BREAKING: Another Fujinon XF f/1.4 Prime Lens Coming 2021 in Addition to XF18mmF1.4 (Not XF35mmF1.4 R WR)

Fujifilm recently said that there will be “more lenses for X and GFX mount” coming in 2021.

Of course one of those will be the Fujinon XF18mmF1.4 R WR which is on the official roadmap.

And that’s already it, no other lenses are the latest Fujinon X and GFX roadmaps.

However, FujiRumors already exclusively leaked for you that there will be also:

Now trusted sources contacted me, saying that one more lens coming in 2021 will be a Fujinon XF f/1.4 prime lens. As we told you recently, it won’t be the XF35mmF1.4 R WR, though.

So, another nice and fast f/1.4 prime will join the X club in 2021.

Fujinon XF 18-200mm F3.5-6.5 Patent Spotted in 2014 gets Patent Revival in 2021

A patent has been spotted for a Fujinon XF 18-200mm F3.5-6.5. Now, I remember that a patent about a Fujinon18-200mm F3.5-6.5 has been spotted also back in 2014, and the optical design is similar indeed.

From the patent details we see that this lens has a higher optical magnification than the XF16-80mm F4 and the XF18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 and covers the angle of view equivalent to “25.5-300mm” in full size. The patent does not mention OIS.

Fujifilm Manager at CP+: “We Will Release Many XF and GF Mirrorless Lenses This Year, So Please Look Forward to It”

Fujifilm General Manager Takashi Ueno said at the virtual CP+ convention 2021 that Fujifilm will release “many mirrorless X and GFX lenses this year“.

Well, the start in 2021 was fantastic, with the following three lenses launched:

But that is apparently not enough for 2021.

FujiRumors already told you to forget about the XF35mmF1.4MKII. That’s rocksolid multiple confirmed from several trusted sources.

What will still come for sure are:

We also know Fujifilm is also working on a Fujinon XF150-600mm, but that one should come in 2022. Of course FujiRumors is investigating and making constant progress on the rumor front, so expect updates soon.

In the meantime, down below is a summary of Fujifilm’s CP+ online talk.

BREAKING: Fujifilm Currently NOT Working on Fujinon XF35mmF1.4 MK II

Just recently we shared the news about a patent showing a Fujinon XF35mmF1.4 MKII.

I did warn you already in that article: attention, don’t get too excited about it, as this is just a patent, and as many other patents, it might never see the light of the day (remember XF16-55mmF2.8 OIS anyone?)

Well, after the article, multiple trusted sources immediately reached out to FujiRumors and told me that Fujifilm is currently not working on a Fujinon XF35mmF1.4 MKII.

Pay attention: “currently not working” does not mean Fujifilm will “never ever” make a XF35mmF1.4MKII. What it means is that right now Fujifilm is investing zero money and time into a XF35mmF1.4 MKII, and 100% of their X-mount lens R&D goes into other X glass.

What will really come?

Surely the XF18mmF1.4. Fujifilm is also working on a Fujinon XF150-600mm.

What else?

Well, I’ll let you know on FujiRumors soon enough ;).

New Fujifilm Patent Shows Fujinon XF35mmF1.4 MK II

A new Fujifilm patent published today shows an XF35mmF1.4 with a different optical design compared to the original Fujinon XF35mmF1.4, although the base lens configuration is similar.

Hence, it looks like a XF35mmF1.4 MK II lens.

Also the size seems to be a bit larger compared to the original 35mmF1.4, maybe to further improve optical quality. The size increase might also indicate a better AF motor and weather resistant design.

Here are the details of the patent:
