XF 50-140: “Admirably fast AF […] best lens for action and sports among the Fuji lenses” (Jonas) + “Fantastic IQ” (engaged)

USA: BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / EUROPE: WexUK / PCHstore / AmazonUK

In PART 1 of his review, jonasjacobsson tested the autofocus speed of XF 50-140 (on a X-T1). The subject? A dog running full speed in any direction. So how did it work? From the conclusions.

“The toughest test was for sure the first one, when he came towards me, resulting in 5 missed shots. Otherwise, for the most part, the lens performed admirably. Fast and accurate. And like I stated above, some of the missed once are a result of me not being used to shoot fast-moving dogs and it was really hard to predict the movement sometimes, so do keep that in mind. Without a doubt this is the best lens suited for action and sports among the Fuji lenses. In terms of autofocus speed the XF 50-140 is miles ahead of the slower XF 55-200, along with many other advantages like weather sealing and a fast constant aperture of f/2.8. It is however also almost 2.5-3 times as pricy as the older sibling. Once you lock on target the lens tend to keep that focus very well unless you do a some drastic movement that might interfere.”

In PART 2 of the 50-140 review, jonasjacobsson judges the IQ of the lens.

_ _ _

Also engaged tested the XF 50-140 and they say:

“Image quality is fantastic throughout regardless of focal length, with pleasingly sharp details and accurate focus. Without Fuji’s current speed king, the X-T1, I wasn’t able to test out the upper end of its autofocus abilities, but it performed quickly enough on my trusty X-E2. As for bokeh, out-of-focus background elements were generally smooth and not distracting, meaning this should be a solid portrait lens if that’s your thing.”

Spooky Fujifilm 🧟‍♂️ Cameras Brought Back to Life via Firmware Update — And Let’s Talk Kaizen

Spooky Halloween is here… 🎃

It’s the night when ghosts rise from their crypts — and it reminded me that Fujifilm, too, has (or had?) a rather unnatural power: the power to bring its cameras back from the dead with a little bit of firmware Kaizen magic.

Cameras that refused to die.

Or better yet: cameras that Fujifilm simply did not allow to die — resurrected again and again through firmware updates that breathed new life into them.

Scary times in which those who wrote excellent Fujifilm camera manuals were doomed to rewrite them over and over again — slowly driven to madness by Fujifilm’s relentless Kaizen spirit, as they struggled to keep up with all the new features added to cameras that refused to stay dead.

So let’s talk about those times.

And let’s talk about where we are now and what has changed (if anything).

🧟 So it Began – The First Resurrection

Leaked Fujinon XC 13-33mm F3.5-6.3 – Surprising Specs and the First XC Lens to Truly Tempt Me!

We can now share the main specs of the upcoming Fujinon XC 13-33mm F3.5-6.3 OIS.

And we are going to compare them to the XC 15-45mm F3.5-5.6.

There are a couple of nice surprises: the XC13-33mm is more compact, lighter, yet has a more sophisticated lens design (hence likely a better image quality). It comes with 9 rounded aperture blades instead of 7 (better bokeh?). It also has a more powerful optical image stabilization and a mechanical zoom instead of a powerzoom. I also like that the minimum focus distance is fixed at 20cm through the entire range.

That’s quite a nice set of improvements!

Below you can see the specs comparison.

I guess for many this could be an ideal ultra-portable kit zoom lens for many X-M5, X-E5 and X-T30III or X-T50 owners.

This is actually the first XC lens that has truly caught my interest and I can’t wait to finally see it unveiled on October 23 at 1AM New York time.

If the image quality is good, it could be an ultra compact alternative to my XF10-24mmF4.

I feel like Fujifilm has made lots of correct choices when it comes to developing the XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3.

Don’t forget: we will have a nice live blog only on FujiRumors.com ;).

But just out of curiosity, I will also share the estimated specs that Fujifilm itself mentioned in what some (erroneously) consider the hidden Fujifilm X mount lens roadmap:

  • Affordable Wide Zoom Lens – XC Lineup
    – Size 40-50mm
    – 60-70mm diameter
    – weight 130-170g

We can see that Fujifilm made the final lens even smaller and lighter than they initially estimated.

Fujifilm X-T30 III vs X-T30 II – Here are the Main Differences

According to our sources, the upcoming Fujifilm X-T30 III will have lots in common with the Fujifilm X-T30 II: same body, so much so that at a first glance one might not see any difference at all.

However, there is one exterior and one internal difference.

On the outside, instead of the drive dial, you’ll get the film simulation dial with the FS1 to FS3 position, in which you can also store your personal film simulation recipes.

On the inside, you’ll still find the trusted X-Trans IV 26MP sensor, but this time coupled with the new X Processor 5.

Of course this means a certain performance boost for the X-T30 III, such as 6K 4:2:2 10bit recording (X-T30II shoots 4K max), the better autofocus algorithm with all sorts of subject detection modes, more film simulations (all 20 currently available) and more.

I guess those are the main differences: not many, but relevant ones.

Fujifilm Manager Sets Bold Goal: Overtake Nikon and Climb to No.3 — X-E5 Is Leading the Charge

image courtesy: phototrend
image courtesy: phototrend

French Fujifilm managers gave an interview to the French website Phototrend. Here is the summary:

Market Share

  • 12% of the market share in value of APS-C sensor hybrids
  • Including compacts like the GFX 100RF and X100VI (the best seller), Fujifilm reaches about 13–14% of the French global photo market
  • Excellent dynamic, Fujifilm is progressing in each segment
  • Fujifilm wants to become Nr.3 on the market

Since Nikon is currently the No.3 brand, Fujifilm France aims to surpass them. And, as we’ll see below, the Fujifilm X-E5 appears to be leading that charge in 2025.

Fujifilm X-E5 Sales and About Taking Risks

  • X-E5 has clearly been biggest success of the last 12 months
  • Fujifilm is offering a wide range of cameras, from X half to X-H2S, catering to different needs and budgets for young smartphone photographers seeking an upgrade
  • GFX100RF sales far beyond expectation. A great start and now sales stabilized but is curve remains healthy
  • GFX100RF has found its place between Leica Q3 or the Sony RX1R III
  • X100VI still not that easy to find, although some retailers have stock
  • X half is a bet, a new concept. For generations used to vertical format
  • Instax Pal failed in Europe. But you have to innovate and try some risks. Sometimes it will work, sometimes not
  • The GFX Eterna 55 combines this optical expertise with a cinema ambition. Fujifilm targets short movies productions with cinema quality
  • The €1500–€2500 hybrid segment is saturated, so the challenge is to either move toward more accessible models like the X-M5 or elevate the offer with tools like Eterna
  • Instax still successful, with Instax Mini 12 being the best seller. Instax Mini EVO also still selling well
  • Instax Wide EVO is also selling well
  • Instax cameras that let users preview photos before printing haven’t reduced film sales—people now print only their best shots, and they often print it multiple times to share with others

Increasing Prices

  • price has increased and except for X-M5 there is no sub-1K camera anymore
  • second hand prices are under 1K, it’s a great, sustainable and ecological alternative

Third Party Lens Bundles

  • retailers can sell XF23mmF2.8 as a kit with other Fujifilm cameras
  • the only thing Fujifilm wants to make sure of, is that retailers do not bundle third party lenses with Fujifilm cameras

The 2025 Best Seller

RUMOR: Fujifilm X-T30 III Coming with Film Simulation Dial on X-T30 II Body

According to our information, the Fujifilm X-T30III will use basically the same body of the trusted Fujifilm X-T30II.

However, there will be one difference: the X-T30II drive dial will be replaced by the film simulation dial we find on the Fujifilm X-M5 and Fujifilm X-T50.

As an Fujifilm X-E5 owner, I can say Fujifilm’s implementation of the film simulation dial on that camera is wonderfully elegant. On the X-T30III, though, such a solution won’t be necessary due to its different SLR-style layout compared to the X-E5’s rangefinder design.
