Limited Edition Red Viltrox X Mount Lenses Coming Soon

Back in May we shared already some images of white and red Viltrox lenses. You can see them here.

Since then, we have not heard or seen anything about those lenses anymore… until today.

In fact, Viltrox just said on their official social media channels:

On a coming special day, Viltrox is ushering in a new style of 23/33/56mmXF lens series — ❤️RED❤️ Limited Edition !!
What would they look like？

Might fit well on one of those fancy red Fujifilm X-A bodies.

Fujifilm Gear 2021 In Stock Check (and it Doesn’t Look All That Good)

Fujifilm has definitely not been lazy and has announced tons of gear in 2021.

However, most of it is hard to find.

I was extremely lucky, as I grabbed the last available XF27mmF2.8 R WR at my local store on the first day the lockdown ended and I could finally leave my micro-village and drive to the store in the city nearby. And for the Fujifilm GFX100S I had to wait “only” 5 months.

But how does the situation look like now? Down below the in stock check of all the gear announced in 2021.

GFX100S

Adorama has a few samples in stock. No other store listed below has the GFX100S available. The store Moment expect availability on October 15.

GF80mmF1.7

A limited number of Fuji’s latest speed monster is available at AmazonUS here. The lens is in stock also at Focuscamera. The Fujinon GF80mmF1.7 is expected to be in stock in 2-4 weeks at BHphoto. Adorama just says “coming soon”. Moment expects it for October 21.

GFX50SII

It was originally planed to ship by the end of September, but Fujifilm issued an official delivery delay notice for the GFX50SII with GF35-70 kit, so let’s see how this will change things.

So far all stores expect the body only version as well as the kit version to be available on October 21.

GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6

So far stores expect it to ship on November 30. Only Adorama is slightly more optimistic and gives us November 20 as shipping start.

X-E4

It’s on back-order everywhere. And the situation seems to be rather dramatic, as BHphoto and AmazonUS even stopped accepting pre-orders on it. You can still order it at Adorama.

XF70-300mmF4-5.6

It is back-ordered everywhere. The only time indications we get comes from AmazonUS here, who expects stock around October 20 and Moment here, who is more optimistic and hopes to be able to ship some samples on October 3.

XF27mmF2.8 R WR

This is the one lens every X shooter should own (and I own it), but you can’t buy it at the moment, as it is unavailable everywhere. AmazonUS even gave up and stopped taking pre-orders on it for now.

X-T30II

It is expected to ship on October 21.

XF 33mmF1.4 R LM WR

It was supposed to start shipping on September 29, but pre-orders are very high and forced Fujifilm to issue an official delivery delay notice. Now it is expected to ship on October 21.

XF 23mmF1.4 R LM WR

It is expected to ship on November 30.

XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR

Good News. This one is in stock everywhere!

BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / Focuscamera

Fujinon XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR Pre-Orders Now also at AmazonUS

It took Amazon a while, but the Fujinon XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR is now available for pre-order also at AmazonUS here. Shipping is expected to start on November 30.

If everything goes well (and that’s a big IF), the other lens announced recently, the Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 should start shipping on October 21.

Latest Gear:

The Mysterious Fujifilm FF210005 Camera is the X-T30II

Recently the registration for the Fujifilm FF210005 camera was spotted here.

We immediately told you that it is probably just the Fujifilm X-T30II, which is now being confirmed at an Indonesian certification institute here (via nokishita).

We already told you that it can happen that registrations are spotted after the camera actually was announced. It was the case also with the X-E4 earlier this year and that according to our sources there won’t be any more MKII camera this year.

FujiCast with Fujifilm Manager: X-H2 Talk, Monochrome GFX, Amazing 2022 for Fuji, Kaizen Talk, “Tonygate” and More

Fujicast is back with new episode #197 and #198. Also again on the podcast, Fujifilm UK manager Andreas Georghiades.

Not so surprising, as Japanese Fujifilm managers confirmed it already a few times: there will be a Fujifilm X-H2 one day. It’s probably Fuji’s way to facepalm publicy when they read the fake rumor the X-H line had been canceled ;).

They also talk about the Tony Northrup video, where Tony does not look overly optimistic to Fujifilm’s future.

Down below you can find the podcast as well as a summary.

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-H2 Coming 2022 with 40 (not 43) Megapixel Sensor

Fujifilm X-H2

We have to be clear and careful.

So let’s start with what Fujifilm told us at the recent Fujifilm X Summit here:

And indeed, last year Sony has released a brand new 43 megapixel APS-C stacked BSI sensor.

So it’s a done deal, right? We will get a Fujifilm X-H2 with 43 megapixel APS-C stacked BSI sensor as everybody speculates based on Sony’s sensor offering?

Well, no!

After the X summit, several trusted sources reached out to us and wanted me to inform fellow FR-readers, that the Fujifilm X-H2 will have a 40 megapixel sensor.

No more details given for now.

Now, I don’t know if it is the same 43 megapixel sensor we talked about earlier, but Fujifilm will effectively use only 40 of those for some obscure reason, or if it’s simply just another sensor we don’t know about yet. I will investigate this and let you know.

What is sure, is that once the Fujifilm X-H2 hits the market, it will be sold and marketed as a 40MP camera.

And quite frankly, in a world where every megapixel matters, it would be a bad marketing move to use a 43MP sensor and advertise it as a lower resolution 40MP sensor. So my guess (not rumor, guess), is that it’s a true 40 megapixel sensor.

But…

Attention…

FujiRumors already and exclusively told you that there will be two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras coming.

Will both feature this 40MP sensor, maybe one in X-Trans version and the other with a more affordable Bayer sensor? Or will one have a selfie screen and the other a 3 way tilt screen? A retro and a PSAM version? Or will there be two completely different sensors? Or maybe it’s the same sensor, just one in a video oriented camera maybe even with built-in fan, and a more stills oriented body?

Questions, that shall not remain unanswered for too long. Just follow FujiRumors and your doubts and questions will dissipate soon enough ;).

Until then, check out our initial X-H2 rumored specs list.
