I never used Anglebird cards, but I know they have a very loyal and happy fellowship also among Fujfilm shooters.
Fujifilm even officially recommends some of their memory cards for their cameras.
CFexpress Type B – from the official list of recommended CFexpress cards
These Anglebird cards also have no compromise in performance, so they will give you the highest bursts and access to the full video capabilities of the X-H2 and X-H2s.
So what’s the story today?
Well, the first story is about a factory tour CineD did at the Anglebird headquarter in Austria. I guess some will be surprised to see how much goes into developing something that looks so obvious and simple to us. Especially when quality controls and standards are very high, as it seems to be in the case of Angelbird.
So, if you want to know how they compete against Asian giants, if you want to see the heavy stress tests they put their cards into, the huge works that goes into checking the compatibility with so many cameras on the market (and so many firmware for each camera to create their own compatibility list), then check out the CineD video.
The second story is a bit a wider one.
When CineD asked what is around the corner for Anglebird, they said they are always in development and there is a lot around the corner. They don’t want to say what right now and release only when they are fully satisfied with the product.
And at this point Anglebird says:
We are happy that the trade shows are not driving the market anymore, where there was “this trade show” and then “that trade show” and you have to release. We release the product once it’s ready. You can be sure a lot is coming and our development plan is for 3 and for 5 years.
I guess that’s valid also for Fujifilm and other camera brands. There is not Photokina anymore, where you had to release your stuff in order to grab the biggest headline. And other trade shows are becoming smaller, less influential and are tailored more to showcase products to the regional market.
The real trade show is on the internet itself. And that one is available non-stop 365 days a year, giving companies more freedom on when to launch new stuff.

I am terribly sorry…. terribly sorry that many of you had to wait so long to be featured.
But no matter how hard I work, especially in a crazy 2022, with 3 higher end cameras coming out and 4 XF lenses coming out, I simply could not find time to collect all your wishes and share them.
So I’ll do it today… I grabbed a large beer, took a deep breath, and worked to organise the wishes I have received over the last few months in this article.
So… down below it is: the FR-readers wishlist roundup
Fujifilm USA runs over the several 30ish-ranged Fujinon lenses, highlighting their differences and making a final recommendation.
Lots of choice in that range, but which one is best?
Fujifilm USA (video below) says the XF30mmF2.8 Macro is probably the best prime lens you should consider getting if you are new to the X system and you are looking to purchase your first prime lens.
Because it’s kind of the jack of all trades: it can do macro (the others can’t), it has extremely fast autofocus even at close distances (some of the other lenses have not that fast AF), it is very sharp, has low to no chromatic aberration, it’s ideal for high resolution X cameras (X-T5 and X-H2), and with $600 pricing it is still affordable for many people.
My take?
Well, I personally would still recommend the XF35mmF1.4 as first prime lens. It can’t do Macro, but it is still affordable and much faster with its 1.4 aperture. Plus it’s one of those character lenses that will give you magic results.
But certainly the XF30mm f/2.8 is also a wonderful and versatile option for a first prime lens.
You can watch the full video below.
Nokishita leaked on an anonymous Japanese Forum the main specs of the Fujinon XF30mm f/2.8 Macro.
As FR-readers know, the lens will be announced along with the Fujifilm X-T5 on November 2 at 9AM New York time.

Rumors and Discussions
At the very end of the last Fujifilm X Summit, there was that “one more thing” moment, and this time Fujifilm decided to show us mockups of the Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 Tilt shift lens and Fujinon GF110mmF5.6 Tilt Shift Macro lens.
We reported about it here already.
One might remember that already back in September 2021 Fujifilm showed us the mock up of one of those lenses, but at that time it was still an f/4 lens, the Fujinon GF30mmF4 tilt shift.
That mockup showed a was rather hefty lens, so I guess that in order to save size and weight (and to make it more affordable), Fujinon redesigned it to be an f/5.6 lens.
A good decision in my eyes, as the new hands on images that now appeared (see them below) over at digitalcameraworld, show a definitely smaller lens.
The Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 T/S lens will appeal particularly to architecture and inferior design photographers whereas the GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro to food and product photographers.

RUMOR, NEWS and COMMUNITY
When Fujifilm started to release the newest f/1.4 lens trinity, they all got the weather sealing, a new optical design to resolve the 40MP of the X-H2 and X-T5 and they also got a linear motor for blazing fast autofocus.
Well, according to our trusted sources, the Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 II will follow that path, but not completely.
We got told this by trusted sources:
So what the XF56mmF1.2 II will lack over the the latest f/1.4 lenses is the linear motor.
We remind you that the current version uses DC coreless motor (the smallest motor). Stepping motors are better but bigger. So I wonder (not rumor) if this version has a stepping motor.
Before we make any judgment on AF, let’s wait for the real world reports, which will all drop on September 8 and we will cover live here on FujiRumors

Rumors and Discussions
We are approaching the end of the year, hence we will be bombarded by 2021 top and flop gear posts and videos.
DPReview shared their top and flop gear already, and we reported about it here.
Now also BHphoto has put up their list for the top 10 mirrorless cameras of 2021.
Once again the latest GFX gear enters the ranking at the very high positions. But the GFX system gets its consecration not only in the year-end rankings, but also at the box office, where especially the Fujifilm GFX100S is causing headache to Fujifilm due to a high demand they simply can’t match.
And what about Fuji’s APS-C series? Well, things look good, very good for the X system in 2022. Just keep an eye on the latest X-H2 rumors ;).
BHphoto Explora – Top 10 Mirrorless Cameras of 2021
You can read the full list here at B&H.
One of the most intriguing lenses Fujifilm will launch in near future (within 2021), is definitely the Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6, a very affordable zoom for the Fujifilm GFX system.
To see which other lenses (and cameras) will be launched this year, but also in 2022, check out our rumored X/GFX 2021/2022 timeline.
But back to the GF35-70mm.
We already told you that the lens will have a collapsible design, similar to the one we find on the Fujinon XC15-45mm F3.5-5.6. This means that when you first turn the lens, you are not already zooming. You are just pushing out the lens. Only once pushed out, you can start zooming.
This sort of design helps to keep lens size smaller.
But how small will the Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 be?
Well, thanks to indication of our sources, we can now share an approximate size comparison between the upcoming Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 and the already existing and quite frankly stellar (and now hugely discounted) Fujinon GF32-64mmF4. You can see the comparison above.
Of course the rendering shows the lens in its smallest size possible.
This is approximate size comparison I made using an imaginary mock-up I made out of the rumors shared so far, so do not expect it to be a 100% super accurate size comparison. But it will help you to get an idea on what is about to come from Fujifilm.
Now, I own the Fujinon GF32-64mmF4 and love it. And I also love the fact that it has an aperture ring, which the Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 won’t have. So no regrets here and I will happily stick with my GF32-64mmF4.
But the Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 has also its strengths: a sensibly smaller size (as you can see above) and a much more affordable price tag.
I can see what Fujifilm is doing here, and as I said in this article, it makes a whole lot of sense, as it finally fixes the true anomaly in the G mount lens lineup.
So guys, that was it for today. But more juicy stuff will come ;).
