Italian photographer Roberto owned Fujifilm X series gear, but at some point followed the siren songs of full frame Sony.
Now, after using Sony for a while, he switched back to Fujifilm.
In his (Italian) video he explains why.
But don’t worry, you are lucky that FujiRumors is a polyglot (I speak 4 languages), so I am going to translate it for you ;).
Viltrox has published firmware update 2.26 for their Viltrox EF-FX1 and Viltrox EF-FX2 adapters.
We remind you that Viltrox also offers the Viltrox EF-GFX adapter.
All details and download links below.
Here is the best selling gear on FujiRumors for November.
Top Accessories
Top Fujifilm Series Cameras
With the Fujifilm X-H1 now widely discontinued, and the X-Pro3 buzz slowly settling down, the Fujifilm X-T3 claims back its throne as the best selling camera.
Top Fujinon X Lenses
The launch of the exclusive X-T3 with 16-80mm bundle with the addition of a special rebate has boosted the 16-80 at the top of the ranking, closely followed by the discounted XF16-55mm f/2.8 and the also discounted XF90mm f/2.
Top Fujifilm GFX Gear
All Fujinon GF lenses (except for GF50mm f/3.5) are now heavily discounted. See the full list of discounted GF lenses here.
Top X Mount Third Party Lenses
The Neewer 35mm F1.2 becomes the most sold lens overall (even better than Fujinon lenses), thanks to a further price reduction that now makes it ridiculously cheap.
The evergreen Samyang 12mm f/2 makes it back in the list.
Top Software
Capture One Pro remains unbeatable, but Adobe Creative Cloud saw a nice revival here on FujiRumors, probably thanks to the black friday sale.
Phase One has released Capture One 20.
Back in September, Viltrox released specs and price for the new Viltrox 23mm f/1.4, 33mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.4.
They also said that the release of all three lenses was scheduled for December 2019.
However, I have been told (thanks) about a delay for the Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.4.
Only the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 could “maybe” still make it in time for December… take note of that “maybe”.
The latest specs and images about all three upcoming Viltrox lenses can be found in this article.
And don’t forget
Yesterday, while desperately searching for some school material and turning upside down my little rented apartment, I stumbled on my old Canon Powershot SD850 IS, a powerhouse sporting a staggering 8 megapixel 1/2.5 ” CCD sensor… and… hold on tight… an impressive (and useless) ISO sensibility of 1600!
And, oh boy, how much I missed it. And I don’t mean the camera itself, but the time, before my photographic fall took place.
This is (quickly) what happened.
Fujifilm changed again their current X/GFX savings. Here is what’s new:

Yeah, let’s do it. Let’s stir up the spirits, and for one more glorious time, jump fully into the sensor size debate.
The trigger?
And article by DL Cade form Petapixel, who had a talk with Richard Butler (DPR) and Bill Claff (Photons to Photos), about:
The first can be answered with the popularity of 35mm in the film era.
But in modern digital times, is full frame really the sweet spot? DL Cade, Richard and Bill answer the following in this article:
DL Cade goes for APS-C:
“I still believe there is a best sensor for “most people” and that this sensor is not full-frame. This sensor is APS-C. […] the performance to size to cost ratio falls into a sweet spot that neither Micro Four Thirds nor full-frame can match.
take the Fuji X-T3, which is a bit closer in price and weight to the a7 III, selling for only $500 less and weighing only 0.25lbs less. In the video department, the Fuji can already record 4K/60p 4:2:0 10-bit internally; Sony can’t even do that over HDMI. And it, too, shoots at a faster 11fps in 14-bit RAW, can capture up to 30fps electronically with an additional 1.25x crop, and benefits from a large selection of high-quality, compact lenses designed for APS-C.”
Richard Butler says:
Would it be madness?
Take Fujifilm’s most successful camera line, the X-T1, X-T2 and X-T3, which remained intact in form and function for 6 years now, and annoy all Fujifilm X-T line lovers, by changing it.
Why do I say this?
Well, because if Fujifilm was to cancel the X-H line (as rumored by our forum member Jason here), this is what would happen, in an attempt to merge both lines into one.
Fujifilm would need an X-T4 with bigger grip (as the leaked specs would suggest), for better handling and operation with long lenses. So the sleek design of the current X-T line would have to make space to a more bulky grip.
And then there are the dials. Fujifilm X-T shooters love dials, so forget about the top LCD screen, but keep the exposure compensation dial.
The result?
A hybid camera, that would make both unhappy, X-T and X-H lovers.
Seen from this perspective, Fujifilm needs both camera lines, as this gives them design freedom.
This is why Fujifilm managers officially said that the Fujifilm X-H line will continue to evolve. It just needs time, as FujiRumors reported here.
Or maybe Fujifilm would demonstrate wisdom by canceling one line, as they will never really be able to make them coexist?
Having two lines on the higher end just creates confusion.
Better bet on one horse, and send it out to battle against Sony, Canon and Nikon.

The Fujifilm X-T2 is now marked as discontinued at BHphoto here and also at Adorama.
You can still find it in other stores, for example the silver version is still available at Focuscamera, but the inevitable is happening: as the X-T2 is no longer in production, the stock is now clearing out.
So we have to say goodby, to one of Fujifilm’s most legendary and important digital cameras, the Fujifilm X-T2.
Some of you might remember, how the New York Times reported here that Fujifilm sold only 700,000 cameras in the first 2 years of its existence.
X100, X-Pro1, X-E1, X10 and other cameras could never really go mainstream.
However, things changed starting from January 2014, with the Fujifilm X-T1. It was a big hit, and the Fujifilm X-T2 even topped its sales, becoming Fuji’s most successful X series camera ever.
The X-T line is what keeps the X series alive, and currently the Fujifilm X-T3 is going even better than any of its predecessors.
So, ode to the glorious Fujifilm X-T2. May the success of this line continue for many more years to come.
