New SIRUI 50mm f/1.8 1,33x Anamorphic lens for Fujifilm X Coming Soon

I guess for all of us Sirui is well known for its tripods, such as my Sirui T-025X.

So it comes rather surprising, to see them launching the Sirui 50mm/F1.8 1,33x anamorphic lens for Fujifilm X.

It won’t cost more than €500 and be available for Fujifilm X, Sony FE and MicroFourThirds.

It’s a manual focus lens with 0.85m minimum focus distance. It will weight about 560 gramm.

It will be available within this year.

APS-C Crop is Cr&p, Amazon Goes Crazy, Fujifilm 2019/2020 Release Timeline, X100V, XF16-80, GF50 and More Top Articles for July

I guess many of you were (and hopefully still are or are going soon) on holidays in these weeks.

So maybe, between a jump into the refreshing water, a mountain hike and a whole day city exploring, you might have missed some of the articles we have shared in July.

Hence, for your convenience, here are the top 15 FujiRumors articles for July.

Personally, my travel is done already, as I have been to stunningly beautiful Croatia with that fanboy SonyAlphaRumors guy.

We will see if I can sneak in another trip into what remains of my summer break. If so, make sure to follow my Instagram to see where I am hanging around.

But even if I can’t travel, I live in a wonderful spot of this planet. Beauty is all around me, and my Fuji is always ready to capture it.

Oh… and my wife is starting out with photography this summer, so I can’t be more happy than this anyway :) #proudhusband

Enjoy your summer!

Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D for Fujifilm GFX Coming Very Soon: Widest Fujifilm G Mount Lens Takes 86mm Screw Fitler

Venus Optics officially launched the Laowa 17mm f/4 back at Photokina 2018.

After several delays, the lens is now ready for the final release, which, according to Venus Optics, will happen within the next few days.

Jonas Rask has already teased in his GF50mm first look that he is testing a wide angle lens. So expect to see a first hands on to come from Jonas.

The Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D will be the widest lens for Fujifilm GFX and will take 86mm screw filters, so no need to carry around bigger filter holders systems.

Dear Fujifilm X APS-C Shooters, I didn’t Forget About You (despite GFX100) and Here is a Fujinon XF Lens Roundup

It’s the same old story:

New camera comes, FujiRumors covers its launch, people not interested in that particular camera complain that FR covers that camera.

That’s why, back at the GFX50 launch, I wrote the article, “Dear FR-readers, we have to talk“.

The article was extremely effective, since, using hardcore numbers, it showed how readers perception can be so different from the truth.

But writing that article cost me a lot of time. And I just returned from an 8 hour drive from my holiday in Croatia, and I am exhausted, also because I was on holiday with the SonyAlphaRumors guy, which lead to some epic fanboy fights discussions and photowalks.

So I’ll just say this:

  • FujiRumors is free
  • I write over 1,000 articles a year
  • FujiRumors is a hobby I run in my spare time from my teaching job (and it’s not always easy). Maybe next year I will vlog about a day in FR-life. Bring you inside my teacher day life, so you might understand better how it is to run FR

But who cares. I mean who cares about how much time and effort I put into this. It’s not your business.

Blogging on FR is my passion since 8 years now, and I do it with the joy to share the Fuji passion with all of you.

I ask you just one thing: please, just do not complain, when, in coincidence with the launch of a massive camera like the Fujifilm GFX100, I share a bit more GFX news than usual.

You don’t like it? Just skip the news.

With all that said, of course I do not forget about Fuji’s APS-C system.

And so I thought to dedicated this roundup to the most important part of our beloved APS-C system: the XF lenses.

If you want, down below are about 30 links and videos covering all kind of XF lenses.
