UPDATE – Fujinon XF 16-80mm F4 (and XF16/2.8?) Shipping in November 2018 says Authorized Fujifilm Seller – To be announced with Fujifilm X-T3?

Fujinon XF16-80mmF4 and XF16mmF2.8

UPDATE: Our sources told us that Cameranu is wrong and that the lenses will come in 2019 as written on the roadmap – full report here

A few days ago Cameranu (an important Dutch store and also an authorized Fujifilm dealer) listed the XF16-80mmF4 WR, the XF33mmF1.0 and XF16mmF2.8 at their store.

Officially, Fujifilm’s latest roadmap says the XF16-80mm F4 and XF16mm F2.8 will come in 2019, whereas the XF33/1 in 2020.

But there could be a pleasing surprise :)

After reading the article on FujiRumors, one of our readers contacted Cameranu and asked them more details about the lenses.

Well, the store answered, and the reader send me the screenshot of the stores’ email. It’s in Dutch, and here is what it says in short:

“The expected shipping date for the XF16-80mmF4 is November“

It is not super clear, but it seems that also the XF16mmF2.8 could ship this year.

Cameranu expects to get more details about these lens pretty soon.

If this information is accurate, then I guess we can expect the lenses (except for the XF33/1) to be annonced along with the Fujifilm X-T3 very soon.

I guess Camernu does not make up just some stuff to fool their customers. If they say this, then I am sure it is because their Fujifilm rep told them so.

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-T3 Will Cost Less than Fujifilm X-T2 (less than $1,599) – TRUSTED SOURCE

Fujifilm X-T3 – The Affordable Flagship

Busy news days! Here a few of the articles published in the last 36 hours on FR:

  • Read here – R&D Investment for Fujifilm X-T3, GFX 50R and GFX 100S Stops Operating Income Grow
  • Read here – Nikon FF Mirrorless Vs. Fujifilm GFX 50S Size Comparison
  • Read here – Fujinon XF 33mmF1.0: Why We Should Buy it and How YOU Helped Fujifilm Japan
  • Read here – Cactus RQ250 TTL Wireless Monolight for Fujifilm
  • Read here – Shoten/Techart Canon EF to Fuji GFX AF Firmware Update Released
  • Read here – Fuji Guys Fujifilm XF10 Top Features
  • Read here – Lensbaby Sol 45 f/3.5 Tilt-Shift Lens for Fujifilm X Cameras

A powerful new sensor, a fast processor, 20fps bursts, packed with many new features, the best Fujifilm X series camera ever made… and yet, the Fujifilm X-T3 won’t be that pricy as one could imagine.

In fact, I have been told by a trusted source (thanks), that the Fujifilm X-T3 will cost less than the Fujifilm X-T2 at it’s current official price tag (without rebates), hence less than $1,599.

$1,499? $1,399? Or even less, maybe $1,299 like the X-T1 launch price? Now that thing starts to be affordable also for my savings account :).

But one thing is sure: competition is a good thing for us customers, since I doubt Fujifilm would have sold the Fujifilm X-T3 for a lower price than X-T2, if the Full Frame Sony A7III would not have hit the market with a $2,000 price tag.

And if the rumor of the X-T3 stacked sensor is true, then the Fujifilm X-T3 is basically a Sony A9 for about 1/3 of the price.

Rumored Fujifilm X-T3 Specs

Top 10 FujiRumors Posts for July 2018 – Fujifilm XF10 Anyone?

Top Ten FR posts + the invisible XF10

I usually never do it… or I do only my Top/Flop posts at the end of the year, but this month I decided to share with you the top 10 posts of FujiRumors in July.

Why?

Because looking at the FujiRumors visits, it seems that many did not notice that, nestled between an amazing new roadmap and gorgeous new lenses, hidden between Fujifilm X-T3 buzz and new Kaizen firmware, Fujifilm also announced a new camera, called Fujifilm XF10.

The Fujifilm XF10 live blogging was one of the least followed live blogging I have ever done, even though I told you a few days before it would come July 19 (as opposed to the “surprising” XF8-16 and XF200 live blogging on July 20, which on FR went online at the very same second the lenses were announced).

But I guess this was to expect, since the XF10 was overshadowed by the XF 8-16 and XF 200 leaks, as well as by the new roadmap lens rumors. And add to that, that the Fujifilm XF10 is not the X70 successor many of us were hoping for.

Anyway… even though it seems that almost nobody here on FR cares about the XF10, I will try to give it a little bit of visibility by sharing two links with XF10 coverage you might want to check out.

With that said, here are the top ten FujiRumors posts of July 2018:

FujiRumors is Back from “Holidays”: Ready for Rumors and Editing Pictures (but Fujifilm Film Simulations make Life Easier)

FujiRumors Blogging on the Road :)

My Holidays

It’s done… I made it…

I drove over 2,500 miles (4,000+ km) with my girlfriend on my old Mazda2 and since a few days now I am back home.

It was a rather complicated road trip, due to the huge Fujifilm rumors and announcements in July. But I had great moments during my trip, and also blogging was exciting… especially the new roadmap made me happy :)

I am now about to edit my images, but I am so happy that I guess in about 80% of the cases I will get excellent results applying Fujifilm film simulations only (or slightly fine tuned).

I travelled with my Fujifilm X-E3, XF10-24, XF18-135, XF35mmF1.4, XF27mmF2.8 and Samyang 12mm F2.

And of course my trusty Sirui T-025X carbon fiber travel tripod (bought upon your recommendation).

My most used lenses were the XF10-24 and XF18-135, since I mostly focussed on landscape photography in this trip.

I used the 35 and 27 mainly to make some portraits of my girlfriend and some street photos, but so far I could not convince her to give me permission to share them on FujiRumors, but I’ll not give up, and if I get permission, I will share them on my Instagram page here.

I have shared the first few images of my trip on my social media already (more will come), so in case you would like to find out which places I have been to, just check out my Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages.

Just a teaser (includes yet unedited images):

Your Rumors

Now I am back… 100% focussed on FujiRumors… and I tell you: I have the feeling that rumors will come. Many of them. And here is what you should do, if you don’t want to miss them:

  • ALLOW PUSH NOTIFICATION: at the bottom right of your browser, you’ll see a little bell icon. Click on it to enable browser push notifications (or disable them, if you don’t want them). This is an excellent way to get instant notifications.
  • FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: another excellent way to get the rumors in your news feeds is to follow Fujirumors on Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter

Guys, we are going to have fun… and I have the feeling you don’t want to miss the exciting Fujifilm rumors that are coming ;)

FIRST IMAGES of FUJINON XF 16-80mm F4 and XF 16mm F2.8

New Roadmap Lenses Images

Yesterday Fujifilm announced a new Fujinon X mount lens roadmap, along with the XF 8-16mm F2.8 and XF 200mm F2. Of course we reported about immediately here on FujiRumors Live Blogging.

The new roadmap includes the following 3 new lenses:

  • Fujinon XF 16-80mm F4
  • Fujinon XF 33mm F1.0
  • Fujinon XF 16mm F2.8

Now the first images of the XF 16-80mm F4 and XF 16mm F2.8 mock ups start surfacing on the web, and you can see them down all below and have been shared at dc.watch and by pw-pix2 at dpreview.

In addition to that, you will see also more real life images of the XF 8-16mm F2.8 and XF 200mm F2.

As you can see, despite I am currently on holidays (driving to Matera now), I will not miss a single tidbit and break it all for you here on FujiRumors first. This and more, for the wonderful community around FR, who was even able to dictate to the Japan Fujifilm Headquarter the lenses we want next ;)

And I tell you… it’s by far not over and more great stuff is coming soon!

Make sure to follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter.

EPIC FUJIFILM Day Recap: XF10 Announced, Fujifilm Copies FujiRumors Lens Roadmap, XF8-16 and XF200 Specs, New Firmware & More

A Huge Fujifilm Day Needs a Huge FujiRumors Recap

Lucky me that I am on holiday in South Italy, Tropea, right now… because here coffee is super strong, cheap and delicious… and I take tons of it in these days, to survive the immense and sleepless live blogging and rumors.

Yes, I know, in theory this should be my holidays, a travel through France and Italy that you can follow on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter

But I canceled all my planed day trips, island hopping boat tours, the sunset/sunrise photographing, and I will remain locked in my room with my 3G hotspot to deliver you guys what you deserve: the best Fujifilm coverage in the known universe ;)

It’s just an fun moment to be a Fujifilm shooter, and in the last 24 hours a lot happened.

So I thought it’s time to give you a quick summary of what happened, just in case you tuned in on FR only now, or in case you are confused by all the articles.

NEW LENS ROADMAP

You might remember how 1.5 years ago, I asked you guys what you would like to see next from Fujfiilm. I got several thousands lens suggestions, and I worked day and night to sum up all your ideas into 30 lenses.

And then over 15,000 of you voted, and the result was clear

  • most wanted zoom: XF 16-80mm F4
  • most wanted prime: XF 33mm F1

Of course I knew Fujifilm will take note of our wishes. But not only they took note, the copied them 1:1, so now we will get them both… plus one more, the XF 16mm F2.8, which I think is mainly ment to be a fine Vlogging lens. Now I wonder… does Fujifilm really read your comments and look at your poll votes ??? ;)

So here is the magic trio that will be soon part of the roadmap.

  • XF 16mm f2.8 R WR
  • XF 16-80mm f4 R LM OIS WR
  • XF 33mm F1 R WR

For the latest roadmaps rumor coverage, check:

  • fujirumors.com – Fujifilm’s New Lens Roadmap: XF 16mm F2.8, XF 16-80mm F4 and XF 33mm F1.0
  • fujirumors.com – Fujinon XF 200mm F2 Shipping in October and XF 8-16 Available in November

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU GUYS… because

…together we worked very hard for the lens wishlist, and your fantastic feedback and massive participation to this blog (and pressure on Fujifilm thanks to your poll votes), made the XF 33mm F1.0 and XF 16-80mmF4 come true.

You can get the complete XF 33mm F1.0 FULL FRAME KILLER Recap here.

FUJINON XF 8-16mm F2.8 and XF 200mm F2 Specs, Images, Price & Press Release

3 Big Errors FUJIFILM Makes in the Camera, Lenses and Instax World

3 Big Fujifilm Mistakes

Fujifilm is doing a lot of things right… but not everything.

So what I want to do today is to highlight 3 errors Fujifilm makes, 1 in the camera division, 1 regarding its lenses and a last one in the Instax world.

You might argue that this is just my opinion, and that’s correct… but also consider this:

Working everyday for such a large Fujifilm community here on FujiRumors, hence reading an average of 124 comments a day as well as a countless number of emails and personal messages on our social media, gives me a privileged insight of what are the needs and wishes that circulate amongst Fujifilm lovers.

So here are 3 errors I am sure will find a good number of you guys agree with me.
