7 Years of FujiRumors: Time to Give Away $100 B&H Photo Gift Card and Answer 10 Crucial Questions in Life :)

UPDATE: Winner is David H. We are in contact and he received his gift card

What a journey!

Today FujiRumors turns 7 years old.

I would like to thank anyone, who followed me on this journey, by giving away a $100 BHphoto gift card to a lucky winner. All the rules and giveaway entry box down below.

And just so you know me a bit better, here are my answers to 10 crucial questions in life :).

  1. Dog or Cat? Well, this video of me should answer the question, as well as this image on my mountains.
  2. Beer or Wine? Wine, as you can see here next to my X-T1. But I can have hot love affairs with beer, too
  3. Sea or Mountains? Mountains, as it’s easy to guess from my Instagram
  4. RAW of JPEG? In my pre-Fuji life I’d have said RAW no doubt, but now I am not so sure anymore. Is answering RAW+JPEG allowed?
  5. 35mm or 23mm (in APS-C)? 35mm
  6. Prime or Zoom? Proom ;)
  7. Rangefinder or DSLR style? Rangefinder
  8. EVF or OVF? EVF
  9. Tilt screen of Fixed Screen? I can make good use of tilt screens, if I am not so stupid to forget SD-cards!
  10. X-Trans or Bayer? X-Trans

Tony Northrup Fujifilm 2019 Predictions: Fujinon XF 400mm2.8, 70mm1.0, 16-55mm1.8, 50-120mm1.8 and 16mm1.0

Fujifilm 2019 Predictions

It’s time for gear predictions!

Techradar started here, by predicting the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and maybe also the Fujifilm X100F successor in 2019.

Now it’s time for Tony and Chelsea Northrup to predict new gear.

Tony says he noticed a trend at Fujifilm, which is making full frame equivalent fast lenses (XF200mmF2, XF8-16mmF2.8, XF33mmF1.0). Hence, according to his predictions, Fujifilm will launch:

Over a year ago, I told you that Fujifilm will NOT launch more than 2/3 X and 2/3 GF lenses a year (at least not until they finish to expand their lens factories).

And since Fujifilm already has 2 lenses scheduled for this year (the XF16mmF2.8 and XF16-80mmF4), I’d not expect more than 1 “surprise” lens to come (if any).

You can see Tony’s full video at the top of this post or on their youtube channel here, and follow FujiRumors at Facebook, RSS-feed, Twitter and Instagram
