Free FPS (Fujifilm Professional Services) Coming to USA Soon, Report Says

According to Chris Dodkin*, a new FPS (Fujifilm Professional Services) is going to be launched soon in USA. Chris wrote here:

A new look FPS is supposed to be imminent in the US. Based on ownership of gear rather than paying a boat load of cash each year. Australia have already adopted the new model. I got my info direct from a Fujifilm employee.

Here is how it works:

To qualify, enthusiasts must have purchased at least one qualifying GFX camera body and GF lens; or two qualifying X Series bodies and three XF lenses in the last 24 months, and professional photographers must have purchased at least one qualifying camera body and lens in either X or GFX Series in the last 24 months.

So, by purchasing your gear under the above mentioned conditions, you get access to FPS at no additional costs.

It works like this also in Europe (not sure if in all countries). Check out for example Fujifilm UK here, where you can also read the full terms and conditions.

*Chris Dodkin also published the latest #BB Magazine, with lots of GFX work inside. Check it out here.

In Japan, Fujifilm Professional Service costs $45 a Year for GFX and X Cameras with Lots of Benefits

Three Fujifilm Cameras Registered, But When Will they Come? Time Span Between Fujifilm X/GFX Registrations and Announcement

Fujifilm has recently registered three cameras:

The inevitable question that pops up in the comments when this happens, is how long the time span is between registration of a camera and its announcement.

To answer that, I looked back to the past time span between registrations and announcements, and here is what we see:

  • 1 month = 4 cameras (X-T2, X-E3, X-T100, X-T30)
  • 2 months = 3 cameras (X-T20, X100F, XF10)
  • 3 months = 3 cameras (X-T3, GFX50R, GFX100)
  • 6 months = 1 camera (X-H1)

It’s clear that we usually get a camera between 1 and 3 months after registration (with exception of X-H1, which needed 6 months).

Clearly this would indicate of 3 cameras coming within November, although the X-H1 shows that a longer wait is not impossible, hence an announcement within February 2020 (6 months).

What could these cameras be?

The contact form on FujiRumors is open for any hint (thanks), and the comments for the wildest speculations :).

FR reader Jan (thanks) just informed me that Friidesign trilens for Fujifilm X mount is coming in about one month.

What is the Friidesign trilens? Well, the image above is quite self-explanatory. In short: if you also think changing lenses sucks, than you might be interested in the trilens (see video below).

A similar product for Fujifilm X is already offered by Fotodiox. It’s the Fotodiox Pro lens cycler with mounts for 2x Fujifilm X series lenses. But that one holds only 2 lenses, and not 3.

3½ Reasons Why Fujifilm is Waiting so Long to Release the Fujifilm X100V

Fujifilm X100V

When I recently posted the huge Fujifilm camera release timeline, I made one single error, that thankfully you guys corrected in the comments.

I calculated, that the Fujifilm X100 series got a refresh every 2 years, which is absolutely correct. But then, based on that refresh cycle, I said that the X100V should come two years after the X100F (which was announced in January 2017).

But this would mean the Fujifilm X100V should have hit the market in January 2019, which evidently it has not. Our sources say it will come at some point in 2020.

Now, not to justify my error, but, well, I run FujiRumors 365 days a year non stop, and I wrote that particular article in a bar, drinking beer, while waiting for the rain to stop and finally go out shooting again with my X-E3, as you can see here. Well, at this point I’ll just say is that it rained a lot that day ;)

I apologize if I confused you guys, so I felt I need to address this in a dedicated article.

But also, this is a good opportunity to quickly discuss, why Fujifilm is waiting so long, to finally give us a successor to the Fujifilm X100F.

Down below 3½ reasons for that:
