RUMOR: New Fujinon X Mount Lens Roadmap with One Prime and One Zoom Mark II Lens – Vote Your Favorite

Share

A Fujifilm manager told us back in February, there will be 4 Fujinon X mount lenses coming in the next 12 months (meaning latest within February/March).

FujiRumors already told you that those would be the Fujinon XF 50mm f/1.0, the Fujinon XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 and two Fujinon X mount MK II Lenses.

And to be more specific, there will be one X mount prime MK II lens and one X mount zoom MK II lens.

So the recap:

Down below you can find two survey, where I include all older lenses. Well, not really all. I decided to focus on those, that are not weather sealed and I only included XF lenses (not XC lenses).

The FujiRumors picks?

In terms of primes, I own 4 or 6 primes listed below. From those four, the one I desire most is an XF27mmF2.8 MK II with aperture ring (weather sealing not so important in my case).

Why not refresh the magical XF35mm f/1.4? Well, first off, already in February 2019, I wrote a post, where I argued why they should not refresh that lens. In addition to the reasons given there, I add that there are lots of 35mm lenses already out there, and now that also the Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 AF lens hit the market, I don’t see any urgency to refresh it.

Also, after Fujifilm axed the Fujinon XF33mm f/1.0 in favor of the Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0, what I really want now is an XF35mm f/1.2.

In terms of zooms, I own all three in the list below. They all are in need of a refresh, and I have a favorite MK II candidate also in this case. But I won’t say anything here and just see what you guys vote down below.

Fujifilm X-T4 Top Seller at Mapcamera (Japan)

Share

The Japanese store MapCameras published their top selling camera rankings for last month.

The Fujifilm X-T4 leads the pack, and we find other 3 Fujifilm in the top 10. I am surprised to see the Fujifilm X-H1 in there, not because it would not deserve that spot, but because it is discontinued on so hard to find anywhere.

Of course thet Mapcamera data is not representative for overall sales.

With that said, if big retailers share their sales data, it might not be representative for the overall market, but it can still give an approximate indication of what the market wants and how different markets react to different products.

So, down below is Mapcamera ranking for April 2020

How to Use Your Fujifilm Camera as a Webcam for Free (No Need of Camlink 4K)

Share

FR-reader Kim contacted me, letting me know about a workflow he established, in order to run his Fujifilm as a webcam during video conferences with Zoom, without any need of a capture card (like the very popilar Camlink 4K).

I made a video recently about how to use your Fujifilm camera as a webcam without a capture card (like the Camlink 4K). I thought some would fine it useful given the 4-5 week delay on getting a capture card lately.  Also is a method to get external webcam (the camera in this case) working on Zoom as I know that is also a bit of an issue for some.

It’s done over the UBS connection to a Mac (no PC as I no little of those things anymore) and works great. Totally free set up, once you have a Mac Fuji camera and a USB cable. I did a two hour Aikido class on Zoom last night and battery only dropped to 71%.

Though you might share this if you feel people out there might benefit for it.

Thanks Kim for sharing this with the Fujifilm community.
