[MESSAGE TO THE ANONYMOUS FLASH RUMOR SOURCE: Thanks, and in case you decide to share more Fuji related rumors, please quote the beautiful saying you added at the bottom of your rumor, so that I can recognize you in future.]

THE RUMOR

An anonymous source told us that:

“Fuji should present a flash system for X series at the CES.”

The flash has long been rumored. A guide number of 50 or 52, HSS capability, wireless control ability… previous rumors said it will be available in spring. So, if this anonymous source is right, the flash will be announced at CES (6th to 9th of January) and available a couple of months later.

It’s an anonymous source, so, for now, take it with a grain of salt… but at least we will soon see if it’s correct.

That said, I’ll do the best I can also in 2015 to match (or exceed) the 83% correct rumor hit rate of 2014. It will be hard, but I can reach this goal with your support… so, if there is anybody out there, who has some insights to share with Fujirumors, feel free to can contact me 100% anonymously via rumor box (maybe using a nick name so that I can eventually recognize you in future) or via email at fujirumor [at] gmail.com.

After a trusted source here, now also an anonymous source (thanks) confirms the release date for the 16-55mmF2.8 OIS WR lens, and about the price it says:

“As for price it’s gonna be less than the 50-140 and I think about £900-1000“

So, while the source is sure that it will be cheaper than the XF 50-140, it seems not be 100% sure about the final retail price in UK, since it says “I THINK about £900/1000“. So take it with a grain of salt. But if true, this lens would be at least £250 cheaper than the XF 50-140, which is selling for £1250 in UK right now.

If you have read the interview with Fuji Manager Hisashi Toshi,  you’ll know that the manager said, the XF 16-55mmF2.8 will cost around 120,000 yen ($1,010). This would make it the most expensive lens in Japan after the XF 50-140 (164,000 yen = $1,381) and XF56mm APD (160,000 yen = $1,347). src – Amazon Japan

The price in Europe should be of €1049, at least according to this store here.

As always, I’ll be here on FR to make a live blogging about this lens: wherever on the world-wide web there is something worth to shared and known about this lens, I’ll let you know about it in real-time through the live blogging.

And of course, if you want to pre-order it, you can do it using one of the affiliate links featured here on Fujirumors. You’ll support this blog with no extra costs for you. Any help is appreciated.
