Fujinon XF33mm f/1.2 Patent Spotted

Share

Once upon a time, Fujifilm planed to make a Fujinon XF33mmF1.0, which they then scraped in favor of the smaller Fujinon XF50mm F1.0.

What we got instead, is the highly praised Fujinon XF33mmF1.4.

But it looks like at some point Fujifilm also played with the idea to make a Fujinon XF33mmF1.2, as such a patent has now been surfaced in Japanese language (down below the translated version) at IP force and found by Digicame-info.

I doubt Fujifilm will now also give us a Fujinon XF33mmF1.2, but let us know in the comments if you’d want one.

Fujifilm wins “Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2022” with Record Seven Products and Services

Share

Fujifilm won* seven “Red Dot: Brands & Communication Design 2022” Awards.

Well paid, Fujifilm!

*LOL

** Yes, I know that the more these awards companies give away awards, the more they will get money from other companies to promote their products using their logo. But I am 100% sure that these award companies refuse to earn more money by giving away more licenses and prefer to make a super tough selection, make less money and make a honest service to customers who trust those logos.

CONFIRMED: No Battery Grip Option for Fujifilm X-T5 – TRUSTED SOURCE

Share

You might remember when back in July we told you that the Fujifilm X-T5 won’t have the vertical battery grip option, making it the first Fujifilm X-T camera ever without one (the X-T1 was the first Fujifilm X camera ever to even offer a vertical battery grip, the VG-XT1).

For 76% of you guys the lack of battery grip is not a dealbreaker, but there is still a respectable 24% of potential X-T5 buyers, who would not buy the X-T5 because of that.

For those 24% the hope was high that the rumor is wrong, given the fact that it came from a new source.

However, we can now confirm by trusted sources, that the Fujifilm X-T5 will indeed have no vertical battery grip option.
