Today we have an update to a rumor we shared earlier this year.

So, we told you that Fujifilm is working on a fixed lens GFX camera.

Of course there are lots of questions we are investigating with our sources, and probably one of the biggest question is which lens it will use.

I told you a while back that I got conflicting reports regarding the lens it will use and that I want to give you an answer only once I am sure about it.

Well, guided by our sources (THANKS), we can now say with certainty that it will be a 28mm equivalent lens.

So the lens itself will give you a wider field of view than what you find for example in the lovely Fujifilm X100VI.

As far as the aperture goes, also here I do not have 100% solid confirmation. But I got contacted by a source, who was right in the past (message to source: yes, you used that nickname in the past, so keep using it in future if you decide to contact me again. Thanks!).

According to that source, it will be an f/3.2 lens. I guess the source ment f/3.2 on GFX, hence f/2.5 depth of field equivalent in full frame.

But again, this time I share the aperture without having it multiple confirmed by trusted sources. However, if the source is right, it will be elevated to the “trusted source” status. But until then, please take it with a grain of salt.

I’ll give you updates on the aperture as soon as I have them.

Another message to the source: I hear announcement will be in 2025. I will look again into it. If you want, you can also contact me 100% anonymously via Signal. I will also try to get the other info multiple checked as soon as possible. Thanks so much again for the help.

It remains a mystery to me why Fujifilm does not really update its lens roadmap anymore.

It’s an error they are doing as in my opinion sharing long terms XF lens plans can only bring them advantages.

But so be it: Fujifilm perists in this error.

So let me jump in for as much as possible and make up for Fujifilm’s errors by updating the lens roadmap here on FujiRumors with the rumored lenses.

Above you can see the two lenses I have added to the list.

Both with come in 2024.

• Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 MKII
• Fujinon XF500mmF5.6

Further specs are not yet known.

Not yet ;).

And if anyone can help to add a few more to the list, feel free to contact FujiRumors :).

Have a wonderful day!

We told you that Fujifilm is working on the successor of the Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8.

Of course many asked me when it will come. Some in the comments even wondered if that might mean we will get it 2 years from now or so.

Well, always according to our trusted sources the Fujinon XF 16-55mm f/2.8 MKII will be announced in 2024.

So the wait is no that long anymore!

This is probably one of the most exciting rumors of the year. At least for me, but I guess also for many of you.

Are you read for it?

Well, then have fun reading the rumor below.

Because I know many of you are waiting for exactly this lens.

Why?

Because the original MKI version is certainly loved and used by many, but it starts to show its age.

And now that third parties entered with their own, similar offerings, it was time for Fujifilm to refresh it.

And they’ll do it!

Because according to our trusted sources (THANKS!!!), Fujifilm is working on the successor of the Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 lens.

The Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8, also called “the brick” among fellow X shooters, is a fantastic lens and a true workhorse for many fellow X shooters our there.

However, at this point in time it is also an older lens in Fujifilm’s lineup.

And given that there is strong competition now in that segment, see for example the Sigma 18-50mmF2.8, an update to the Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 is definitely not only welcome, but also needed.

Stay tuned on FujiRumors if you want to know more about it ;).
