Report of Malfunction with Viltrox Lenses after Fujifilm X-T5 Firmware Update but No Problems Reported by Other X-T5 Users

Share

There are reports shared at the Japanese website Asobinet, that Viltrox lenses stop working on Fujifilm X-T5 after the latest firmware update.

A couple of hours ago I asked in our huge X-T group if anyone is experiencing such issues.

Some members tested the new firmware on their Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 and Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 and did not notice any malfunction.

This is the Sensor of the Fujifilm X100VI

Share

Back in April 2023, I made a list of which sensor I’d like in which future Fujifilm camera.

And I am happy to hear from trusted and new sources (THANKS!!!), that Fujifilm fulfilled my wish in terms of sensor for the Fujifilm X100VI.

So which one is it?

Well, according to trusted as well as new sources, Fujifilm will put the lovely 40MP X-Trans V sensor into the Fujifilm X100VI.

The additional resolution will allow you to crop in more into the files, which can be useful at times and just a bit more of flexibility to the fixed lens concept of the X100.

Of course provided that the lens is actually capable of resolving all those 40MP, which I have no doubts about, because it is a fairly new lens (refreshed with the X100V) and because I doubt Fujifilm would have used the 40MP sensor on the Fujifilm X100VI, if the lens would not have been capable to take advantage of it.

And since the lens on the X100VI is the same of the X100V, you’ll also be able to use the Fujifilm WCL-X100 and TCL-X100 conversion lenses on the Fujifilm X100VI.

So, more crop capability plus conversion lenses give a little bit extra flexibility to the Fujifilm X100VI.

And also the dynamic range will profit from the new 40MP sensor a bit.

CONFIRMED: Fujifilm X100VI Announcement on February 20 (and More?)

Share

So Fujifilm just officially announced the next Fujifilm X Summit for February 20.

And according to our sources, for sure we will get the Fujifilm X100VI on February 20.

Will we get even more?

Well, at the moment I don’t know it. But what I know is that Fujifilm has LOTS of stuff in the pipeline for the first months of 2024.

In fact, we confirm: Fujifilm will announce more cameras in the first months of 2024 than in the entire year 2023. Which means “3 or more” cameras.

We also told you that the successor of this camera here is the next MILC camera to be launched, as we reported here.

And last but not least, we already leaked the images of the next XF lens that Fujifilm will launch, which will be the replacement of this lens here. If you want you can see the images here plus read additional specs here.

Finally, there are lenses on the official Fujifilm roadmap for 2024 and other gear that could come (but we don’t really have solid rumors about them for now). We shared a big Fujifilm 2024 overview here.

I will try to figure out exactly what will come.

But for sure I can tell you now: the Fujifilm X100VI is scheduled for February 20 announcement.

Fujifilm Firmware Updates for Several Cameras (X-T5 included), XF16-55, FT-XH and Promises More Firmware Love to Come in 2024

Share

Fujifilm has released firmware updates for Fujifilm X-T5, X-T4, X-T3, X-H2, X-H2S, X-S20, X-S10 and XF16-55mmF2.8 as well as the Fujifilm FT-XH File transmitter grip.

It’s mainly (but not only) a video centric update and more lenses will get the same update in February (XF16-80mmF4 and XF18-120mmF4).

Moreover, in their recent official X Summit announcement, Fujifilm said they are “currently considering further enhancements“, which I hope will translate also on firmware love for those, who mainly use Fujifilm cameras for stills.
