Fellow FR-readers,

at the risk of getting emotional, I owe you an update.

I told you a few days ago that I was about to become father. And I noticed that in the comments people rightfully asked if I am father now or not.

The answer is yes.

And faster than any Fujifilm camera can focus, my son became the biggest joy of my life.

It was like all those moments of happiness I missed in my life, that have been taken away from me or that I was not able to catch, all that happiness I’ve lost on my way until today, the universe did not throw that happiness away, but stored it somewhere in a secret place and decided to give it back to me all at once the moment my son was born.

Or to say it in an even more poetic way: it felt so good like Fujifilm would have released the X-H2 ;).

Sadly, though, during the birth and now also in his first days of life, my son has some struggles and he has to fight a little bit. But he is in excellent hands. They check him constantly, and always give him the treatments he needs. I am confident that in a few days, I will finally be able to bring them home.

Images of my baby?

Well, something strange happened.

We were at 4 hours after the birth, when my wife noticed I hadn’t taken a single image. She asked me if did not want to take pictures. That’s why I brought my gear with me, right? After she told me this, I took a few images, but then stopped immediately and told her “I just want to be in this moment now, I’ll take pictures tomorrow!”

This alone, shows the magnitude of the event… I forgot my gear! ;).

Also, I am not teaching anymore because I am on parental leave. Family is my uttermost priority.

So, that was it already.

I am totally happy.

I wish you all the best and see you soon again on FujiRumors :)

BREAKING: Fujifilm Working on Fujinon XF 150-600mm Lens

Just recently we told you that there won’t be any XF300mmF4 and XF500mmF5.6 in 2021.

Well, I’ve read all the comments to that article, and while some say that those would be very niche lenses and almost nobody would buy them anyway, most of you guys were disappointed by that rumor.

But today I might have something that could cheer up some of you.

I received information from trusted sources, that Fujifilm is working on a Fujinon XF150-600mm lens!

I don’t know the aperture range, but you guys can tell us in the comments what you would like.

But you know how the game goes: slower lens means smaller and cheaper whereas faster lens means bigger and more expensive. So pick your aperture wisely.

And remember, Sigma is rumored to start to make Fuji X mount lenses in 2021 (Sigma itself hinted this!), too. And I hope they’ll be smart enough to release lenses currently not covered by Fujinon glass, hence exactly those long telephoto primes some of you need for your photography.

So, don’t give up all hope guys. ;)

Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR with Same Optics of Original XF27mmF2.8

On January 27 at the Fujifilm X Summit at 8AM New York time, Fujifilm will announce lots of stuff:

Today we have an update regarding the XF27mmF2.8 MK II.

We already told you that it will be weather sealed and have an aperture ring. Now we can add that it will share the same optics of the original XF27mmF2.8. And that’s perfectly fine. I own it, and I can tell you the image quality in terms of sharpness, fringing and chromatic aberration is really good. I frankly do not see any need to change the optics.

Meet my New Fujinon XF Lens… and What You can Do to Convince my Wife it Was a Good Investment ;)

It was in my cart for a long time. And this time, I could not resist anymore.

I took advantage of the cashback deals expiring on January 17, and just grabbed it.

Which lens is it?

When I asked to drop the guess on Instagram here, many thought I already own the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8MKII or the Fujinon XF70-300mmF4-5.6.

But guys, that gear will be announcement on January 27. And I never get anything ahead from Fujifilm, nor any discount on gear. I pay my stuff full price just like any of you.

So, it has to be an “older” lens, and more precisely, the arguably sharpest Fujinon XF lens out there.
