I found it interesting because I spotted one lens, I think I have never reported about it here on FujiRumors, the Meike MK-6-11mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for FUJIFILM X. So I’ll catch up today, share it with you and update the Chinese lens list below.
Fujifilm just released Fujifilm X-H1 firmware update ver. 2.01.
Fujifilm X-H1 firmware 2.01 – download here The phenomenon is fixed that in rare cases, recorded images can be overexposed
Fujifilm also finally told us that they will release Fujifilm X-T3 firmware ver.2.10 on February 7, which will remove the 4GB record size limit.
Regarding the new function “Recording over 4GB movie file as one file” which was planned to add to the firmware Ver.2.00, we plan to release the upgraded firmware Ver.2.10 on 7 Feb 2019.
As I told you yesterday, Fujifilm is rumored to have a bigger firmware update ready for the Fujifilm X-T3 in spring.
Fuji Guy Billy joined the Fujilove podcast. For those of you, who are right now on the road or at work and you can’t listen to it all at iTunes, Stitcher or on fujilove, here are the key points:
Fujinon X Mount Lenses
Older Fujinon lenses have new life in terms of autofocus on Fujifilm X-T3
The legendary XF35mm f/1.4 was deliberately designed not optically perfect, to give it a unique characteristic and that “magic” look
The Fujifilm X-H1 maybe has been misunderstood by the market. It had a lot of new video features, so people considered it more a video camera. But it is also a better and more robust camera, and facilitates handling of bigger lenses. For Professionals weight is sometimes not a problem, but more durability. That’s why Fujifilm launched the Fujifilm X-H1. It should also appeal to DSLR customers, who were on the fence of switching to mirrorless. IBIS is quite nice also for photography, especially in low light
Shutter has an S1 (half press) and S2 (full contact to release shutter) position. Regarding the Fujifilm X-H1, you can contact your Fujifilm service and see if they have an option to adjust the S1 and S2 position to your taste (low, medium or high). There might be a charge for that service, depending on your country
IBIS
Fujifilm wanted to make an excellent IBIS system, and it is one of the best on the market. But the size of the system was too big to put it into other X-series cameras. At this moment, it can’t fit in other cameras, but hopefully one day IBIS can be designed smaller and make it fit on other cameras
Fujinon GF 100-200mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR: If you look to move into medium format, you don’t have many lenses initially to choose from, so zoom lenses can cover various focal lengths. The GF100-200 is compatible with teleconverter. It’s a little bit heavier, but very sharp. At that focal length with medium format sensor, you can isolate your subject very well

For cameras without USB-C connection like Fujifilm X-T2, you can power the camera using a USB-C to USB 3.0 cable
Battery Pack allows you for example to make timelapse all night long without worrying about changing the battery
The Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD battery level drops by only 10% after 5 hours powering a Fujifilm camera
Officially you can charge 1 battery for 7 times using the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD, but in Billy’s experience you can charge it even more times
