Kevin Mullins: Fujifilm 50mm F2 ~ A Surprising Gem at f16.click: “This is where the little lens has taken me surprise; I’m using it all the time when shooting weddings and guess what? I’m really enjoying using it. The 50mm F2 is a brilliantly built, epically quick and phenomenally fast lens. I love it.”

  • Reasonably fast and very accurate autofocus
  • Quite sharp at any aperture, even into the image corners
  • Very pleasing bokeh
  • Good control of lateral chromatic aberration, flare and vignetting
  • Affordable

Cons

  • Longitudinal CA can cause a magenta or green fringe in front of or behind the focus point
  • A touch of pincushion distortion

The Spectacular Fujinon GF32-64mmF4 is Now $500 Off plus New Unofficial XF Lens Deals

The Unofficial Fujifilm XF Lens Deal

Earlier today we reported that mainly BHphoto (but in some cases also Amazon and Adorama) offer unofficial Fujifilm deals.

Unofficial because they are not part of the official Fujiilm X deals (full list below), and hence we don’t know how long they will last.

The New Official GF Lens Deal

Fujifilm just added the spectacular Fujinon GF32-64mm F4 lens to the list of their officially rebate GF lenses.

And I don’t call the GF32-64mm “spectacular” just randomly.

I actually own it, took tons of images with it, and it’s out of this world in terms of image quality and flexibility.

For example, it was the only lens I used on my multi-day Dolomites hiking trip… and you can also see me in action with it on this Dolomite video.

And guess what? After I published an image I took with it, the SonyAlphaRumors guy wrote me asking how I edited the colors in that image, because he loved them so much. It was an easy answer, as I just said “I did not edit at all… it’s Astia out of the box“. I guess that’s something hard to comprehend if you are not a Fujifilm shooter ;).

Most of the Fujifilm deals are running well into the new year and will officially end on January 18.

However, there is one exception you should be aware of: the $200 price drop on the Fujifilm X half is only available until December 28.

Fujifilm went super-aggressive with the GFX deals thanks to an up to $1,000 rebate which is even made better by the addition of a free CFexpress Type B and camera bag only at BHphoto.

10 Fujifilm Cameras Meet for Thanksgiving Dinner and This is What Happened Next

Thanksgiving is here, and while most families argue over who burned the stuffing, we in the Fujifilm community know the real drama happens when our cameras show up to dinner. If each Fujifilm camera were a guest, here’s what they’d bring to the table — literally.

X-T5
Arrives with a fully homemade meal, proudly reminding everyone that every single step was done manually — even the gravy. Keeps adjusting the dinner table “for composition”.

GFX100S II
Brings a turkey so gigantic the table collapses. Says it’s “just a casual medium-format bird”. Everyone pretends they’re not intimidated.

X-Pro3
Brings a gourmet dish but serves it face-down, so nobody can actually see it. “Stop chimping through the dishes. Focus on the Thanksgiving experience first, not the results” it insists, refusing to flip the plate over. Spends the whole evening fully present and savoring every moment.

X-S20
Shows up quietly with store-bought mashed potatoes, super humble, not bragging about anything. Yet all the other cameras side-eye it because it secretly carries features no one else has — like that fully automatic subject-detection mode that does all the work while pretending it’s “nothing special.

X-E5
Arrives with a small, perfectly curated dish — nothing fancy, but stylish enough that everyone compliments it. Quietly slips into a seat, looking effortlessly cool without even trying.

X-M5
Shows up with a perfectly plated appetizer, but keeps looking around the table like it’s lost. No EVF to guide it, so it improvises — and somehow, every shot still turns out amazing anyway.

X70
Shows up quietly without being invited… mostly because everyone forgot it even existed. Brings a tiny but absolutely delicious dish that makes everyone wonder, “Wait, why did Fujifilm never make another one of you?” Then it slips away before anyone can ask for the recipe.

X-H2S
Arrives with a towering trifle that’s already collapsing, fruit spilling everywhere, and layers sliding off the plate. Immediately realizes it’s still running last year’s flawed firmware, apologizes to the group, and rushes off to the kitchen to install the update — promising to return once everything is perfectly stabilized — it’s still there, struggling to connect to the smartphone app to finally install the update.

X100VI
Was supposed to bring artisanal cranberry sauce, but got kidnapped by scalpers as soon as it left home. Never made it to the dinner, leaving everyone scrolling online, refreshing for a glimpse of it. It was later spotted on eBay, held hostage with a wildly overpriced ransom for release.

X-T6
And then, totally surprising to anyone, a guest from the future shows up of nowhere: the Fujifilm X-T6! It brings a futuristic dish nobody’s ever seen before, full of features and flavors that blow everyone’s mind. The other fellow cameras on the table are curious, asks questions. The Fujifilm X-T6 just whispers something about having a new heart and brain, about firmware improvements, about features no other camera has ever heard of before. It ends up saying “everything will change” and then vanishes before anyone can ask more questions. Only left a note behind: read FujiRumors.com, and you’ll know soon enough ;).

The End

That’s my way to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving.

And feel free to let more cameras join the dinner in the comments down below. Other brands are welcome too :).

Fujifilm X-T6 Coming Second Half 2026 – And What About X-Pro4, X-H3/S, X-T60, X-S30 and Rest of 6th-Gen Wave?

I shared the rumor that the Fujifilm X-T6 will come in the second half of 2026.

Now, many have been skeptical and said this can’t be possible.

Why?

Because, if we look at the refresh rate of…

… we can see that even taking the historic slowest refresh rate for X-T* cameras, we should have gotten an X-T6 in August 2025 already.

Hence, a Fujifilm X-T6 release in the second half of 2026 would be extraodrinarily, almost impossibly, slow.

But… and this is what I forgot to tell you in my previous article… this information comes from trusted sources. So I can only confirm what I wrote already.

And now I need to answer the question that inevitably popped-up: what about the Fujifilm X-Pro4, Fujifilm X-H3, Fujifilm X-H3S, Fujifilm X-S30, Fujifilm X-T60, Fujifilm X-E6, Fujifilm GFX100 III and the rest of the 6th generation cameras?

So here is where I have to be very clear – and you should read carefully:

I do not know if the Fujifilm X-T6 will be the first camera to feature the 6th generation platform or if there will be other 6th gen. cameras coming maybe in the first half of 2026.

I will try my best to find the answer for you… but it certainly would help if somebody could drop me hint, 100% anonymously via rumor box or Signal chat, or via email at fujirumor@gmail.com or personal message on social media.
