Fujifilm Spain has published very short videos about the Fujinon XF8-16mm F2.8 and the Fujinon GF30mm F3.5, that include some tidbits about its development, that I have extracted for you.
Both videos can be found below, along with a written summary.
News is news, so I share it. But I wrote a very informative piece about these awards in the past. So, if you want to read how the business around (some of these) awards goes, check out this article.

The Fujifilm X-H1 is now marked as discontinued at BHphoto in basically all its configurations.
Just a few days ago, the same happened to the Fujifilm X-T2 here.
The era of Fujifilm’s 24 megapixel cameras is over.
But I feel I need to say a few words about the Fujifilm X-H1, a camera that didn’t get the success it deserved, mainly for a very unlucky timing by Fujifilm: releasing the more powerful Fujifilm X-T3 just half a year later.
I have no idea how Fujifilm Japan thought this could work out well. Maybe they thought that IBIS alone is enough to keep the X-H1 attractive also once the X-T3 hits the market. But apparently they were wrong.
And yet, at its very last moments, the Fujifilm X-H1 lived moments of glory, by selling like hot cakes thanks to massive rebates.
Ok, I hear you say… Fujifilm X-H2 is coming.
Well, the Fujifilm X-H2 is on Fuji’s “to do” list, and it will come, but Fuji won’t release it in 2020.
The Fujifilm X-H1 is running out of stock, but you can still find it available in some stores, for example at Adorama here.
So, if you want to grab one, you better do it now.

Rumors and Discussions

Time for a Fujifilm X camera roundup. And time for some love for the Fujifilm X-H1, too.
Why love?
Well, check out the first video below, made by Nikon shooter TheSnapChick and the second one by Fred Ranger, who bought back the X-H1.
X-H1 DEALS – end Nov. 17
Reggie Ballesteros picked the Fujifilm X-T3 for his wedding photography business, and not the Fujifilm X-H1. Why?
You can see it in the video above. Down below a summary for those, who are in a hurry and can’t watch it right now.
Why X-T3 is better for weddings:
Raggie then asked other X shooters, why they think the X-H1 is better for wedding photography, and they said:

Despite the second youth the Fujifilm X-H1 is experiencing due to the massive deals, the Fujifilm X-T3 is and remains the king in the Fujifilm line-up.
As such, we keep up dedicating it roundups here on FujiRumors. So check out the latest one down below.
As a free and independent space, here on FujiRumors we report just everything, the good and the not so good, not matter if Fujifilm likes it or not, as my only boss are FR-readers, and I owe you the best service I can deliver.
Hence, today, in this Fujinon XF 16-80mm f/4 roundup I chose to highlight some aspects of the lens, that are not really that good.
And yet, despite not being a perfect lens, those who review the Fujinon XF 16-80mm f/4 still end up recommending it, as a great all rounder lens.
At the end, it’s all about finding the right balance, keeping in mind what’s the target group of a certain lens. And I guess in order ot keep size, weight and price down, Fujifilm had to rely more on digital correction in the case of this lens.
Nokishita spotted that Fujifilm has registered a third camera, the FF190003 here.
So we now have a total of 3 registered cameras:
Usually it needs a few months, for cameras to be announced after they have been registered.

Just recently we reported, that Fujifilm registered a camera with the code name FF190002.
We know that the Fujifilm X-Pro3 is coming. But now nokishita spotted a further registration. It’s the FF190001 (see below).
Usually the time span between registration and announcement is about 1 to 4 months, so we can assume that one more Fujifilm camera is coming in 2019, in addition to the Fujifilm X-Pro3.
I know, given the massive rebate on the Fujifilm X-H1 (which can be purchased for as little as $299 if bundled with the XF8-16), there will be the whole internet world saying this is the Fujifilm X-H1S or Fujifilm X-H2.
Guys, listen to me: it’s not an X-H1 successor! 100% sure. Trust me! It is something else ;). And whoever tells you it’s the X-H2, is just clickbaiting you.
It is also not the Fujifilm X100V, since that one will come out sometimes in 2020 only, so that’s definitely too early to be registered already.
So, if you buy the X-H1 today, don’t worry about the FF190001 or FF190002 being its successor.

It’s the same old story:
New camera comes, FujiRumors covers its launch, people not interested in that particular camera complain that FR covers that camera.
That’s why, back at the GFX50 launch, I wrote the article, “Dear FR-readers, we have to talk“.
The article was extremely effective, since, using hardcore numbers, it showed how readers perception can be so different from the truth.
But writing that article cost me a lot of time. And I just returned from an 8 hour drive from my holiday in Croatia, and I am exhausted, also because I was on holiday with the SonyAlphaRumors guy, which lead to some epic fanboy fights discussions and photowalks.
So I’ll just say this:
But who cares. I mean who cares about how much time and effort I put into this. It’s not your business.
Blogging on FR is my passion since 8 years now, and I do it with the joy to share the Fuji passion with all of you.
I ask you just one thing: please, just do not complain, when, in coincidence with the launch of a massive camera like the Fujifilm GFX100, I share a bit more GFX news than usual.
You don’t like it? Just skip the news.
With all that said, of course I do not forget about Fuji’s APS-C system.
And so I thought to dedicated this roundup to the most important part of our beloved APS-C system: the XF lenses.
If you want, down below are about 30 links and videos covering all kind of XF lenses.
