Fujifilm Medium Format Rumor: Here is the answer to one of the 7 Crucial MF Questions ! (Source Right in the Past).

Today we might have found the answer to the 2^nd most voted of our 7 crucial Medium Format questions:

According to a source, who was right in the past (thanks), Fujifilm is right now putting lots of R&D into creating a complete new interchangeable lenses Medium Format camera system (so no fixed lens MF).

Of course, take the grain of salt. This is still Not really the Medium Format Rumor Breakthrough we are waiting for, since, until now, no trusted source confirmed that Fuji is really working on it!

And while I’m dazzled by this rumor, I know that a humble enthusiast photographer like me is probably not the target of such a camera, and it would be out of my budget anyway (not even tax deduction for teachers buying cameras :( ).

But I believe that an interchangeable lenses Medium Format Fuji could find its niche amongst PRO’s and turn out to be a profitable business for Fujifilm.

Now, I have no idea how much this camera would cost, but if it was priced somewhere between the Pentax 645D and the Pentax 645Z digital MF cameras, then the MF-Fuji might even become Fujifilm’s new golden egg laying goose (this, and the Hello Kitty Instax, of course :) ).

It’s hard to get on MF rumors, really hard… but it’s not a Mission Impossible. So stay tuned on FR via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter,

I’ll try to get a confirmation by trusted sources ASAP… since then, take the grain of salt, and then start dreaming :)

Rumors
24 Comments

Will the current Metz 44 AF-1 Flash get an update very soon?

_ _ _

According to a New Source, Metz will very soon announce a Fuji X-series compatible version of its Metz 44 AF-1 Flash with on camera TTL capability (and maybe also slave function). The source says, that the guide number will remain the same (44), but there will be the addition of a multi-level LED.

Currently the Metz 44 AF-1 is available for the Nikon/Fuji hybrids, like the S series.

The first X-series compatible Metz flash is the Metz 26 AF-1 (specs & price), anncounced back in October 2014 and which, according to BHphoto here, should be available on December 22.

First off: take the grain of salt.

Here is a list of specs send to me by an anonmyous source (thanks). The specs in green are those already rumored previously here on FR & confirmed by this source, while the specs in red are new.

24MP
dual SD
more than 200 AF points (2/3 are PDAF)
Hybrid Viewfinder as X100T
1/8000 shutter speed
1/250 flash sync speed
no tilt LCD
ISO200-12800

The announcement:

The upcoming X-Pro2 is very likely the real reason behind the huge rebates on basically All X-gear. The savings go up to $900 — LIST OF SAVINGS HERE… and we now have one more confirmation, that the X-Pro2 is about to come.

After debunking fake rumors (not shared here on FR), that the X-Pro2 will be announced at CES, our sources said back in October here, that the X-Pro2 will be announced on January 15. This date (Janaury 15) has now been confirmed, in public, by Magnum Photos. After leaking two X-Pro2 images, Magnum justifies the removal of the photographs as follows:

“Embargo till Jan. 15 2016 due to contract with the camera manufacturer“.

Fuji X70 already in the hands of selected photographers for testing – New Source

According to a new source, Fujifilm already shipped some X70’s to selected photographers for testing.

The X70 rumor is one of the oldest here on Fujirumors. A few years ago Fuji already was close to make it, but they stopped its development and put plans on ice.

If this rumor is correct, than Fujifilm not only decided to make it, but it’s development is actually at an advanced stage and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it become real within the first half of 2016 (but I have no rumors about it’s release date for now).

According to the rumors, the X70 is an EVF-less & smaller version of the X100 line.

And yes… don’t forget the grain of salt

take care
