Samyang Fujifilm X Mount Autofocus Lens Coming October 26

It was Fujifilm biggest error, and they finally fixed it in 2020.

And since it’s fixed now, third party manufactures are joining the X mount with their own autofocus lenses.

The next one to come will be Samyang, who officially teased their first autofocus Fujifilm X mount lens to come October 26 earliest.

TTArtisan has just announced the new TTArtisan 32mm f/2.8 AF lens for Fujifilm X Mount.

This lens is going to have some strong competitors.

In order to compete with these lenses, the TTArtisan 32mmF2.8 should combine a very aggressive price tag with decent image quality.

Tamron 18-300mm f/3.4-6.3 Pre-orders Start Soon and Shipping October 28

Just as we told you recently here, the Tamron 18-300mm f/3.4-6.3 is scheduled to be released in late October. More precisely on October 28 according to Nokishita.

As for the price, I guess it will cost about the same as the Sony E mount version.

The X-mount version of Tamron “18-300mm F3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD” is the same as “35-150mm F / 2-2.8 Di III VXD” and “28-75mm F / 2.8 Di III VXD G2“. It seems that it will be released on October 28, 2021. Reservation starts tomorrow (or the day after tomorrow)

TTArtisan 23mm f/5.6 for Fujifilm X Coming too?

FujiRumors has already share the TTArtisan lens roadmap for Fujifilm X and GFX mount (which includes the first TTArtisan autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount).

The roadmap has been passed to me directly by TTArtisan, so no need to take it with a grain of salt.

However, now at the Pergear website here, the same TTArtisan roadmap was published with the addition of a lens, not included in the one that had been provided to me by TTartisan, and it’s the TTArtisan 23mm f/5.6.

I assume that Pergear has received an updated roadmap by TTArtisan, hence we will now include this lens in our roadmap, too.

  1. September: APS-C 40mm f2.8 macro lens with Sony/Fuji/Canon/M43/Z/L mount.
  2. September: 90mm f1.25 lens with Sony E/Fuji GFX mount.
  3. October: APS-C 23mm f1.4 lens with Sony/Fuji/Canon/M43 mount.
  4. November/December: 28mm f5.6 lens with Leica M mount.
  5. Future: Autofocus lens for Fujifilm
  6. Future: TTArtisan 23mm f/5.6

Size Comparisons: Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 vs XF35mmF1.4 vs XF35mmF2 vs XF23mmF1.4II vs XF23mmF1.4 vs XF23mmF2

Camerasize has added the brand new Fujionn XF33mmF1.4 R LM WR and XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR. Hence you can now compare it to the other lenses in that focal range, the legendary Fujinon XF35mmF1.4 R and the much loved XF35mmF2 R WR as well as the original XF23mmF1.4 R (which was my trusty workhorse at the wedding I shot) and the XF23mmF2 R WR.

And just FYI, in case you wonder how accurate my leaked size comparison was, check out our article here. I’d say spot on!

In any case, lots of choices for Fujifilm X shooters in this range now. And that’s always a good thing.

My Thoughts on the September 2 Announcements and What Would You Like Fujifilm to Surprise You With Tomorrow?

So, very soon, on September 2 at 9AM New York time, Fujifilm will have a major announcement day.

The gear that will surely come is this one:

But as you know, X summit can always contain surprises that have never been rumored before.

So the question is, what would you like to get surprised with on September 2?

And just briefly, my quick thoughts on the gear to be announced tomorrow.

  • Fujifilm GFX50SII

Great move. Using the same design of GFX100S saves tons of R&D. Making GFX more affordable is of crucial importance. If there is the AF boost Fujifilm promises, then this will be a big hit. But as I wrote on my GFX100S hands on, retro vintage dials are just more fun for me to use, so I hope Fujifilm will also continue to give us different options in terms of form factor.

  • GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6

All good on specs (and really lovely from the leaked images). As I wrote already, it fixes the true anomaly in the G mount lens system. However, also here, I love aperture rings. This one has none. So I’ll stick with my GF32-64mmF4.

  • Fujifilm X-T30II

After the X-T30II specs leaked, some said that the X-T30II is slightly bigger than the original X-T30. But no, it is not. It’s exactly the same body size. The X-T30II is more or less just a firmware update as the Fujifilm X-E2S was for the Fujfiilm X-E2. The best news around this camera, is that we now can hope for major X-T30 firmware update, as also the X-E2 got the same firmware feature of the X-E2s at some point.

  • Fujinon XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR and XF33mmF1.4 R LM WR

Faster autofocus (linear motor), better build (weather sealing), capable to resolve more megapixel (for future higher megapixel cameras). This was not only a good move by Fujifilm, but a necessary one. You can read the full specs for both lenses here. Especially considering how popular these two focal lengths are, Fujifilm had to release some absolute stunners. And that’s what they are!

  • Meh or Wow?

Maybe we don’t get an exciting new camera with brand new sensor. Maybe we don’t get a totally surprising new lens (oh, where are you XF150-600), but the Fujifilm X Summit of tomorrow, September 2 at 9AM New York time is a very well thought out step forward by Fujifilm. Everything (except for the X-T30II) makes sense and will contribute to the growth of the X and GFX system.

And as I said above, I can’t remember a Fujifilm X summit that has not surprised us, either with some prototypes to show, development announcements and what not.

So, again, drop down below what you’d like to be surprised with tomorrow.
