Both support Autofocus, in camera aperture control, optical lens image stabilzation and Exif recording. It has a USB port for firmware updates and a detachable tripod mount.
The price is of 23,000 yen including tax (converted to $206).
Updated list of Fujifilm X/GFX autofocus adapters:
In a recent interview to lenstip, Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki said regarding making Fujifilm X mount Sigma lenses:
“I really would want to but, you know, our resources are limited and it’s all a matter of priorities. I really wish we could make a lens for the X mount system but right now, just because our resources are limited, we don’t have such a plan. We have too many ongoing projects.”
Here on fujirumors we shared a rumor, that Sigma wants to see an increase in Fujifilm market share, before they start making lenses for Fujifilm.

It seems we can definitely put aside hopes for Sigma X mount glass.
There are other interesting things to read and I will highlight my best of down below.
Foveon full frame camera coming?
“That is the basic plan but everything is possible. We might even use an APS-C sensor again.”
He sets his priorities:
“We will work more on full frame mirrorless lenses […]; then probably there will be mirrorless cameras with APS-C and then, full frame DSLR“
And how many engineers are involved in designing one lens?
“A typical team consists of 1 optical designer engineer, maybe 3 or 4 mechanical engineers, 1 or 2 software engineers and maybe 1 or 2 electronic engineers so not more than 10 people. In the next stages more specialists become involved: prototype engineers, production system engineers so, in total, several dozens of people are engaged in a production of a new lens. If you add the die design, I think it’s close to 100 people for one product.“
As you might know DaVinci Resolve can’t read the metadata of many DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras. A solution to this problem is now offered by Exif Video Resolved DR.
Exif Video Resolved DR is a plugin for ExifTool, that allows you to import camera EXIF metadata such as ISO, Aperture, Shutter, Lens Type, Gamma, Color Space, Focal Point, etc. to Davinci Resolve, giving you the ability to see a lot more metadata info in your Media Pool with just a few click.
Exif Video Resolved DR is not free, but very affordable. You can get the Fujifilm version for €5 and the version with all cameras supported for €14 (or €20 if you buy Windows and Mac version together). Future updates should be free.
It’s my pleasure to break again the news here on FujiRumors, and if you want to be always and consistently the first to get the news and rumors around the Fujifilm world, here is what you have to do:
News is news, so I share it. But I wrote a very informative piece about these awards last year. 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 20 products:
Portable X-ray unit “CALNEO Xair” [iF Gold Award 2019]
Fujifilm wins the internationally prestigious “iF Design Award” with 20 products
-Recognized for design excellence, advanced performance and superior operability in products of various business fields -Portable X-ray unit “CALNEO Xair” wins the highest ranked “iF Gold Award”
Thingyfy has displayed new Thingyfy Pinhole Pro X 18-36mm zoom lens also for Fujifilm X mount at the Photography Show 2019.
The Pinhole Pro S has a fixed aperture, whereas the Pinhole Pro aperture (pinhole size) can be adjusted from 0.10 to 0.80. They are made out of aluminium alloy in China.
