Meike 55mm f/1.4 X Autofocus Lens for Fujifilm X Mount Hands On Images

Share

We already talked a couple of times last year about the Meike 55mm f/1.4 X for Fujifilm X.

We shared the first hands on images here and additional specs and images here.

Now the lens seems about to come, as a first hands on video appeared on the Chinese social media account 独立摄影师联合会 (which I share screenshots of in this article) and you can see the video here. Along with the video they write:

Only 1199! Open the box, the new AF55mm f/1.4 Fuji X bayonet autofocus lens, equivalent full-frame about 82.5mm viewing angle, the nearest focus distance is 0.61m, 52mm filter interface, weighing about 288 grams, with Fuji X, Sony E, Nikon Z and R mount.

This will be Meike’s second AF X mount lens after the Meike AF 85mm f/1.8.

This is just one of the many third party AF lenses we have been promised to come in 2024 by various companies:

Fujinon XF 16-55mmF2.8 Emergency Firmware Available

Share

Fujifilm has released the emergency firmware for the Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR that was promised to us a few days ago.

Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 ver.1.31 – download here
The firmware update Ver.1.31 from Ver.1.30 incorporates the following issue:

We have found some malfunctions (Phenomenon in which the exposure of a captured image becomes abnormal in combination with a certain focal length and aperture value) in the firmware Ver. 1.30 released on 22 Jan 2024.
Customers who have updated to Ver.1.30 should update to Ver.1.31.
If you update to Ver.1.31, the functions will be the same as Ver.1.20 and the following functions (*) added in Ver.1.30 will no longer be available.
* Improved exposure tracking during zoom operation.

Now THAT was fast. Considering that I would love to update my Fujinon GF50mmF3.5 firmware, but that one is suspended since forever (same thing also for the GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 WR). Dear Fujifilm, in case you don’t know, we also use your GFX gear. So we’d love a fix for that too.

LEAKED: First (Pixelated) Images of Fujifilm X100VI Unveil no D-Pad

Share

These are very likely the images of the Fujifilm X100VI.

The images are partially pixelated and overall low resolution, and yet they unveil something that you guys asked me: will it have a D-Pad? The answer based on these images is clearly “no”!

How can we be sure that it is not the X100V?

Well, it looks like next to the DISP/BACK button there is an additional logo printed (probably bluetooth logo). And that one is not there on the Fujifilm X100V. So this is a different X100 camera.

And THANKS a lot to the FR-reader for sending them to us.
