I confirm that the lenses listed above are indeed the 4 new lenses that the manager was talking about, and hence the ones that will be officially announced by February/March 2021.

According to a new anonymous source (that uses a nickname, thanks for that), Fujifilm is going to soon announce a new lens roadmap.
TO THE SOURCE: if you want, we can have a more direct and confidential talk via email (fujirumor@gmail.com). Would be great if we could. Otherwise no problem, thanks a lot already for the help today and for using a nickname, which helps me a lot already.

It’s unclear if there will be an update also for the G mount lens roadmap. But we have leaked Fujifilm’s internal long term G mount roadmap already.
Besides the already pre-announced Fujinon GF80mm f/1.7, here are the top 2 candidates to enter the G mount lens roadmap next:

John Branch has published a video, where he compares the brand new Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0 with the much loved Fujinon XF56mm f/1.2.
Down below are his findings, but keep in mind: the video was filmed BEFORE the important XF50mmF1.0 firmware update.
Especially considering the current huge deal on XF56mmF1.2 lenses, the 56mmF1.2 is great value for money (a lens I own and love). But from all I could see so far, if you do not mind the extra weight and size, the Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 is the way to go.
Fujifilm really put magic into that lens, a magic best described by Jonas Rask here, when he says:
My all time favorite lens from Fujifilm is the XF35mm f/1.4R – In my eyes it’s the perfect lens. There have been many wordings about that lens, and one thing that keeps on popping up in discussions is that it has a certain something that no-one seem to able to define. It always end up being labeled as “magic” which is silly.
The reason for its look is found in the optical design, a design that Fujinon decided to continue into the XF50mm f/1R WR. And that makes the images coming from this lens extremely appealing to those who like the look of the XF35mm f/1.4.
The images coming from XF50mm f/1 R WR has those exact same undefinable traits that makes me love my XF35mm f/1.4 so much. The sharpness that is sharp, yet not overly sharp. A flattering kind of sharpness that seems more rounded, organic and less digital/clinical. A bokeh rendering that is soft, delicious and very calming to the eye, and a color reproduction that gives a very lovely depth to especially warm color tones.
In other words, the XF50mm F/1 R WR is the portrait lens version of the XF35mm f/1.4 R!
Fujifilm has crafted a massive winner, and initial sales figures seems to confirm it!
I blog on FujiRumors since almost a decade now, and over all these years, I have heard many times announcements of the death of the Fujifilm X series since the launch of the original Sony A7. And the same “Fujifilm APS-C is dead” voices continue to come back, may it be the announcement fo the Nikon Z5 or the imminent announcement of the Sony A7c.
Now, I already showed which compromises “cheap” full frame cameras have to do, in order to compete with high end APS-C cameras. You can check it out in this article.
But today we talk about the Sony A7c, a camera that will be priced above $2k according to SonyAlphaRumors (hence more than twice the price of the Fujifilm X-E3).
Above you can see a size comparison between Sony A7c and Fujifilm X-E3 and X-T30.
And yet, it’s not only about price. Let’s check out 7 key differences between APS-C and Full Frame.
Disclaimer (read to avoid anger :) )
No matter if full frame, APS-C or medium format. There is not the perfect sensor size, and each system has its Pros and Cons.
However, this article is just an attempt to try to understand, why DPReview and Petapixel think that APS-C is the sweet spot. So I listed a few reasons, where APS-C could be considered better than full frame.
By no means I want to say that full frame or medium format is worse. All I want to say is that also APS-C has it’s strong cards to play in the current mirrorless war.
