A new Fuji X Era is Coming ;)

XF23mmF2 WR

There was a day, back in February 2016, where many of us started dreaming: it was the day, I’ve shared the first rumor about the XF23mmF2 WR. Well, it’s soon time to wake up, since Fujifilm is just about to announce it… precisely on the 25th of August 2016.

The Time? Well, usually Fujifilm announces new gear at around 06:00 or 07:00 AM Berlin Time, so around midnight or 01:00 AM New York Time.

Oh, and the XF23mmF2 WR won’t be the only X-gear that will be presented to the world on that day. In fact, on the 25th, we will also see the Fujifilm X-A3 (first rumors here).

So here is what we have to do:

1) You all now have to cancel any commitment you have for August 25 in order to follow the Live Blogging here on FR.
2) Stealthy Ninja should carefully read this and buy some of these.
3) It’s clear that, after the XF23mmF2 WR hits the market, X-shooters won’t need anything else anymore forever in their entire photography life. I’ll therefore close FujiRumors. Fellow X-shooters, it was an honour to have you on board and to share with you a short piece of our journey. May the focus be with you ;)

stay tuned,
