Special Mention (in UK):
Viltrox has shared an updated to their lens roadmap for 2024.
There are a couple of FF lenses on the roadmap and, more relevant for us, a new f/1.2 APS-C lens which will come in addition to the two f/1.2 lenses Viltrox already offers.

The patent for the Sigma 20mm f/1.4 lens (as well as 23mmF1.4) has been spotted by the Japanese website Asobinet here.
This is just a variation of what would ultimately become the Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN, so there are close to zero chances that Sigma will release also the Sigma 20mm f/1.4.

Today several shops in Japan announced the lottery rules for the Fujifilm X100VI.
Those rules are targeted against the scalpers, like the requirement to have a purchase history at a given store.
If you have no purchase history at a certain store, you will also not able to enter the lottery and consequently buy the Fujifilm X100VI.
If that rule would have been set also at the Australian store, then the ridiculous resell of the limited edition Fujifilm X100VI for 18,000 USD would have been impossible. The guy who is trying to sell the limited edition X100VI at that ridiculous price just entered the lottery from USA having no purchase history at the House of Photography in Australia. He won the lottery, and of course he went ahead trying to sell it with an immense profit.
I think that’s a smart move and hopefully other Fujifilm branches around the world will take an example on how Japan is handling it.
You can read the full article about how Fujifilm Japan is handling the X100VI orders in a dedicated article at fotograficzny here.
