Some LOVE the Fujifilm X-Pro3, and Here is Why!

Fujifilm X-Pro3 – A Camera to Hate

Today I thought I try to balance out the X-Pro3 sh*tstorm, by sharing a few stories of people, who actually either like or understand (and hence accept) the new X-Pro3 hidden tilt screen concept.

If you ask me personally, I admit that my first reaction was also something like “what the heck is this?”

But you know what I have learned from reading the massive (and brilliant) essays of Michel de Montaigne?

I have learned that we should try to “suspend our judgment“.

So, I try not to judge and to remain skeptical.

Only after I was able to try, feel, shoot and experience the Fujifilm X-Pro3 by myself, I will judge it!

Because I actually never used it… did you?

Fujifilm Manager Toshihisa Iida Interview: New Fujinon X and G Mount Lens Roadmap in 2019 and 5 to 6 New Lenses in 2020

Fujifilm Manager Toshihisa Iida Interview

Fujifilm Manager Toshihisa Iida has released an interview to the Japanese website newswitch, which you can read summed up and translated in its main points below.

But before we go ahead, I want to highlight one thing Toshihisa Iida said:

The roadmap is updated once a year

Fujifilm sort of changed the roadmap yesterday, at the Fujifilm X Summit, by scraping the Fujinon XF 33mm f/1.0 from the roadmap and replacing it with the Fujinon XF 50mm f/1.0.

But if we look at the official Fujifilm website, we see that the latest uploaded roadmaps are:

This means that Fujifilm plans to release an updated roadmap within this year, which fits with what we rumored a few days ago here.

But how many lenses can we expect to be announced in 2020? Toshihisa Iida said:

To date, we have announced an average of 5 or 6 new products each year. […] We are not going to slow that pace”

Also in this case, this fits with what we already told you back in 2017, when our sources told us that Fuji’s schedule is to release 2/3 GF lenses and 2/3 X lenses a year.

Now let’s just hope Fujifilm will listen and give us what you guys voted the most wanted X and G mount lenses here.
