TTArtisan AF 56mm f/1.8 vs Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7

Share

Very recently two new 56mm autofocus lenses joined the X mount system, the TTArtisan AF 56mm f/1.8 and the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7.

FujiFanBoys made a comparison between the two lenses which you can see below to help you figure out which budget friendly 56mm option is the best for you.

Based on their comparison, I personally would go for this one. But as always in these cases, there is no “right” or “wrong” answer. It’s just a matter of personal preferences and needs.

Sigma Japan Suspends Orders for Entire DC DN Lens Lineup

Share

Sigma Japan just announced the suspension of orders for the following DC DN APS-C lenses:

So the entire APS-C lineup orders are on hold in Japan. I don’t know if this is valid for the rest of the world too, but for now they seem to be still available for order at stores like BHphoto.

The motivation they give is strange: the demand exceeds Sigma’s expectations.

So I wonder what happened. If all of a sudden demand for Sigma APS-C lenses rose strongly, or if maybe Sigma’s production capacity dropped for reasons we do not know.

Fujifilm X Summit on May 16: What is Coming and What Not, What is Rumored and What We Hope For

Share

 

So Fujifilm has announced the Fujifilm X summit for May 16.

We reported about it earlier today and in that article I also said that our sources told us the Fujifilm GFX100SII will be announced on that day.

Now the question came up if that’s the only gear Fujifilm will announce. So let me try to give you an answer.

First things first: so far I have only been told about the Fujifilm GFX100SII coming mid May.

However, we also know Fujifilm has other gear in the pipeline for the first half of 2024:

The questions are:

  • will Fujifilm announce it all together?
  • does Fujifilm prefer to give the GFX100SII a dedicated launch day, and make a separate announcement for the X-T50 and the new kit lens?
  • did I share a wrong rumor?

Well… don’t worry. We don’t share wrong rumors here. Everything will happen as we tell you it will.

But I will contact our sources and see what they have to say about it. And as soon as I can I will share an update here on FujiRumors.

And beyond that?

Well, the only gear Fujifilm has pre-announced, is the Fujinon GF500mmF5.6, but that one is listed on the official G mount roadmap as coming sometimes in 2024. So it could be on May 16, but also later on.

What’s not coming is definitely the Fujifilm X-Pro4 and also no Fujifilm GFX100R.

Hopes?

Well, I am growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of a new X mount roadmap. I keep asking for a new one since years and Fujifilm keeps ignoring our wishes. So at this point I have no expectations anymore.

Anyway… answers will come. Some of them on May 16, but many other answers will come well before that.

Stay tuned on FujiRumors ;).
