TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 Firmware Update

I noticed that I have never reported about the firmware updates for the TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 for Fujifilm X mount, so I need to catch up today.

There have been a couple of updates, with the latest one being firmware version 1.1.1 released on May 17.

If we take all the updates together, this is improvements the TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 has received so far:

  • Improve lens stability
  • Optimize lens power consumption
  • Fixing manual focus anomalies on some cameras
  • Optimized the stability of the aperture control ring
  • Optimized the speed of switching on and off
  • Optimize the focus and compatibility of some old cameras, such as X-A1、X-A3、X-Pro1、X-E1

It’s nice to see already several updates for this lens, but I still stick with the original version on my sample, since I don’t have Windows computers at home.

You can access the firmware here.

Fujinon GF50mmF3.5 Firmware Still Suspended

Suspended Firmware

Back on April 27, Fujifilm released firmware updates for lots X and GFX lenses (plus some cameras).

Among them there was firmware 1.10 for the Fujinon GF50mmF3.5 with some welcome improvements.

However, at some point Fujifilm removed the firmware and said:

It has been confirmed that there are some rare cases where the upgrade process fails with Ver. 1.10 released on April 27, 2023. For this reason, we have just removed the download button for this version here. We will resume the download button as soon as a fix is ready.

Customers who have successfully upgraded this firmware can continue to use the product.

Since then, nothing happened and the firmware is still suspended.

As an owner of the Fujinon GF50mmF3.5 myself, I just share this friendly reminder to Fujifilm that there is this suspended firmware and that we would really appreciate if they’d fix it… just in case Fuji forgot about it.

The Future of Fujifilm in Patents

Why Fujifilm?

Why?

Why are you doing this?

There is no need for one, totally wasted R&D.

These lenses make no sense!

That’s how some of the comments sounded on my various platforms after I have published the latest patents of the XF56mmF1.7 and re-designed XF18mmF1.4.

And these comments came after I warned you in the article that in 11+ years of blogging I have never seen a patent actually become a real product.

And despite my repeated warnings, some people keep taking those patents as an indication of what’s really coming next from Fujifilm.

But if it was really like this… I mean, if patents would really show us the way that Fujifilm is taking, then where are:

So, even though I feel a bit like Don Quixote fighting the windmills, I will give it another try today.

But I’ll take a different approach this time.

Because, well aware that a good number of people don’t go beyond the headline, I decided to create a headline that shows how absurd it is to put any trust in these patents. And hopefully, this will motivate people to look deeper into this subject.

And how do we look deeper into it?

Well, in this article we look at the 67 patents FujiRumors has shared starting from our first one posted back in 2012 until the latest one here.

Give them a look, and then make up your own mind if you should take patents as solid indications of future products.

All the Patents (Have Fun :))

Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8X Autofocus lens for Fujifilm X Now Listed at Amazon

A couple of weeks ago Yongnuo announced the Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8X DA DSM PRO autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount.

The lens was back then available for sale via the Yongnuo website, but it looks like it is about to drop also on other stores.

You can find the Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8X now listed at Amazon US here and check out also your local Amazon here.

I guess it’s just a matter of hours until we find it also at BHphoto here and Adorama here.
