BREAKING: No Fujifilm X-H2 Release in 2019

Fujifilm X-H2

According to a trusted source, the Fujifilm X-H2 will not hit the market in 2019.

This rumor seem to confirm our Fujifilm X Camera replacement timeline, which shows you when we can expect the Fujifilm X-H2, Fujifilm X-T4, Fujifilm X-E4, Fujifilm X-Pro3, Fujifilm X-T30, Fujifilm X200 (or Fujifilm X100V) based on Fuji’s camera refresh rate from 2011 to 2018.

So, the Fuji X-H2 is still a long way off, hence, if you want to get the latest and greatest in the most powerful package possible now, the Fujifilm X-T3 is the way to go. And if you want IBIS, ultra rugged body and ninja mechanical shutter, go for the Fujifilm X-H1.

And given that you guys now have a first reliable Fuji XH2 time frame, I decided to launch the poll again, where you can vote if you prefer to wait for the X-H2, or you go X-T3 instead.

Fujifilm X-T3 w/grip (save $130): BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama, Focuscamera
Fujifilm X-H1 (save $250): BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama, Focuscamera

Fujinon XF16mmF2.8 vs XF18mmF2 vs XF16mmF1.4 – SIZE COMPARISON

Fujinon XF18mmF2 Vs XF16mmF2.8 vs XF16mmF1.4

This is the final upcoming Fujinon XF lens size comparison. In previous articles we covered:

The XF16mmF2.8 is a bit bigger than the XF18mmF2 and a bit smaller than the XF35mmF2.

The comparison is based on the images I took and what I have seen with my own eyes at the Photokina Fujifilm booth.

Of course this can’t be super-accurate, but I’d say it’s 85+% close to perfection. Keep in mind, though, that the size of the XF16mmF2.8 mockup I have seen at photokina might change until the final lens is released sometimes in 2019.

First Images and Specs of New 7Artisans 60mm F2.8 1:1 Macro Lens for Fujifilm X Mirrorless Cameras

Mirrorlessrumors received the first images and specs of the 7Artisan 60mm f/2.8 1:1: Macro lens.

It will be available for Fujifilm X mirrorless APS-C cameras as well as Sony E, EOS-M and MFT mount.

First sample image at the bottom of this article.

Mirrorlessrumors notes that the description contains an error when describing the lens construction, since this is a screenshot from a beta page that is still under construction and mistakes will be fixed.

Checking the complete list of current and future native X-mount lenses, I see currently only three native 1:1 macro lenses for Fujifilm X available:

The 7Artisan 60mm f/2.8 1:1 Macro lens will add to the already wide range of Chinese made Fujifilm X mount lenses. Full list below:

Samyang to Launch Fujifilm X Autofocus Lenses in 2019 – Anonymous Source

Samyang AF Lenses for Fujifilm

I have been contacted by an anonymous source, who told FujiRumors that Samyang/Rokinon does plan autofocus lenses for Fujifilm X mount and that they might come as soon as 2019.

I am a proud owner of the Fuji X-mount Samyang 12mmF2 lens, my go-to lens for astrophotography, and I can’t recommend this lens enough to every X-shooter. So I am definitely looking forward to these rumored Samyang autofocus lenses.

The Samyang/Rokinon autofocus lens for Fujifilm would not be the first third party lens with autofocus support for Fujifilm.

In fact, Viltrox already announced (and is taking pre-orders here) the Viltrox 85mmF1.8 X mount autofocus lens. And of course there is the Zeiss Touit Fujifilm X Mount Trinity.

At Photokina, I went hands on with a pre-production Viltrox 85mm F1.8 AF lens using a Fujifilm X-H1, and I share an autofocus video as well as JPEG and RAW samples to download here.

Since this rumor comes from an anoymous source (thanks for sharing), take it with a grain of salt for now. But consider that also my very best sources started (and often still are) anonymous sources, who use a nick name.

Tell me How to Handle Rumors

First of all, thank to everybody, who shares rumors 100% anonymously using the rumor box. If you’d use a nick-name when sharing, it would be incredible helpful for me. But if you prefer not to, that’s fine, too.

With that said, here is how I handle anonymous rumors.

Honestly, if I would share every fake rumors I get, I’d have at least 1 or 2 rumors to share a day.

But I prefer to keep my rumor-filter pretty strict, since FujiRumors shares about 100 rumors a year with almost 100% hit rate, and I would like to keep it that way.

Personally I have tried to find a balance between taking some risks and keeping a high accuracy, but you guys can tell me if you want me just to share everything I get, apply a preliminary filter at my discretion or share only trusted rumors. Vote the poll below.
