I know, here on FujiRumors you are used to get answers about upcoming Fuji gear, and not questions.

But today (with the expressed permission of a source) I decided to share the Fujifilm X-E3 “rumor-riddle” in reply to all those asking me information about it via email and in the comments.

The question is the following: “Will there ever be a Fujifilm X-E3“?

You might remember how back in January I’ve shared some “Wild Rumors” (Nr.1 and Nr.2) of a dc.home forum member called joofei. It was a very long list of rumors, some plausible, others pretty weird. I’ve contacted my sources and we talked about it.

For now I can confirm just one thing that joofei said over at dchome: there really was (and probably still is) a debate inside Fujifilm, about whether they should make or not the Fujifilm X-E3.

Will the Fujifilm X-E3 ever become real? As soon as any of my sources has 100% certainty about Fuji’s final decision, I’ll post an update for you here on FujiRumors… so stay tuned and follow FR on Facebook, Google+, RSS-feed and Twitter.

Now I’d like to hear what you guys think about it. Should Fuji make an X-E3 or not? Vote the poll and feel free to drop your considerations in the comments.

An anonymous source (with nick-name) just shared with us the following rumor: the XF 90mm F2 will come in July.

The source also claims it had the opportunity to see some samples taken with a prototype circulating in the US and says it is “Fujinon at its best. Probably best XF prime!”

I remind you that Fuji Guy Greg said to BigHeadTaco here that it will be weather sealed.

Are you a Left or Right Eye Shooter?
