Unless the rumor of the century drops today and leads to an unprecedented spike in traffic, then we are basically done with 2024 and we can look back at which were the most read articles in 2024.

  1. Fujifilm to Launch Three Cameras within First Half 2024 – But the Biggest Release is Another One ;)

  3. Fujifilm’s New Camera Coming with New Sensor Size (Never Used Before by Fujifilm)

  11. Fujifilm X-Pro4 not Coming in 2024: The End of Line or the Beginning of Something Very Special?
  12. Fujifilm’s Half Frame Camera has a 1″ Sensor
  13. Fujifilm X-Pro4 (X-Pro5?) Coming with Improved Hybrid Viewfinder (and What I Hope it Will be)
  14. Fujifilm Launches Dedicated Fujifilm Film Simulation Website
  15. CONFIRMED: Fujifilm X100VI Announcement on February 20 (and More?)

Did FujiRumors get it right?

I am surprised to see such a high interest for the Fujifilm X-M5.

A bit less surprising is to see film simulation content on the top of the ranking, especially with Classic Cuban Neg, which has quickly become a Fujifilm users favorite.

This article of 2022 still gets great views, too.

I hope you enjoyed checking out FujiRumors in 2024. And if you want, stick around also in 2025, because I have the feeling it could be a very interesting year.

Love you guys!

Brightin Star Teases New AF Lens for January 6: Just Another Redundant and Uninspiring Chinese Lens?

Share

Brightin Star is teasing a new autofocus lens to come on January 6, 2025 on their Chinese Weibo account here.

Will it be yet another redundant 23/35/50mm lens without aperture ring? Just another DJ Optical re-branded lens (like TTArtisan, 7Artisans & Co).

So, will it be just more of the same?

Of will they come up with something new, original and at least something with an aperture ring?

My guess is that it will be just more of the same. But I want to start 2025 with a glimmer of hope, so I cross fingers that it has at least an aperture ring.
