When Fuji announced Firmware 4.0 for the X-T1, many X-shooters made the same question of FXF Member Sodela in this thread: “Are there plans for releasing an update for the E2 lke the 4.0 for the X-T1??”… a very Hot discussion, check it out here.

Well, we have a first official statement of Fujifilm France, who said via facebook, that:

“Following the announcement of the updated firmware of the x-T1, We received a lot of requests for an update to the x-E2. In response to these requests, we plan to publish an update to the x-E2 as soon as possible. The date of publication is not yet fixed and will depend on the changes made by this update, that we will define from the requests of our users.

This [X-E2 firmware] is possible because we know that our Japanese engineers are working on it

Fujifilm France is more sceptical to what belongs a possible update for the X-M1: “I would not say this, but the X-M1 remains more marginal. We know that it is in the study.”

Fuji really plans a Super Fast XF 33mmF1.0 (SRP)! POLL: Should Fuji go ahead and make it?

A source, who was right in the past (SRP), just gave me an update about the previously rumored super fast F1.0 lens.

The source said that it is true: Fujifilm is considering to make a super fast lens (at the moment planed as XF 33mmF1.0). The bad part of this rumor: it’s not a final decision of Fujifilm… plans could still be dropped.

So let’s help Fuji to make their final decision: do you think such a super-fast “prestige” lens (or call it “freak” lens) would be a good move by Fujifilm and how much you would eventually pay for it. And most important: how do we get away with buying the 33mmF1.0 and avoid divorce? An initial guide on How To Convince your better half can be found at our New Fuji X Forum… everyone can read it, and feel free to join the discussion with your own suggestions ;) .
