the Fujifilm EF-42 is one of the Fuji flashes available at the market. More flash units are needed…. a new flash will come in spring 2015

_ _ _

We now have the first confirmation about an upcoming Fuji Flash… and some more specs. In fact, a trusted source just shared with all of us the following information:

A new flash will be coming out in spring (previous rumors from a new source said „within the next few months“)! According to the trusted source, the guide number will be 50. It will also have wireless control ability.

I remind you that previous rumors shared on Fujirumors said if will also have HSS capability.

Just yesterday FR-reader Sinjun asked in the comments when the December X-T1 firmware update will become available? Beginning of December, middle, end of December? Well, today a trusted source told me it will be mid-December.

So, if there are no last-minute changes, we can be pretty confident that X-T1 shooters will get the new firmware right in time for X-mas… and a silent electronic shutter could be very useful on that days (along with all the other improvements that you already know will come).

The source also confirmed that there will be a firmware for the X-E2 as well (but I don’t know if on the same date as the X-T1 firmware… I will contact the source and ask more information about it).

There is still a lot to check: will the X-E2 get Classic Chrome & the electronic shutter? Will the X-E1 and X-PRO1 be updated too? The Fujifilm X100S will also be updated, but with which features? Lot’s of questions that I will hopefully soon be able to answer.

One of their current lenses for mirrorless MFT and E-mount systems is the 19mm f/2.8.

CEO Kazuto Yamaki said at DSLRmagazine (google translation here) that the mirrorless system camera market will grow further. And he promised Sigma will expand their offer of lenses for those systems.

“[google translated] I’m pretty sure the market for CSC will grow in the future, do not know how, but we have the belief that we must support as many possible systems and already have a few goals for this segment and we would expand that product line. “

Will there also be some Fuji lenses? Officially Sigma is still denying upcoming X-mount lenses. Maybe they should take a look at the Fujifilm X-T1 sales figures and they would see that Fuji isn’t that super-small niche anymore.

New products are likely to be announced in February at the CP+ show. Fingers crossed to get some “cheap” but still good high quality lenses also for Fuji. Do not forget that Sigma can also make superb lenses like the 50mm ART which is almost as good as the 4 times as expensive Zeiss Otus. Just to say that, on paper, Sigma could match the Fuji X lens optical quality.

A FR-reader got the following information from BHphoto: the store will get the first batch of Fujifilm X100T cameras on November 18th. On the other hand, AmazonUS expected availability for the Fujfilm X100T is the 13th of November. Adorama says on their page that the X100T will be available early November.

So time for shipping is near :)
