Which Fujifilm X Mount Lens Should Fujifilm Give us in 2023? Your Suggestions to Fujifilm Here!

I actually promised myself never to do that again.

Why?

Because it was a hell of a work.

But you know what?

Screw it… You guys deserve it.

This place is what it is, because you are who you are: a passionate group of photographers who keep FujiRumors alive and interesting for all us with your comments, your votes on surveys and your participation overall.

So let me give you back something, by committing to invest countless hours into a single article.

Last time in 2017 we had 888 comments with thousands of suggestions, I collected and condensed them in a survey of 30 lenses and the final result can be seen here.

And you know what?

That survey helped Fujifilm immensely, as they took most of our top voted lenses and gave them to us exactly as we wished, as we reported here.

So let’s help the Fujifilm management again, and tell them what we need.

*** THE THREE (3) IMPORTANT RULES ***

  • Please give a maximum of 1 or 2 suggestions
    I know it is hard, but you have to tell us only your really most wanted and needed lens. So, 1 or 2 lenses. Not more.
  • Only X mount lenses
    We will make a separate article for GFX lenses. Otherwise it gets too confusing to have it all in one post
  • Not What’s on Roadmap
    Of course, do not put lenses on your wishlist that are already on the official X mount roadmap (the Fujinon XF 8mm f/3.5)

This restriction is important, as it is a first filter to really make sure we come out with a list of high priority lenses. And it also helps my work later on.

And be careful what you wish for. Put lenses on your list, that you are willing to pay for and to carry around for your needs.

Fujifilm X-T5 Manual Shares Details about Upcoming TG-BT1 Tripod Grip

We already told you about the Fujifilm TG-BT1 grip coming (later on confirmed by digicame-info).

Now digicame-info spotted a reference to the Fujifilm TG-BT1 in the Fujifilm X-T5 owners manual. It says:

Tripod Grips: TG-BT1: Record movies, take photographs, or adjust zoom on compatible power zoom lenses while holding this Bluetooth tripod grip.

It will basically work just like as the Sony Tripod Shooting Grip.

New Fujifilm X and GFX Holiday Savings Include Rebate on GFX100S – But is a Successor Really About to Come?

I can see why this speculation is coming up:

  • it’s the first time ever we have a significant rebate the stellar Fujifilm GFX100S
  • traditionally Fujifilm launched its most important cameras between January and March (GFX100S, X100V, X-T4, just to name a few), because that’s the last quarter of the Japanese fiscal year and Fujifilm wants to push sales with its biggest hits before showing up with the final figures in front of investors

Given the two reasons above, the speculations came up that we are likely going to see a Fujifilm GFX100S successor in the next few months, latest by March 2023.

And since I also got this question via email a lot today, here is what I can say so far.

I have received zero rumors about a Fujifilm GFX100S successors.

And not only that.

I have also zero hints, whispers, indications, nothing of nothing at all.

So we have two options now:

  1. the Fujifilm GFX100S successor is Fuji’s best kept secret of all times
  2. we won’t get a GFX100S successor anytime soon and certainly not within March 2023

Not a rumor, but based on 10+ years of rumor blogging, I’d say that in 99,9% of the cases option 2 is the correct one and everybody thinking the GFX100S successor is imminent will be terribly disappointed.
