Cosina just announced the Voigtländer MACRO APO-ULTRON 35mm f/2 for Fujifilm X.
Just like the Voigtländer NOKTON 23mm F1.2 X and the Voigtländer NOKTON 35mm F1.2 X it is a manual focus lens, but with electronic contacts so it can communicate with the camera.
The Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 has just been announced.
We have it covered in previous articles:
But here is one important thing that should not pass unnoticed: the official list of supported Fujifilm cameras.
So I think it is worth to highlight them in its own article. Accroding to Tamron, the new Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 will work fine with the following Fujifilm cameras (see below):
The Fujifilm X-T line was never supposed to be a flagship camera.
Let me explain why.
When Fujifilm launched the Fujifilm X-H1, they called it their flagship camera, giving it top of the line features that no other camera had at that time (like IBIS) and in part still no other camera, except for X-Pro3, has (like the ultra-tough body). The Fujifilm X-T2 was positioned under the X-H1.
However, since it took Fujifilm so long to release the Fujifilm X-H1 successor, the Fujifilm X-T line had to take over the “flagship-role” for a couple of years.
But now, with the the release of the Fujifilm X-H2S and the pre-announced Fujifilm X-H2, everything is going back to normal so to say.
X-H is the flagship, and X-T is the mid-range.
And that’s not me saying it, but Fuji Guy Billy, who went through the “what is what” in the Fujifilm camera lineup with Bigheaedtaco, who then shared Billy’s list with us in the video below (starts 9:59).
For your convenience, here is the list.

By getting rid of a few lines and separating more clearly the remaining ones, Fujifilm has addressed one of the major concerns that was confusing Fujifilm X shooters: too many camera lines positioned too close to each other without sufficient differentiation.
In short we could say that every line will have a higher end and a lower end version
P.S.: It was just so much more fun when Fujifilm used other terms to identify their camera lines, like when they said the X-T** line for hipsters :).
There are some images of the Fujifilm X-H2 floating around on social media which are erroneously reported as the possibly first leaked images of the Fujifilm X-H2.
Well, here on FujiRumors we kept a cool head and did what we can do best: verify and check.
So it turns out that these are not leaked X-H2 images but renderings made by Fujifilm X shooter Steven.
And while not the real deal, Steven’s renderings could be a nice way to start a discussion on how we’d like the Fujifilm X-H2 to be in terms of handling and ergonomics.
Which design choices made by Steven do you particularly like? And what other suggestions do you have? Feel free to contribute down below in the comments.
Steven shared his renderings on his instagram here and writes:
How do you think Fujifilm X-H2 would look like?
I imagine it would be a crossover between X-T4 and GFX 100s. As a video-centric camera, being in a less retro form factor makes sense. Adding more dials and buttons will be awesome too.
Also, it’s my first foray into 3D hard surface modeling, so it’s been quite a rough but fun ride.
Since X-H2 is going to be more video-centric, I figured the record button should be prominent, coupled with more function buttons around it. Or is it too many?
That rounded concave thing? It’s meant to be a joystick, so you can move the focus area without touching the LCD nor using the back joystick. That way your right hand doesn’t have to change position while holding the camera.
It would be awesome to have a screen with similar articulation as X-T100. That way the distance between the sub-monitor and the LCD screen is not far. I’m not smart enough to figure out how it works practically, but a man can dream hehe.
As far as solid Fujifilm X-H2 rumor goes, you can find the updated list down below.
