FUJIFILM will develop an XF 8-16mmF2.8 WR lens! (SRP) – With POLL

8-16

[wysija_form id=”1″]

_ _ _

Back in October 2015 here, a source told us about an internal Fuji roadmap showing the XF200mm, XF33mmF1.0 and also an 8mm lens. Moreover, the same source told us that a firmware update will make the video button on the X-T1 customizable.

The Video FN-button happened, the XF200mm has been confirmed by other sources here, the XF33mmF1.0 is confirmed too (but could be delayed, since Fujifilm decided to focus on smaller WR lenses).

What remains so far is the XF8mm… no one ever confirmed it, but the source mentioned above has proven to be pretty reliable.

Well, today I got word from a source, who was right in the past: Fuji will develop a XF8-16mmF2.8! When will it come? I don’t know, but I guess it will take still quite a bit.

This could mean that:

A) the 8mm rumor was wrong
B) the 8mm was right at the time of sharing, but Fuji changed (as so often) plans.
C) Fuji will launch both, the 8mm and 8-16mm

I do not believe that Fuji will launch both, 8mm + 8-16mm. However, until I can’t 100% categorically exclude that Fujifilm has no plans to develop the 8mm lens, I’ll let it there in the rumored roadmap.

Also, considering there is also the quite amazing (and affordable) [shoplink 45870 ebay]Samyang 8mm X-mount fisheye lens[/shoplink], I think it’s a better move for Fujifilm to put its resources in the XF8-16mmF2.8 WR.

From all the upcoming lenses in the FR rumored roadmap, I'm mostly looking forward to the...

Final Update :: Impact of the Earthquake in Kumamoto Prefecture on the operations of FUJIFILM Corporation

Share

May 26, 2016

FUJIFILM Corporation would like to express its deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences to the people affected by the recent series of earthquakes centered in the Kumamoto region in Japan.

FUJIFILM Kyusyu Co., Ltd., located in Kikuyo-cho, Kumamoto, has been working toward the resumption of its operations in cooperation with Fujifilm Group companies and other support companies. The company commenced trial operations on April 23 and full operations have now been resumed at the first trial facility. The resumption of operations has also been successfully achieved at other facilities, and on May 22, the company had finally resumed full operations at all its facilities. The operations of FUJIFILM Kyusyu have now reached pre-earthquake production levels.
The company resumed the shipping of stock from its warehouse on April 19, and has also started shipping products that have been manufactured in facilities at which operations have resumed.

Damage to the warehouse was minimal, and resumption of operations proceeded smoothly and quicker than expected. Fujifilm estimates that the impact on its business in the current fiscal year will also be minimal. The continued understanding, cooperation and support of many companies has been most greatly appreciated.

FUJIFILM Kyusyu will exert its utmost efforts to carefully maintain all its operations while the probability of aftershocks subsides.
The Fujifilm Group will continue to improve its business continuity plan based on the lessons learned from this recent experience.

So what… when will the Fujifilm X-T2 be announced… in June or July?

It’s not that easy to give a definitive answer… the earthquake in Japan, the strong X-Pro2 sales, last minutes bugs and what not can influence Fuji’s decision about the X-T2 launch anytime.

But, looking at the way things are going at the moment, everything is pointing towards…
