7Artisans 60mm f/2.8

The previously rumored 7Artisans 60mm f/2.8 1:1 Macro lens has now been announced.

Scheduled to be released in May 2019

7Artisans 60mm F2.8 Macro is a “60mm macro lens” designed for “APS – C size” mirrorless camera that can shoot from closeup to infinity. It can be captured without disturbing from remote places such as insects and small animals, so it is suitable for shooting subjects that are difficult to close close-up.

The focus part is sharp, blurred is beautiful, and the whole is depicted richly in gradation. Ultra close-up shooting up to 5 times magnification is possible by installing an optional extension tube.

Meike MK 6-11mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for FUJIFILM X and Full X Mount Meike Lenses Overview

B&H Photo has published a practical Meike lenses overview article on their website here.

I found it interesting because I spotted one lens, I think I have never reported about it here on FujiRumors, the Meike MK-6-11mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for FUJIFILM X. So I’ll catch up today, share it with you and update the Chinese lens list below.

Not listed in the BHphoto Meike overview article, are re-branded Meike lenses, like the Neewer 35mm f/1.2 for Fujifilm X, which costs $99 only.

I also discovered that they actually make autofocus lenses, namely the Meike MK-85mm f/1.8, which is available for Canon EF mount only.

Imagine FUJIFILM would go FULL FRAME Tomorrow Morning…

If Fujifilm Would go Full Frame….

So, top Fujifilm manager Toshi Ilda said it clearly here: “We will NEVER go Full Frame!”

NOTE: this is not an article against full frame. I just try to put myself in Fujifilm’s shoes and see what it would mean for them to go full frame.

Now, apart from the fact that I 100% agree with what CanonWatch said:

Never say never, even if you’re making the best APS-C mirrorless cameras on the market

Remember when Fujifilm said they will never be able to offer IBIS on Fuji X Mount cameras?

Anyway, Fuji says. there won’t be any full frame camera, and according to this huge FujiRumors poll, most of you guys agree with Mr. Toshi.

But imagine…

Imagine Fujifilm would go full frame tomorrow morning.

Mostly due to the slower full frame sensor readout compared to APS-C (as listed in our advantages of APS-C over Full Frame), it would be a Full Frame Fujifilm that:

BREAKING: No Fujifilm X-H2 Release in 2019

Fujifilm X-H2

According to a trusted source, the Fujifilm X-H2 will not hit the market in 2019.

This rumor seem to confirm our Fujifilm X Camera replacement timeline, which shows you when we can expect the Fujifilm X-H2, Fujifilm X-T4, Fujifilm X-E4, Fujifilm X-Pro3, Fujifilm X-T30, Fujifilm X200 (or Fujifilm X100V) based on Fuji’s camera refresh rate from 2011 to 2018.

So, the Fuji X-H2 is still a long way off, hence, if you want to get the latest and greatest in the most powerful package possible now, the Fujifilm X-T3 is the way to go. And if you want IBIS, ultra rugged body and ninja mechanical shutter, go for the Fujifilm X-H1.

And given that you guys now have a first reliable Fuji XH2 time frame, I decided to launch the poll again, where you can vote if you prefer to wait for the X-H2, or you go X-T3 instead.
