Don’t Get Fooled: Fujifilm X100VI Lens Identical to X100V: Weather Sealing via Filters, Compatible with WCL/TCL and Sharper thanks to 40MP

When we shared the teaser Nr.2 for the Fujifilm X100VI, there were quite some out there commenting and launching posts on forums about how the lens of the X100VI looks bigger than the one of the X100V.

This lead to speculations that it might have a faster aperture, or be fully weather sealed without need of these filters.

But don’t get fooled by the images.

What I can tell you is that the lens on the Fujifilm X100VI will be 1:1 exactly the same of the Fujifilm X100V.

This means:

The only difference?

It is very likely that the lens will now perform even better thanks to the increased megapixel of the Fujifilm X100VI which will result in sharper images.

Fujifilm X100VI: The True Question is… Get it in Black or Silver? VOTE NOW

Let’s be honest for a moment.

The true questions about the Fujifilm X100VI are not if it will have IBIS or not (which we answered), which sensor it will use (which we answered), which lens it will use (which we answered), how big it will be (which we answered), if it will have the new Reala Ace film simulation (which we answered) and not even how much it will cost (which we answered).

That’s all just distraction from the one and only true question that obsesses us these days: Fujifilm X100VI, should I get it in black or in silver?

So I thought a nice survey could help us to clear up our mind regarding this essential question.

My preference? Well, I have a theory.

I believe that Fujifilm rangefinder cameras with OVF (X-Pro and X100 line) look better in silver, whereas rangefinder cameras without OVF (X-E line) look better in all black.

I don’t know why that is, but that’s how I see it.

So, in case of the Fujifilm X100VI, I personally would go for the silver version. But honestly I’d be very happy also with the black one. I guess any version is fine that one can find in store… important is to just find it somewhere in stock :D.

But let me know what you’d take.

I prefer the Fujifilm X100VI in...

They Are Coming!

They Are Coming

They are coming.

Soon they’ll find out.

And once they do, it’s over.

They’ll cause shortages, boost prices and create endless long waiting list.

But we can beat them.

Because the TikTok crowd is not aware of the Fujifilm X100VI (yet).

They don’t follow photography forums or rumor sites.

But it won’t take long until their TikTok idol will tell them about the X100VI.

So all we have is this short time window between announcement and the moment the news of the X100VI spreads on social media.

That’s why, if you want the Fujifilm X100VI, I make a recommendation that I can’t remember I’ve ever done in 12 years of blogging: pre-order it instantly.

Beat the rush. Or risk to endlessly wait for the Fujifilm X100VI.

And remember: you can always send it back within 30 days. Or resell it at twice the price :D

But When?

Many asked me when pre-orders are taken. So here is how Fujifilm (usually) does it.

There is the X Summit. You can follow it here on FujiRumors. We will provide the live stream as well as a live summary.

During the X Summit, NO preorders are taken and NO reviews will be shared.

Once the X Summit is over (which could be anytime between 1:00AM and 2:00AM New York time), the embargo on the X100VI will be lifted. Reviews will drop and stores will upload the dedicated X100VI preorder pages.

Of course, as soon as the embargo is lifted, FujiRumors will start the Live Blog, where you’ll find all pre-order links and we will collect all the relevant reviews you should check out.

But Why?

Loved the X100VI rumors (and want to get more)?

Well, then if you decided to go for the Fujifilm X100VI, feel free to use any of our affiliate links to pre-order it.

The links I share are affiliate links. This means that once you click on them, you’ll get to the page of the store. And if you decide to buy anything on the store, a small commission is valued back to FujiRumors at no extra costs for you.

But remember: the last click counts.

So if for example you click on my affiliate link to BHphoto, don’t buy anything, and then go let’s say to SonyAlphaRumors and click on any of their B&H affiliate links, navigate BH and then preorder the X100VI, then SAR will earn the commission.

I mean, SAR is a fantastic website and deserves all the support it can get. And go and support them if you prefer (or anyone else). But just so you know, in case what you planed to do is to support FR, then the last store-link to click should be the one through FujiRumors.

Why do it?

Well, your support will make sure that I’ll be able to keep FujiRumors running and hence keep providing the service you are used to get… as always 100% free and non-stop 365 days a year.

So, to anyone who is considering to support my work, thanks a lot.

If FujiRumors is still running, than it’s only because of those of you, who decided to support FR in the past and will do so in future.

As soon as the X100VI is listed at stores, the links below will re-direct you to the X100VI pages. You can bookmark the links, or just follow FujiRumors at launch day and click any link you’ll find there on that day.

Fujifilm to Launch Three Cameras within First Half 2024 – But the Biggest Release is Another One ;)

Best News First: the Biggest Release is…

Yes, we are going to talk about the three cameras. But first you need to know this.

There is one release in just a couple weeks that will overshadow everything else Fujifilm will launch.

Well, at least for me.

Because my second son will be “released” in the next couple of weeks, too :)

But don’t worry guys.

There shouldn’t be any schedule conflict with the X Summit on February 20 (unlike with my first sons’ birth, when Fujifilm made its mega announcement literally just hours after he was born and I had to live blog right after I came home sleepless after his birth).

So I am ready to cover it all non-stop here on FujiRumors.

* NOTE: if on Feb.20 you decide to pre-order the X100VI using our affiliate links, FujiRumors will invest the earnings in diapers :)
