It’s Christmas time. Time for wishlists and dreams.

And here on FujiRumors this means wishing and dreaming of gear that, if not this year, Santa Claus will hopefully make find us under the Christmas tree for 2024.

So here is a selection of wishes that I have received from FujiRumors community and that I now I am happy to share with all of you. Feel free to let us know if there is something among it that you’d really love to get.

I sort of made my own wishlist too, where I talk about three cameras that would push Fujifilm overnight exactly where they dreamed to be by 2019. Dear Fujifilm, listen to me, and Canon, Sony and Nikon will tremble!

Feel free to read (and watch) it all down below.

Fujifilm X Summit on February 20: What’s On Top of Your Wishlist? X100V Successor, GFX100SII, New Lenses and What Else – VOTE NOW

Share

We told you that the next Fujifilm X Summit will take place on February 20, 2024.

I thought it could be nice to see what your top wish is as far as announcements goes.

So I took all the Fujifilm gear listed on our Fujifilm 2024 overview and made a survey out of it.

To be clear, I am not saying that everything in this list will come in 2024. Some of it will come for sure, some of it has only been vaguely hinted by Fujifilm managers, and some are just mere wishes and hopes of the FujiRumors community.

To see more in detail which gear will surely come, which maybe, and which one probably not, check out our full Fujifilm 2024 overview article.

With that said, now drop your vote :).

On February 20, 2024 I would like to get:

Fujifilm X-T6 in 2024? Let’s Talk about it!

Share

After I have shared my Fujifilm 2024 – What’s Coming article, lots of you dropped me comments and emails, indicating that there should be also a Fujifilm X-T6 in 2024.

The reason why so many of you believe 2024 will be the year of Fujifilm X-T6, is because the X-T line got refreshed every two years:

  • 2014 = X-T1
  • 2016 = X-T2
  • 2018 = X-T3
  • 2020 = X-T4
  • 2022 = X-T5
  • 2024 = X-T6?

So an X-T6 has to come in 2024, right?

Well, it could be.

I have no rumors telling me it won’t come in 2024. So it’s possible.

But the list above does not really tell the whole story.

UNORDERABLE: Amazon Cancels Current Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 T/S Order, Most Samples Go to Rental Houses?

Share

Some FR-reader got a notification from Amazon, that their Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 Tilt Shift orders have been canceled. A FR-reader also passed me the following information he has received from Amazon.

Due to a lack of availability, we will not be able to obtain the following item from your order. We’ve canceled the item and apologize for the inconvenience.

The reader then wrote me:

Since my Amazon order was canceled, I’ve been looking for anyone who would take an order and put me in the queue. I got a message from Camera West that repeated the “only a handful coming to the US each month,” but added that those are all going to rental houses. Sales to consumers won’t start until June at the earliest.

At the time of this post you can’t order the Fujinon GF30mm f/5.6 T/S on Amazon anymore at Amazon.

Other stores like BHphoto here and Adorama here have not (and will not) cancel your order. But certainly it looks like you have to arm yourself with lots of patience.

It looks like we are just about to experience yet another of those wonderful Fujifilm-unique stories, where they are not able to ship gear they have announced for many many months.

One could start thinking that Fujifilm is having a “Kickstarter” approach, where they first look at how many orders come it, and then start the production accordingly. But let’s think “positive” and just say that Fujifilm vastly underestimated the demand for that lens.

What’s your experience with the GF30mm Tilt Shift? Did you get it shipped?

Sigma 50-135mm f/2.8 DC DN APS-C Lens Patent Found

Share

Recently we made a recap of all the Sigma and Tamron patented APS-C lenses.

Well, it looks like we have to add another one to the list as spotted by the Japanese website asobinet:

  • Sigma 50-135mm f/2.8 DC DN

Looking at the patent details, asobinet concludes that aberration is beautifully corrected in the entire zoom area and it has no internal zoom, unlike the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 DG DN OS full frame lens.

The new patent is very similar to the already patented Sigma 50-140mm f/2.8 DC DN and that was very high on your wishlist when I launched the survey asking you which patented Sigma/Tamron lens you’d like to get.
