BREAKING: New Fujifilm Lens Roadmap to be Announced in July

Fujifilm Lens Roadmap Updates

Just a few days ago, we told you that the XF8-16 and XF200 will be announced in July.

Well, according to our trusted sources that’s not all Fujifilm will give us in July.

In fact, I have it now confirmed, that Fujifilm is going to release an updated lens roadmap, too.

*** REMINDER: 100% confirmed XF10 announcement on July 19 ***

Now, do you remember when back in February 2017 I asked you which lenses you would like next from Fujifilm?

Well, here is what happened after I asked you suggestions:

  • over 900 of you guys dropped a couple of thousands of suggestions in the comments – see here
  • I segregated myself in my room for a couple of days, read all your suggestions for countless hours and finally summed them all up into 30 lenses – see here
  • 15,000 (!!!!) of you voted in just a few days, and the results can been seen here

So we ended up with out top 6 lenses overall, as well as the top 3 primes and top 3 zooms.

It was a terrific work not only for me, but also for you guys, since you invested lots of time to discuss, recommend, argue, in order to help me to make the best list possible.

And now all we can do is hope… hope that Fujifilm listens.

So which are actually the most wanted lenses by the Fujifilm community? The answer is… here!

Huge things are happening soon… very soon… make sure follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter to stay up to date.

Fujifilm Manager: “Medium Format Fujifilm GFX Much Better than Full Frame. We Work hard to Release XF 8-16 This Year”

Fujifilm Manager Interview

The Thai youtube channel กล้องกล้วยกล้วย had a talk with Fujifilm manager Mr.Udono. It’s a 40 minutes talk in Thai and English, so you have to listen to the Thai question, than the English translation of the question, then the English answer of the manager, and then again the Thai translation of the Manager’s answer.

Too cumbersome?

Well, then you are lucky to read FujiRumors… because since we love you guys, we decided you should not suffer and waste your precious time. So I listened it all for you and here are the managers’ answers in English.

You are welcome :).

Behind the X Gear: Meet Barry Wetcher, the X-shooter, Who Brings Fujifilm to Hollywood

Behind the scenes image from “The Girl On The Train” which was the first film I ever used Fuji mirrorless cameras on. This was taken with the Fuji X-T1.

Behind the X Gear

Fujifilm and Hollywood have a special feeling.

Not only because the gorgeous looking Fujifilm cameras seem to be very telegenic and hence are often used in movies, as we documented several times here on FR (and more will come), but also because Fujifilm X gear is actually used by professional photographers to capture the behind the scenes of big blockbusters, such as the X-Pro2 and XF 18-135 used to snap the official images of the highly awarded Dunkirk movie, as we reported here.

In today’s “Behind the X Gear” episode, we would like to meet one of those photographers, who work with Fujifilm gear on the biggest Hollywood sets: Barry Wetcher.

Before we start with the interview, here is a short bio of Barry Wetcher:

X-Mount Lens Roundup

Fujfilm Announcement Coming Within 2 Weeks. Fujifilm X-T100, Instax SQ6… and Surprises?

Fujifilm Announcement Coming

On May 26, the Australian store CameraPro will offer a full day event packed with workshops, presentations and hands-on activities and more. If you want to join, check out their eventbrite page here.

In the event description they also write:

Bonus Sessions: A unique photo opportunity and an exclusive first touch and try of a yet to be announced Fuji release will be added in the coming weeks.

Thanks to Tony White from ozlightphoto.com.au for sharing this tidbit with us :) .

So within May 26, we will get a new Fuji gear… but what?

Here on FujiRumors we have rumored the core specs of the Fujifilm X-T3, we talked a lot about the Fujifilm GFX 50R, we even looked far ahead to the Fujifilm GFX 100S, but the most rumored camera at the moment (and hence probably the closest to come) is the Fujifilm X-T100… so let’s talk about it :).

Fujifilm X-T100

We shared the first rumors about the Fujifilm X-T100 back in September 2017. Over the following weeks and months, FujiRumors has shared braking specs of Fujifilm X-T100.

Here are the main specs again for you guys:

  • design similar to X-T20
  • 24 Megapixel Bayer sensor
  • Selfie Screen
  • very affordable

The goal of the Fujifilm X-T100 is to close the gap between the EVF-less Fujifilm X-A5 and Fuji’s mid-range X-Trans cameras like the Fujifilm X-T20 and Fujifilm X-E3.

The direct competitors of the Fujifilm X-T100 are cameras like the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II and the Sony A6000.

Instax SQ6

Soon Fujifilm will also launch the Instax SQ6, which has already completely leaked here.

Here on FujiRumors we shared the first real life images already back in March 17, 2017 here, so well over a year ago.

The Instax SQ6 is basically the film-only version of the hybrid Instax Square SQ10 and it will take the Instax Square Film.

Surprises?

Of course there could be surprises. Maybe some lenses, such as the XF8-16mmF2.8? Or the XF200mmF2? For sure the X70 successor will NOT come in May.

I will work on it now and let you guys now if I can find out something. So make sure to follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

Till then… you can dream freely in the comments :).

It is time for a dedicated lens roundup… and it’s a rather massive one, that includes third party lenses, and also Fujinon glass.

I am trying to catch up with all the links you guys send me and you ask me to be featured on FujiRumors. I will feature you all, but given the huge demand, it might take some time before I can share you all. Thanks for your patience :)

I have written a lot about my different lenses over the years, and I even mentioned the 16-55 lens on my last blog relating to my seven year journey with Fujifilm. I am currently halfway through writing my most recent blog regarding the new style of street photography that I have implemented using the flip out screens on my X-T2’s. However, I have been so excited recently about my 16-55 lens that I have momentarily dropped all other projects, so I can write a long-term review on this wonderful lens.

First Wedding with Fujifilm X-H1, Great Battery Life, Leica SL Vs. X-H1, Tips and Tricks, IBIS with Adapted Lenses & More

Greetz to all Fuji Lovers from Rome – X-E3 with 18-55 and Sirui T-025X

Fantastic Feedback… How is it Possible?

We have reported several X-H1 bugs (which will be fixed soon via Firmware update) and some more negative X-H1 feedback. And yet, there are some, who simply have a fantastic camera. A good battery life, an incredible autofocus and more.

Looking at our great Fujifilm X-H1 facebook group, in many cases, the fix is as simple as that: get the settings right!

Reading the manual helps a lot (so you can stop panic’ing when your EVF/LCD suddenly stutters… you will discover it’s a power saving mode you can turn off ;) ).

But the manual does not tell the whole story.

There are a lot of tips and tricks to make the camera work best for your needs, that I highly recommend to read books like the ones of Rico Pfirstinger, who shares plenty of useful tips and tricks about the X100F, X-T20, X-T2, X-Pro2 as well as older cameras like the X-E2, X-T1, X-T10, X-E1 and X-Pro1.

Since the Fujifilm X-H1 shares many similar features, and carries all the X-DNA inside, it might be useful for you to maybe grab the X-T2 book, which will in large part also applicable to the Fujifilm X-H1.

With that said… let’s share today’s Fujifilm X-H1 roundup :)

Great Battery Life?

Some Fujifilm X-H1 users over at our Fujifilm X-H facebook group report surprisingly good battery life for the X-H1. For example, Miklos wirtes:

Many people complain about the battery performance of the x-h1. I use it mostly for sports. Here is my experience. With battery grip after shooting one soccer game in close to zero degrees centigrade the first battery in the grip at 64%. The other two still at 100%. 1300 shots taken. The camera and the grip are both in high performance or boost mode. Also, I do not review photos while I shoot sports. Do we need better battery performance than this??? In case someone is interested also to see the photos at miklosphoto

X-H1 for Weddings

Fujifilm X-H facebook member James use his Fujifilm X-H1 for his first wedding. I will share his impressions here, but in order to comment and interact with him, you better check out his facebook post in the group.

Shot my first 2018 wedding. Initial Thoughts on X-H1:

  • No bugs or issues. At all. Thankfully!
  • Highly Responsive.
  • Focus was very accurate in low light. Low light simply isn’t an issue.
  • ISO performance is amazing (I use 1.4 and 1.2 lenses so that helps a lot).
  • QUIET. I don’t think the bridal party knew I was taking any pictures lol
  • With the Godox trigger system and flashes, it tends to have a millisecond or so delay when clicking the shutter. Wasn’t too thrilled about that but it’s not a dealbreaker.
  • Shot close to 1000 raw photos until the battery was at 23% and I switched it then. Definitely can blow through a 32GB card at compressed raw file settings with one battery.
  • Noticed in broad daylight that the back LCD screen really needs to be brighter.

That’s all for now! I’m absolutely wiped! Lol
