RUMOR: Fujinon XF18mmF1.4 R WR with 62mm Filter Size

March was a month full of exclusive and breaking rumors:

You guys tell me if you’d like to have a break from the rumors, otherwise I’ll just continue, ok?

No complaints? Ok, so let’s go ahead. :)

Today we talk about the upcoming Fujinon XF18mmF1.4 R WR, the only not yet released lens so far that we can find on the official Fujifilm roadmap (** list of non yet announced X mount lenses below).

Well, we have seen hands on images of the Fujinon XF18mmF1.4 R WR at the X summit of October 2020 here. FujiRumors has also taken the official XF18mmF1.4 sketches shared by Fujifilm and made a size comparison Fujinon XF16mm f/1.4 and the XF23mm f/1.4, which you can see here.

From that size comparison, we saw that the size of the XF18mmF1.4 R WR is somewhere in between the one of the Fujinon XF16mm f/1.4 and the XF23mm f/1.4.

The additional information we got about the XF18mmF1.4 R WR is that it will have a 62mm filter size. As a reference, the XF16mmF1.4 R WR has a 67mm filter size, whereas the XF23mmF1.4 R has also a 62mm filter size.

** FujiRumors has leaked two more lenses that will come, but are not yet included in the roadmap, the Fujinon XF150-600mm and the Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 R WR.

BCN Ranking 2020 vs 2019: Fujifilm Resists Best to COVID-19 and Nikon Suffers

The BCN ranking for the year 2020 has been published. BCN collects data of about 40% of the Japanese electronics and online stores.

Every camera company lost sales compared to 2019, however, Fujifilm did best, getting very close to 2019 in terms of sales thanks to the excellent sales of the Fujifilm X-T4, the Fujifilm X-S10 and the Fujifilm X100V. The only flop of 2020 was the Fujifilm X-T200, which is in my opinion the single best entry level camera you can get, but sadly it did not get the success it deserved.

This confirms what a Fujifilm managers already hinted here: Fujifilm did better in 2020 than other brands.

Now let’s look at the data.

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-H2 Will Come in 2022 and be Worth the Wait

Fujifilm X-H2

Ok, my little boy sleeps. So let’s rock it :).

Recently Fujifilm registered a new camera, the FF210001.

The top guess in the comments was that this is the Fujifilm X-H2, and I know why.

In fact, popular youtubers and websites either gave it as a fact or speculated that the Fujifilm X-H2 will come in 2021.

FujiRumors preferred not to join the “X-H2 in 2021” club. What we did, though, is to contact our sources and ask them what they think about it.

Well, according to multiple trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-H2 will come in 2022.

Also, our top trusted Japanese source enthusiastically wrote me it will be “well worth the wait“. We scheduled a skype talk for next days, so I hope to be able to get more details soon and be allowed to share them here on FujiRumors with you guys next.

Looks like the big breakthrough for the Fujifilm X-H2 that Fujifilm was talking about will happen, but still needs a bit more time.

Ah, one more thing: more rumors are coming ;).

Fujifilm X-T4 Anyone

Look, I own the Fujifilm X-T4, and I genuinely think that it’s an fantastic camera with the arguably best value for money ratio of any camera also in 2021.

Also, Fujifilm hinted that autofocus improvements will come via firmware update, so also this could help to make the waiting time for the Fujifilm X-H2 easier.

Good things take time. You want the X-H2 to be amazing. Fujifilm will deliver, but needs just a bit more time for that.

BREAKING: Another Fujinon XF f/1.4 Prime Lens Coming 2021 in Addition to XF18mmF1.4 (Not XF35mmF1.4 R WR)

Fujifilm recently said that there will be “more lenses for X and GFX mount” coming in 2021.

Of course one of those will be the Fujinon XF18mmF1.4 R WR which is on the official roadmap.

And that’s already it, no other lenses are the latest Fujinon X and GFX roadmaps.

However, FujiRumors already exclusively leaked for you that there will be also:

Now trusted sources contacted me, saying that one more lens coming in 2021 will be a Fujinon XF f/1.4 prime lens. As we told you recently, it won’t be the XF35mmF1.4 R WR, though.

So, another nice and fast f/1.4 prime will join the X club in 2021.

What’s your top wish?

Fujinon XF 18-200mm F3.5-6.5 Patent Spotted in 2014 gets Patent Revival in 2021

A patent has been spotted for a Fujinon XF 18-200mm F3.5-6.5. Now, I remember that a patent about a Fujinon18-200mm F3.5-6.5 has been spotted also back in 2014, and the optical design is similar indeed.

From the patent details we see that this lens has a higher optical magnification than the XF16-80mm F4 and the XF18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 and covers the angle of view equivalent to “25.5-300mm” in full size. The patent does not mention OIS.
