When Viltrox announced they’d launch the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 Pro AF X mount lens in Q2 of 2023, you guys asked me especially one question: how big will this lens be?
So I did what I have to do: try to answer your questions.
And today we can give you a very accurate answer: we can share the very first images of the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 XF Pro autofocus lens.
And not only that, we can also share them side by side with the new Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 PRO XF lens.
But as much as I love the pancake size and the terrific portability of those lenses, I would love to have a very fast 27mm alternative to those lenses. And the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 seems to be just that.
So this kind of requires me to ask for your kindness and time again, and to let you again vote on the survey. But this time I’ll include the option of the X-Trans IV sensor.
Only one camera will get an additional option: the Fujifilm X-Pro4. Because, as I told you recently, I think Fujifilm will continue to experiment with that camera line; experiments that could include also a different type of sensor. But to be clear: it’s all just speculation from my side, not a rumor. Just to be clear and avoid misunderstandings.
So, down below you can vote your favourite sensor for each camera again.
Also, in the video I made today will share what my favourite sensor would be for each camera.
We recently reported that Viltrox has officially teased the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 for Fujifilm X coming soon.
Now, according to information leaked overseas, the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 will get the “PRO” badge, so we can expect it to be optically on the higher end as the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Pro for Fujifilm X mount.
This does not come really surprising, given the same fast aperture, but never give anything for granted ;).
Viltrox is teasing their lens roadmap for the second quarter of 2023.
The roadmap includes the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 XF for Fujifilm X mount.
Let us know in the comments what you think about it. As a lover of the 27mm focal length myself (and owner of two 27mm lenses, this one and this one), I am definitely looking forward to see how this new Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 will turn out to be.
And more precisely, let’s share the probably most important rumor I can share about it: the sensor it will have.
According to trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-S20 will feature the 26MP BSI X-Trans IV sensor, so exactly the same sensor we currently have on the Fujifilm X-T4, X-T3, X-S10 and many other Fujifilm cameras.
As an owner of the 40MP Fujifilm X-T5 sensor, my personal wish would be to see that sensor in as many future Fujifilm X series cameras as possible, but I am well aware that many of you consider the combo 26MP + X-Processor 5 to be the best option for the Fujifilm X-S20.
So, there are Pros and Cons in the choice Fujifilm made, which makes me definitely curious to see what the Fujifilm X-S20 will be able to deliver by using this combo.
NOTE: I don’t have rumors about the processor on the Fujifilm X-S20, but I assume it will use the X-Processor 5.

Fellow Fujifilm X and GFX shooters,
We’ve got some exciting (and maybe controversial) news to share with you today!
We’ve heard a rumor that Fujifilm is set to release a firmware update that will change the game forever. The update will introduce a revolutionary feature called “Midjourney,” which will allow users to create fake images with just the press of the shutter button. Above you can see a screenshot of the press release one of our sources is about to pull live in a few hours (thanks for sharing it with us).
That’s right, you heard it here first! With Midjourney, you’ll be able to capture stunning shots that never actually happened. Imagine: just point the camera to a tree and tell the built-in Midjourney feature to add a rare bird resting on the branches. You’ll be the envy of all your photographer friends with your seemingly impossible shots.
But wait, there’s more! Midjourney isn’t just limited to wildlife photography. You can use it in any genre of photography to add that extra element of surprise and creativity to your work. Want to add a unicorn to your landscape shots? No problem. Want to make it look like you captured the perfect moment between two people who weren’t actually there at the same time? Easy peasy!
We know some of you may be concerned about the ethical implications of creating fake images, but we assure you that Fujifilm has thought this through. The company has stated that Midjourney will only be available to those who have completed an extensive online course on digital ethics, ensuring that all users are responsible and considerate with their new superpower.
So mark your calendars and get ready for the biggest game-changer in photography since the invention of the camera itself. Fujifilm’s Midjourney firmware update is set to release later today on April 1st, and I can’t wait to see what incredible images we create!
Happy snapping,
Patrick
