Fujifilm has announced that the release of the Fujifilm X-T200 has been pushed back from February 27 to March 2020.
At the time of this post, BHphoto & Co still show February 27 for delivery, but I guess they will change that soon.
Feel free to:
Elinchrom has just announced the Elinchrom ELC 500 TTL Studio Monolight and the Elinchrom ECL 125 TTL Studio Monologht.
It is compatible with Fujifilm if used the Elinchrom Skyport trigger.
In addition they launched also new softboxes and other accessories:
DPReview interviewed Fujifilm Chief Designer Maszumi Imai and Senior Manager Shinichiro Udono.
They talk about the Fujifilm X100V.
Here are some excerpts:

Yesterday a fake X-T3 firmware 4.00 screenshot was circulating on the web.
I told everybody it’s a fake, and nobody at Fujifilm is currently editing the firmware page to get it ready for an imminent release.
We also set things straight, by saying that a firmware update for the X-T3 is in the works, but it won’t be out before spring or maybe even summer.
But some of you still didn’t believe me, as the screenshot looked so realistic.
So, I took about 1 minute of my life, and created a fake firmware 4.00 myself, so you can see it is indeed a super easy fake to make.
I hope this ends the discussion one time and forever.
Guys, FujiRumors will always treat you with respect, and work hard to give you accurate information. So here you are in 100% fake clickbait rumor free zone ;).
Petersburg, VA, USA, Feb 21, 2020: Metabones® and Caldwell Photographic Inc. are pleased to jointly announce the NF – GFX mount Expander 1.26x. It allows Nikon F mount lenses to be mounted on Fujifilm GFX camera bodies without getting dark and / or soft corners. The magnification factor of 1.26x perfectly matches the image circle of the full-frame Nikon lenses to the medium-format sensor of the GFX series cameras, and therefore the diagonal FOV remains exactly the same.
The optical design consists of 5 elements in 3 groups, incorporating ultra-high index Lanthanum based optical glass as well as one element made of fused silica, resulting in extremely good performances with professional-grade f/2.8 zoom lenses. For example, a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens becomes a 30-88mm f/3.5 zoom, and a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens becomes an 88-252mm f/3.5 zoom. Please note that because of the nature of focal extenders, the aperture values decrease by 2/3 of a stop; f/2.8 becomes f/3.5 and f/2 becomes f/2.5. High-speed fixed focal length lenses such as the 50mm f/1.4 will be transformed into a very fast standard lens 63mm f/1.8 for the GFX system.
The GFX mount Expander features Metabones’ unique manual G aperture adjustment mechanism, which has the same angular throw distance as earlier Nikon Ai/AiS lenses, which features a linearized f-stop adjustment as a function of aperture ring adjustment angle. The mechanism is clickless in order to maximize its usefulness to cinematographers.
