My rumor box got a message again, and I’m glad to share it here with all of you.

According to the same source, who leaked the October 21 announcement date for the XF35mmF2, also the 1.4x teleconverter will be launched the very same day. Both will hit the market mid-November.

To the source: Thanks again for sharing the rumor… and for giving yourself a nick-name :)

Ok, sure, take the grain of salt. But as of now, for me X-Day is October 21… so stay tuned on FujiRumors. You’ll get the usual live-blogging session.
Fuji X Forum, Facebook, Google+, RSS-feed and Twitter

P.S.: As shared already back in Febraury 2015, the 1.4x teleconverter will work with the following lenses: XF50-140mm, XF120mmF2.8 R Macro, XF100-400mm. And as said on October 2, unless Fujifilm was able to defy the laws of physics, you’ll lose a stop of light using the 1.4x teleconverter on those lenses.

The More the Merrier :)

A kind FR-reader dropped me following email:

“ACD See Pro 9 (I like it much better then LR) now supports X-Trans RAW.”

And not only X-Trans support. This version introduces many improvements and new features. Check them out here. For the Free Trial click here.

ACD See Pro 9 is available for Windows only. [UDPATE: It looks like there is also a MAC version here.]

So how is the X-Trans conversion? Let us know in the comments and share your first samples at the dedicated Fuji X Forum thread here.

UPDATE: There is another software with X-Trans support, that I haven’t told you about since now. It’s CyberLinks PhotoDirector 7. Check it out here.

I got a hint from anonymous source (thanks a lot!), unveiling the announcement of the long-expected weather resistant XF35mmF2.

According to the source, the lens will be announced…

… on October 21. This could fit with what rumored earlier (announcement in late October).

NOTE: Anonymous sources can use a nick-name if they want, so I can recognize them in future.

And what about the 1.4 teleconverter? No word for now, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it will be announced on the same day. And btw, I know I’ve already shared this information several times on FR, but repetita iuvant: as shared first already back in Febraury 2015, the 1.4x teleconverter will work with the following lenses: XF50-140mm, XF120mmF2.8 R Macro, XF100-400mm. And as said on October 2, unless Fujifilm was able to defy the laws of physics, you’ll lose a stop of light using the 1.4x teleconverter on those lenses.
