  • Fujinon XF 8mm f/2.8

Probably just variation of patents shared in the last 10+ years, such as:

The patents have been spotted by the Japanese website asobinet.

And remember, Fujifilm has also patented this foldable smartphone, so that one has to come soon, too :).

More seriously: Fujifilm recently said they have 10 lenses currently under study. Look up at those to see a more realistic list of lenses that might come at some point.

Fujifilm X Summit on May 16: What is Coming and What Not, What is Rumored and What We Hope For

 

So Fujifilm has announced the Fujifilm X summit for May 16.

We reported about it earlier today and in that article I also said that our sources told us the Fujifilm GFX100SII will be announced on that day.

Now the question came up if that’s the only gear Fujifilm will announce. So let me try to give you an answer.

First things first: so far I have only been told about the Fujifilm GFX100SII coming mid May.

However, we also know Fujifilm has other gear in the pipeline for the first half of 2024:

The questions are:

  • will Fujifilm announce it all together?
  • does Fujifilm prefer to give the GFX100SII a dedicated launch day, and make a separate announcement for the X-T50 and the new kit lens?
  • did I share a wrong rumor?

Well… don’t worry. We don’t share wrong rumors here. Everything will happen as we tell you it will.

But I will contact our sources and see what they have to say about it. And as soon as I can I will share an update here on FujiRumors.

And beyond that?

Well, the only gear Fujifilm has pre-announced, is the Fujinon GF500mmF5.6, but that one is listed on the official G mount roadmap as coming sometimes in 2024. So it could be on May 16, but also later on.

What’s not coming is definitely the Fujifilm X-Pro4 and also no Fujifilm GFX100R.

Hopes?

Well, I am growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of a new X mount roadmap. I keep asking for a new one since years and Fujifilm keeps ignoring our wishes. So at this point I have no expectations anymore.

Anyway… answers will come. Some of them on May 16, but many other answers will come well before that.

Stay tuned on FujiRumors ;).

NiSi Athena 18mmT2.2, 40mmT1.9 and 135mmT2.2 for Fujifilm G Mount Announced

NiSi just announced new NiSi Athena Prime lenses:

These lenses will cost about 1.3K each with the trio-combo costing $3,499 and the 5-Lens Kit combo costing $5,798.

The new Athena lenses add up to already available G mount NiSi Athena lenses:

These are Full Frame Cine lenses but there is also a Fujifilm G mount version of them, but that one has no drop-in filter option and can’t fully cover the large format GFX sensor, as reported by CineD. So I guess you best use these lenses in the 35mm crop mode on GFX.

Top 3 News in February that Passed Almost Unnoticed (but Shouldn’t)

I recently published the usual top 10 articles of the month article (for February), and I believe three news are missing in there, that should have gained much more attention than what they did.

And I get it: we had Fujifilm X-Pro4 rumors, X100VI announcement, Fujifilm X-T40 rumors and more. So these “smaller” news tends to get lost in the buzz of the big rumors and announcements.

But I really think you guys should not miss out on them, hence we are going to share them in this dedicated article

Huge possible news for GFX

As a GFX shooter myself, this is one bit of news that I have waited for many years: the possibility expressed by Sigma CEO to offer autofocus lenses for the GFX system.

This would be HUUUGE!

Tamron Finally Gets It

Finally Tamron seems to understand: they need to put an aperture ring on their lenses!

Future X mount Lenses

Fujifilm has officially listed 10 lenses that they are currently considering to eventually make in future. No all can come, but maybe some. And they did ask 200 journalists to vote their favorite lenses.

Well, FujiRumors thought that 200 votes might not be enough. So we launched a survey and asked you guys which lenses you’d like to get.

We are currently at 6K+ votes, but ideally we should break the 10K+ mark.

The more vote, the more Fujifilm will take our results seriously.

Fujinon XF 16-55mmF2.8 Emergency Firmware Available

Fujifilm has released the emergency firmware for the Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR that was promised to us a few days ago.

Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 ver.1.31 – download here
The firmware update Ver.1.31 from Ver.1.30 incorporates the following issue:

We have found some malfunctions (Phenomenon in which the exposure of a captured image becomes abnormal in combination with a certain focal length and aperture value) in the firmware Ver. 1.30 released on 22 Jan 2024.
Customers who have updated to Ver.1.30 should update to Ver.1.31.
If you update to Ver.1.31, the functions will be the same as Ver.1.20 and the following functions (*) added in Ver.1.30 will no longer be available.
* Improved exposure tracking during zoom operation.

Now THAT was fast. Considering that I would love to update my Fujinon GF50mmF3.5 firmware, but that one is suspended since forever (same thing also for the GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 WR). Dear Fujifilm, in case you don’t know, we also use your GFX gear. So we’d love a fix for that too.

SUSPENDED: Fujifilm Removes Latest XF16-55mmF2.8 Firmware and Promises Emergency Update

A couple of days ago Fujifilm has released several (also major) firmware updates. And they also promised Kaizen firmware updates coming.

The news today is that the firmware update for the Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR was flawed and has now been suspended from the Fujifilm download page.

Fujifilm is preparing an emergency firmware and FujiRumors will let you know as soon as it goes online.

In Ver. 1.30 released on January 22, 2024, it was confirmed that the exposure of images taken with certain focal length and aperture value combinations became abnormal.
For this reason, the firmware download has been suspended.
We are preparing an emergency firmware for customers who have updated to Ver. 1.30, so please wait for it.

You can access the note about the removed firmware update here.

Hopefully it won’t end up forgotten and suspended forever like the GF50mmF3.5 firmware.
