Coronavirus: Fujifilm Resumed Operation at Chinese Digital Camera Plant, but…
Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, Fujifilm closed their factory in Suzhou, China. Now they re-opened.
Fujifilm resumed operation on February 10 at a digital camera assembly plant in Suzhou, China, which had been closed since the Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year). Toshihisa Iida, General Manager of Optics and Electronic Imaging Division)
However, we have been told (thanks) that only a very limited number of people actually went back at work, as workers are either under quarantine or travel bans (many Chinese left for the Chinese New Year at the end of January and now can’t go back to Suzhou).
RUMOR: Fujifilm X-E line Canceled, Game Over for Fujifilm X-E4
I have received word from our sources (thanks), that Fujifilm will drop the Fujifilm X-E line.
As you know, I am huge Fujifilm X-E line fan. I love its compactness, I love its performance, I love its form factor and its simplicity.
So this rumor hits me very strong.
However, the X-E line was always on the fence to be canceled, as sales were always low.
In fact, already after the Fujifilm X-E2s failure, Fujifilm considered dropping the line altogether. Which is why back in 2016 I wrote straight out of my heart a “love letter to the unborn X-E3“, followed by almost 200 comments of you guys, supporting me.
My hope was that the love letter (and you feedback) would help Fujifilm to continue to believe in this line, and it seems it worked, as Fujifilm managers said half a year later, they are “aware of the many X-E3 requests.”
So we got it, the Fujifilm X-E3 came, and of course I bought it, along with the XF27mm f/2.8, the perfect lens for this camera.
But here we are again. And this time it looks really like the dead-end street for the Fujifilm X-E line.
Maybe many of you will agree with Fuji’s decision. Maybe you will think Fujifilm has to simplify and streamline its line-up. And maybe it “rationally” makes sense to drop the X-E line.
But as a huge X-E line lover myself, I can’t look at this rumor rationally, and I am just disappointed about it.
Let us know in the survey below, if you think it makes sense to drop the X-E line. Who knows if we can change Fuji’s mind again.
NOTE: the Fujifilm X-E3 is already discontinued, but as of now you can still find it in stock.

And the X-H line?
Is the X-H line also dead?
Well, as FujiRumors always told you, at no point in time, Fujifilm was considering to drop the X-H line. Those rumors were always fake, as the Fujifilm X-H2 was always on the roadmap, and now Fujifilm confirmed it themselves for the second time.

Pergear 25mm F1.8 for Fujifilm X Mount
I have been contacted by Oliver from Pergear and main distributor of Zeapon, Viltrox, Godox, ZhiYun, FeiYu, Hohem, etc.
He informed me they launched the Pergear 25mm f/1.8 lens for Fujifilm X Mount.
The lens is now available at Amazon here.
- 5 Elements in 3 Groups
- Aperture Range: F/1.8 – F16
- Ideal Aperture with 12 Diaphragm Blades
- Full metal body, Compact and Lightweight, only 195g
This lens looks very similar to the Meike 25mm F/1.8 and Brightin Star 25mm F1.8.
I asked Oliver is this is just a rebranded version, and I will update this post as soon as I get reply.
UPDATE (thanks Mistral): The 7Artisans 25mm f/1.8, Meika MK 25mm f/1.8 and Brightin Star 25mm f/1.8 include 7 elements in 5 groups. This Pergear 25mm f/1.8 includes 5 elements in 3 groups. It’s a different lens.
