According to a trusted source, Fuji decided to launch an X-E2 successor. The source could not share specs for now and was also not sure if it will be called X-E2s or X-E3… but it will definitely come :)”

4K or no 4K? That is the question!
As you might remember, Fujifilm itself (via Sales Manager Makoto Oishi) said back in March here, that current X-TransII cameras cannot deliver 4K video, because “the sensor itself should have much faster reading speed”, but that 4K is definitely something they are working on for future models with new sensor and faster reading speed.
And Fuji indeed worked and is working on it. But, unlike rumored earlier, the 4K technology is apparently not yet ready for the X-Pro2.
In fact, the Top Trusted Japanese source told me that the X-Pro2 will not feature 4K video at its launch, on January 15.
Ok, after reading this rumor I feel…. say it in the comments.

HandeVision is back now, and announced a couple of new lenses, the HandeVision IBERIT f2.4 / 24, 35, 50, 75 and 90mm. They will start shipping in early 2016 for a price that goes from 480 ~ 660US dollars, depending on focal length and camera mount.
Sure, we have already lots of Fujinon lenses covering more or less the same focal lenght, but Samyang has shown that with a sound price/performance ratio, X-shooters are definitely willing to buy third-party lenses. I also own the Samyang 12mmF2 and it’s a lens I really enjoy to use for my landscape photography… and looking at the 38,942 views and 158 comments of the Fuji X Forum thread to this lens, I’d say I’m not the only one.
So it all comes down to IQ… if HandeVision can, with the IBERIT series, deliver a series that is good value for the money, I’m sure there will be enough X-shooters ready to grab one.
And if they send me one again for testing, I’ll be happy to ask my lovely friend Ellie if she’d like to play the model again ;) .
Here is the specs table (the 24 has not specs listed for now)
