Fujifilm announced today, on March 29, that they temporarily suspend orders for some photographic films due to the lack of raw materials.
Down below you can find the press release and the affected film.
The Fujifilm X-E4 was launched in January 2021 and the last time I’ve noticed the X-E4 in stock was back in October 2021.
Not even the Fujifilm X100V has such a bad shipping record as the X-E4.
And now, after 2 years only, stores are already starting to mark it as discontinued, as for example BHphoto here (in all its combinations) and the Australian store Camerapro.
It’s a pity that such a beautiful little camera hardly ever shipped and now it even seems to be over for it.
At this point, the Fujifilm X-E5 can’t come soon enough.
Zhong Yi Optics has just released the Mitakon Creator 28mm f/5.6 lens for Fujifilm X and GFX mount.
They say they have recreated the iconic Leica Summaron M 28mm f/5.6 lens with faithful adherence to the original lens characters, all while keeping the price point affordable (like less than 1/10 ONLY). It is also available in mirrorless mounts like Sony FE, Fujifilm X and GFX, Canon RF and Lumix L mounts.

To Readers: A few hours ago I received a message from an anonymous source. It came to me via rumor box, so I have no idea, who it is and how to contact it. My only way to contact the source is via FujiRumors. I hope you don’t mind, but making a public post is the only way to reach out to the source.
TO THE SOURCE:
Thanks a lot for sharing the rumor with me.
Now, I’d love to ask you a few more questions, and also to tell you something, but for obvious reasons I can’t do it publicly via FujiRumors.
If you want to have a more direct and confidential talk, here is what you could eventually do:
If you decide to contact me, you can be sure that you’ll remain 100% anonymous.
If you decide not to contact me, feel free to keep using the rumor box if you want to share anything more. But if you want you can give yourself a nickname, so I can identify you thanks to it.
If you decide not to contact me via personal message and not to use a nickname, absolutely no problem. Feel free to keep using the rumor box 100% anonymously in case you want to share further information.
If we won’t be able to talk confidentially in private, for any eventual further communication with you I will share updates to this very same article.
Thanks again,
Mathieu Gasquet has tested the Fujifilm X-H2s and Fujifilm X-H2 for bird photography.
He compares rolling shutter, drive speed and other aspects between X-H2 and X-H2s. So definitely check out their full video above.
For the purpose of this article we will focus on one aspect only: bird autofocus tracking accuracy.
The Fujifilm X-H2s gives a total of 82% perfectly sharp images, whereas the X-H2 tops at 78%.
Here comes the “shocking” part.
In his test, the Fujifilm X-H2s with old firmware 1.03 performed better than the X-H2s with the new firmware 3.00.
This is very surprising and goes against many other tests we have seen so far, for example here and here.
But I do respect and trust Mathieu’s work and hence I share it here on FujiRumors.
And I also say to Fujifilm: go back to work and make it better with the next firmware!
