Well, while waiting for them, I thought I could make you an accurate rendering of the Fujifilm X-T4.

ATTENTION: What you see are not the real Fujifilm X-T4 images. These are renderings I make based on information I have received. I took an X-T3 and applied changes to give you an accurate idea of the Fujifilm X-T4. Buttons, dials, screen, grip… it will all look so close to the real X-T4.

Got it?

As for the battery, take a look at the Nikon EN-EL15b battery, and you’ll get a 95% accurate idea on how the Fujifilm X-T4 battery will look like.

Photographing my first Wedding: The Gear I Bought, The Fujifilm X-T4 Dilemma and is My Friendship at Risk?

Back in mid January, I wrote this article, where I told you that my best friend asked me to photograph his wedding.

Well, actually not his entire wedding.

There is an official photographer, but he will stay only until dinner. He will then leave, and my friend asked me if I can cover it from dinner onwards.

So I asked you…

… in order to be ready for the shoot, any tips and tricks, also from a gear point of view?

The article received a massive response with over 230 comments.

I did read them all, but was not able to reply to all of them, as then all the mega buzz started for the X100V announcement and the Fujifilm X-T4 rumors. Not to talk that January is always extremely busy also at school, and now in February I started a video project, which takes lots of time, too.

So I thought I post one big response article now, that touches three main points: the gear, how I should relate with the official photographer and something that came unexpected for me: the risk to destroy my friendship.

Let’s go in order:
