Voigtländer Nokton 23mmF1.2 X Announcement in March and Shipping in April

According to rumors found and shared at Japanese websites such as Asobinet and Digicame-Info, the Voigtländer Nokton 23mmF1.2 for Fujifilm X will be announced “later this month” and ship in April.

We can be sure that the original source of this leak is Nokishita, who is all but gone ;).

This will be Cosina’s second Fujifilm X mount lens with electronic contacts after the Voigtländer Nokton 35mmF1.2 X.

Sigma 18-50mm f/2 DC DN Mirrorless APS-C Lens Patent Found

A new patent for the Sigma 18-50mm f/2 DC DN APS-C lens has been found, basically a faster version of the current Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN which will come for Fujifilm X mount in December 2022.

Asobinet, who spotted the patent, says [google translated]:

Looking at the lens configuration, it is very similar to the 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN (not 100% match). Perhaps F2 zoom was one of the options during the examination stage of practical use lenses. However, now that F2.8 zoom has appeared, it seems unlikely that F2 zoom will see the light of day.

I love the size (and price) of the current Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8, but an f/2 version would be a nice addition too.

Linguine/Spaghetti with shrimp and rocket salad (Rucola) and lemon and tomato

Time to prepare: 15/20 minutes – 2 people

Put the pasta… and let it cook while you prepare the sauce.

Sauce: Fry a bit of garlic and chili for a few minutes (low heat, don’t let the garlic turn brown). Then throw in some nice, fat shrimps (raise the heat). Let them fry 1 or 2 minutes with the garlic. Then put in a bit of decent white wine (about half a wine glass). Cook for 1/2 more minutes with rather hot flame. Then put in some tomato cut in smaller pieces (should be very mature tomato). Let it all cook for a few more minutes at medium heat (4/5minutes).

Drain the spaghetti/linguine and throw them in the sauce (keep a bit of cooking water in a glass, so if the sauce turns to dry, you can use the cooking water to make it more creamy). Then add the juice of half a lemon (for 200/250g of pasta), the skin of half a lemon and the rocket salad to taste (simply ripped in smaller pieces with your hands) and mix it all nicely.

Now you can serve the dish… and if you do so, feel free to send me the images via email at fujirumor@gmail.com. ;)
