I tell you… if you thought you had an exciting time in the first half of 2016 (X-Pro2 and X-T2) and this year can’t get better anymore, then just wait and see what will happen next :-)

The second half of 2016 promises to be at least as exciting as the first half. Why? Just check out the rumors below, all ordered according to their reliability.

And yes, that’s how it goes in the rumor world: no time to rest after the X-T2 announcement. Because Fuji keeps up working on new awesome stuff and I’ll give my best to keep you informed, so that you can make better buying decision, give Fujifilm some Feedback on future products they are planing and overall share the excitement of being part of the Fuji X world.

At this point, my deepest gratitude goes to ALL sources. You are reaching a level of accuracy I could have never dreamed of! You Really Rock… Awesome!!!

The July 7 Fujifilm Lens Roadmap according to FujiRumors

_No Risk, No Fun

As you know, here on FujiRumors I’m not afraid of sharing long-term rumors, even though they are a “risk” for me to share. Fuji just changes plans so often, that what was a correct rumor at the time of sharing, can sometimes be wrong later on.

I could make a dozen of examples, but let’s just pick out one: Fuji X-Pro1s! It was spot on at the time of sharing in 2013, it’s just Fuji changed plans later on (I told you about it in 2014). The rumor has been confirmed by Fujifilm itself in 2016, by showing to the world an X-Pro1s protoype here.

So you see, long term rumors are always a risk for me. And I know it’s the main reason I’ll never be 100% right.

The Roadmap Is Coming… with 3 of the 7 rumored lenses

I’ve worked on it on the last few days, since I wanted to be as sure as possible, and now I just got the final confirmation: the new roadmap (to be released July 7 along with the X-T2), will include only a few of the rumored lenses.

But Note: all the rumors about all the lenses I’ve shared were right at the time of sharing, with just one doubt: the 8mm rumor (more about it later).

Here are the 7 rumored lenses:

From the list above, only the following 3 will be included in the upcoming lens roadmap

  • 23mmF2
  • 50mmF2
  • 80mm Macro

Reminder: the 120 Macro (still in the official roadmap) has been cancelled (as rumored first here then here)!

Lenses (still) not included in the upcoming July 7 roadmap

  • 200mm(F2)
  • 8-16mmF2.8
  • 33mmF1.0
  • 8mmF2

Keep in mind: these lenses are on Fuji’s plans (except the 8mm probably, more about it later).

However, all these lenses are so far away from release, that Fuji prefers not to share them in the roadmap for now. They want to avoid another mistake, like the one of the 120mm Macro (still officially in roadmap), that, according to my sources, will be canceled and become the 80mm Macro lens.

Regarding the 33mmF1.0, this lens was 100% part of the talks and developments of Fujifilm. But, as I told you here, the unexpected success of the small and cheap 35mmF2 (Fuji is making massive money with that one) has caused a sudden lens strategy change at Fujifilm: cheap, small and weather resistant instead of big, heavy and expensive.

And what about the 8mm? Well, the source, who shared it, has proven to be reliable (it’s the source, who told us a FW will make the X-T1 video button a FN button). But I think that maybe it mistake the 8mm with the 8-16 or Fujifilm, as so often, changed plans on such a lens.

I know, when on July 7 the lens roadmap shows only 3 of the 7 rumored lenses, there will be a massive shitstorm on me. So I’ll prepare my jacket and helmet… ;)

But if you are not a FR hater or troll, I think you just got the point of this post and how rumors work: a lens that is not on the roadmap, is not necessarily a lens that isn’t on Fuji’s plans. And a lens that is in the roadmap, isn’t necessarily a lens Fuji will really make at the end (you’ll miss the 120mm in the next roadmap).

Fujifilm Patents XF16-55mmF2.8… with OIS !

OIS

XF16-55mmF2.8 OIS len

egami spotted the following patent: an XF16-55mmF2.8 OIS lens… yep, with OIS!

Fujifilm received quite a shitstorm because of the lack of OIS in the XF16-55mmF2.8. The official explanation why Fujifilm didn’t implement OIS in the 16-55 can be found here:

OIS needs to move the lens inside to compensate for camera shake and as a result can cause loss of resolution in the edges of the image. In long zoom lens such as the XF50-140mmF2.8, the angle of view is narrow enough to not show this negative effect of OIS in the edges. However, the angle of view of the XF16-55mm, when set to the widest setting, is large enough for OIS to affect resolution at the edge of the image. Considering this trade-off, because we wanted this zoom lens to start wide at 16mm and F2.8, and we wanted to best edge-to-edge quality throughout the entire zoom range, we decided to not employ OIS.”

PATENT : google translated

Fujifilm patent applications corresponds to the anti-vibration 16-55mm F2.8 but is an optical system, the was released is not an anti-vibration 16-55mm F2.8 It was. Since the anti-vibration corresponding to the lens is bloated, is that of to have to dare not designed with anti-vibration. Or if there the Kai, XF FUJINON 16-55Mm F2.8 It is R LM WR good lens of reputation.

But better to hesitation that it is not in the anti-vibration would be many. Because when you pursue the optical performance lens resulting in a bloated, Sony and Olympus , as, in the telephoto lens Dual IS, I standard system is perhaps good to within the body anti-shake.

MIRRORLESS MEDIUM FORMAT :: Hasselblad will make the Start… but FUJIFILM’s Counterattack is (Almost) Ready !

Fujifilm Medium Format Mirrorless Camera

SUPER X SAVINGS :: Pay only $499 for the XF14mm :: XF16mmF1.4 now $300 off … and MUCH more!

Fujifilm Medium Format Mirrorless Camera

A rumor is spreading on the web, brought to us first by mirrorlessrumors: Hasselblad is about to launch a Medium Format Mirrorless Camera! The rumors so far say it will have 50MP (just like the rumored Fujifilm Medium Format Mirrorless Camera).

It’s over a year now that I tell you about Fujifilm working on a Medium Format Camera, a familiar terrain for Fujfilm, since they already have a long Medium Format Camera and Lens production tradition (for film – like the the FUJIFILM GF670.) and they also make lenses for the [shoplink 46551 ebay]Hasselblad’s H system[/shoplink].

I tell you… Fujifilm will make use of all its experience to launch a new digital Medium Format Mirrorless line. But if you don’t trust me, then I remind you the words of Fuji Manager T. Ueno, when he said herewe are in a Very Good Position to make a Medium Format Camera

If it’s true that the mirrorless Boom is slowing down (as Tony Northrup said here), then it seems that camera manufacturers are right now looking for the next fronteer: Medium Format Mirrorless. Hasselblad makes the start. It’s sure that Fujifilm will follow soon. And it’s rumored by SAR that also Sony is seriously thinking to step into this new market.

Below a list of Fujifilm Medium Format Rumors shared over the last 13 months.

New Fujifilm Lens Roadmap Coming

So, when will Fujifilm release a new lens roadmap? According to Fujifilm Manager Justin Stailey (and also to my sources) it will come this Summer (see video at the Top of this post from minute 37:40).

Here is just a Roadmap of what we have in the line up. […] we pretty much have the majority of the needs of most photographers covered with our current lens lineup. But we are not going to stop. We plan to expand the offer. There is definitely more stuff coming. At some point in Summertime we will probably update the roadmap.

The current Fujifilm lens roadmap is out of date. It shows lenses that, according to my sources, have been scratched and it also does not include other lenses that Fuji is designing right now.

At this point it’s interesting to note, that on the Roadmap the Manager presented to the people attending the BHphoto event, there is no 120mm…. a hint that we don’t have to expect that lens to come anymore? Maybe there is some truth in the 80mm rumor ;)

In the last months, I’ve updated the original Fujifilm Lens Roadmap every time a new rumor landet in my Inbox (last update here). But it started looking so chaotic, that a kind FR-reader made a new one for us (shared at the bottom of this post).

Except for the XF23mmF2 (which should be announced in September) I have NO indications and rumors about the release of the other rumored lenses.

Fujifilm X-T2 Turbo Boost :: EVF with Amazing 100 fps (!!!) Refresh Rate !

Tilt Two

RUMOR

Just 2 weeks ago, Fuji Guy Billy said here:

The human eye recognizes the difference in motion about 120 fps. We are actually at 85fps [X-Pro2], so very very close. […] And the processing power is actually already there in this camera to eventually even reach 120fps!

Read more at “X-Pro2 is Over-Engineered. A Lot of Potential Not Harnessed yet! Firmware Improvements Coming

Well, it seems that the Fujifilm X-T2 is the first step to get closer to that 120fps. In fact, according to a trusted source, the Fujifilm X-T2 will have the ability to boost the EVF refresh rate to 100fps!

Are you ready for the final rumor sprint? Then stay tuned on FujiRumors via Facebook and Twitter.
