Mid 2021 Rumor Check: Fujifilm X-H2, GFX50SII, Future Lenses and More (with Reliability Ranking)

Half a year has passed.

Lots of rumors have been shared already (and many more will come ;) ).

However, there is something I never do: rank the rumors in a reliability ranking.

I hate to do that, as an anonymous rumor is not necessarily less reliable than a trusted rumor. There is much more that needs to be checked in order to determine if a rumor is reliable or not. And also, something that is rocksolid at some point, may become less sure later on as Fujifilm changes plans.

That’s why I hate to rank rumors.

However, it is something you request me to do, hence, 1 or 2 times a year I bend to your will and do just that.

So, you can find the rumor-ranking down below.

Also, we will check back and see which rumors FujiRumors got right and which wrong, so that you guys can judge my work and decide if your time on FR was well spent or not. I will be extremely brutal to myself and move in the wrong section every ever so minimal error I made, even though it was accurate at the time of sharing.

Two more things:

  • Included in the list some of the fake rumors circulating around that FujiRumors had to debunk.
  • If you want to get a timeline on when the products will come, check out this post.

One last note: Back in November 2020 we shared an article, where Sigma itself teased Fujifilm X mount lenses coming 2021. And as if that was not enough, they teased them again in February 2021. In between those Sigma teasers, on December 14, 2020, FujiRumors shared a rumor that Sigma has indeed plans to release Fujifilm X mount lenses. This rumor is not included in the list below, as it from 2020. If you want to check back the 2020 rumors, make sure to read this article.

So let’s start:

  • 49 rumors shared in 2021 so far (many more to come)
  • 27 rumors still to be verified
  • 21 correct rumors out of 22 verifiable rumors
  • 1 wrong rumor out of 22 verifiable rumors (I told you I’ll be brutal to myself ;))
  • 95,45% correct rumors

The Truth about the Fujinon GF56mm f/5.6 R WR Rumors!

Hey you!

Yes, you, the person reading these few lines.

I know you are busy with your life. You have your stuff to get done. You have your ups and downs. Your family to take care of, your friends to hang out with, your latest favorite TV series to watch.

Your time is the most valuable thing you have, I am aware of that.

And if I, Patrick, decide to ask for your time and attention, then I better also deserve it.

How?

By working hard and honestly.

That’s why we do not take shortcuts here on FujiRumors.

What are the shortcuts?

Well, the shortcut is sharing fake rumors.

And today I see myself forced to ask for your time to share a warning.

I have read a fake rumor that Fujifilm will launch a Fujinon GF 56mm f/5.6 lens.

Of course this is a 100% fake rumor (trust me, I know what I talk about), and it serves one goal only: find a fast and cheap way to get your attention, your time and your money.

And little it matters if clickbait sites mislead their readers and disrespect their community by sharing fakes. All they want is traffic and money. Whatever is needed to achieve that, they’ll do it.

But here on FujiRumors we respect and love this whole community way too much to take such cheap shortcuts.

What will really come? Well, read FujiRumors to find it out ;).

Time is ticking. The article is over. You know the truth.

Make good use of the time you’ve left today. Maybe take some pictures. Personally, I’ll stay at home, and will use it playing with my son while waiting for my Fujifilm GFX100S to be delivered. Can’t think of a better day for me :).

Vintage Battle: Nikon Z fc Retro-Styled APS-C Camera Coming to Challenge Fujifilm

Finally!

Finally Fujifilm is getting a competitor also in the retro-styled mirrorless vintage APS-C camera segment, which so far was dominated by Fujifilm as it had almost no competitors, except for some lovely MFT cameras and of course the expensive Leica offerings.

This time the “attack” on Fujifilm comes from Nikon, which is launching the Nikon Z fc APS-C camera, sort of the mirrorless version of the Nikon DF.

A quick overview and video on the Nikon Z fc can be read and seen here.

While this might put Fujifilm a bit under pressure, it is undeniable that for us customers competition is a great thing.

My hope is that the Nikon Z fc will be a huge success, so that Fujifilm will see itself forced to maybe even offer a retro styled Fujifilm GFX 100 Megapixel camera as soon as possible.

It will be interesting to see how serious Nikon will be with its vintage concept, and if they will offer several vintage bodies, like Fujifilm is doing with the X-T line, X-Pro, X-E and X100 line.

Still a strength of retro Fujifilm compared to the new Nikon Z fc are the various vintage film simulations, that will give not only to the cameras but also to the images they produce a nice nostalgic look out of the box.
