Fujifilm X-T2 Will Start Shipping in Late August (and not Early/Mid September)

Fuji X-T2 Shipping Starts Late August

I know, Fujifilm said it in the official Press Release and all the stores also say the same: the Fujifilm X-T2 shipping will start on the 8th of September (that’s the “shipping embargo” date).

However, a trusted source would like me to share with all of you, that Fujifilm decided to start shipping the Fujifilm X-T2 already in late August.

Of course, I never doubt what my trusted sources tell me. In fact, it already happened in the past, that they shared information with us, that contraddicted everything that Fujifilm has said, announced and even shown to the world… and yet our sources where right ;) .

Now, since this trusted source contacts me anonymously via rumor box (using a nick name) I’d like to ask it, if this is valid for all the world, or just for some countries.

KEEP IN MIND: shipping might start late August, but it will take longer until the X-T2 is marked by stores as “in stock“.

Why is the X-T2 shipping earlier?

But why is the X-T2 shipping earlier than originally announced by Fujifilm?

I don’t know it, but maybe the Firmware is now finalized. Hence, Fujifilm can now upload it on all the X-T2’s, put that beauty in a fancy box and send it straight to X-shooters all over the globe!

Or maybe the Fujifilm X-T2 pre-orders were lower than Fujifilm expected, so that the company can start shipping the X-T2 earlier than expected.

But that’s just all speculation. What matters is that, those, who pre-ordered very early, might get their X-T2 already within the end of August…. if no last minute bug is found ;)

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.

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).

stay tuned…

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.

Fujifilm 16-55mm F2.8 OIS patent of Optical technology and lens design] Fujifilm corresponds to the anti-vibration 16-55mm F2.8 of patent is being filed.
