Fujinon XF 16-200 vs XF 18-135 Size Comparison and Thoughts

We recently took a look at the 8 remaining lenses Fujifilm has “under consideration” for future release.

And since I love this lens here, I picked as my favorite future lens the Fujinon XF16-200mm superzoom.

Now, I know it would make me look more “Pro” if I’d advocate for red-badge fast lenses.

But hey, if Melinda Sue Gordon shoots the official backstage images of the Dunkirk blockbuster with the XF18-135mm lens – we reported here – then I guess the lens is plenty of good enough also for my much more humble needs.

With that said, I decided to take a closer look at the potential XF16-200mm, based on specs given to us by Fujifilm (and turned into the above silhouette by FR-reader Hiergeist), to see if the XF16-200mm could really be a potential replacement for the XF18-135mm.

  • Fujinon XF 16-200mm
    – length 120-140mm
    – diameter 70-80
    – weight 600-800g
  • Fujinon XF 18-135mm
    – length 97.8mm at minium extension and 156mm at maximum extension
    – diameter 75.7
    – weight 490g

We can see: especially on the shorter side of the range given to us by Fujifilm, the XF16-200 would be quite close in size to the current XF18-135mm (just about 22mm longer and 110g heavier).

If Fujifilm would launch the Fujinon XF16-200mm, then I would surely buy it to replace the XF18-135mm.

In fact, after I bought the XF18-135mm I sold both my XF18-55mm and XF55-200mm. But having again the option to go all the way at 200mm and also to go wider at 16mm would be very welcome, especially if the overall size and weight increase are contained as suggested by the specs shared by Fujifilm.

So, I stand by my wish: if I have to pick one, I would like the Fujinon XF 16-200mm.

But again, feel free to drop your wish and vote here.

The deals on Fujifilm X and GFX gear in Europe and Canada are ending. There are deals pretty much all over the world, from the Philippines to Australia and more

There is only one country that has no deals running since a couple of months now: the United States of America. I guess recently it’s not a great time for Fujifilm USA to launch deals… it’s more about figuring out how not to raise prices.

Fujifilm X-T5 (Made in Japan) Now in Stock at B&H — How to Spot It vs the Still-Available China Version

We told you a few weeks ago that Fujifilm has shifted production of these four camera models from China to Japan.

And after the X100VI a few days ago, we now have also the Fujifilm X-T5 made in Japan in stock at BHphoto, in both silver color and black color.

And while the made in China X100VI is discontinued at BHphoto, you can still find the made in China X-T5 in stock at BHphoto.

So how do you make sure you’re getting the made in Japan version (if that’s important to you)?

Here’s how — and this also answers questions some FR readers have asked here.

When visiting the product page at B&H, look at the URL in your browser’s address bar. The made in Japan version will have “japan” at the end:

This applies to the made in Japan versions of the X100VI made in Japan, the X-T50 made in Japan and the X-M5 made in Japan.

If you’re on a mobile device and can’t easily see the full URL, just check the product code. The made in Japan versions will end with JP. For example:

Again, this “JP” suffix applies to the other models, too.

And just to be clear: JP doesn’t stand for “Just Perfect” — though it might as well ;) — it stands for Japan.

So, if made in Japan matters to you, now you know exactly how to identify and grab the right version — while both Japan and China variants are still available in the US.

Fujifilm Confirms X-Pro is on Roadmap, Immersive X-E5 Experience, Film Simulation Dial Success, Firmware Updates and More

Yuji Igarashi, General Manager of Professional Imaging Group, gave an interview to Petapixel. In short:

  • with Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm wanted to create a camera with which users can truly enjoy the immersive experience of making a photo
  • recently there is resurgence of interest in photography especially among younger generations
  • camera design is never complete, since Fujifilm tries to make improvements in every generation for every model
  • features often carry over from models aimed at the same users
  • X-E5 has single piece aluminum top plate of GFX100RF and the film simulation dial was added—like on the X-T50 and X-M5—but more subtly, to preserve the X-E series’ clean design
  • the film sim dial proved successful on other models, so Fujifilm brought it to the X-E5 for enthusiasts to enjoy
  • Fujifilm added the command dial for better handling, responding to X-E4 user feedback
  • user feedback also led to a better grip and upgraded body finish
  • Rangefinder-style cameras appeal to those who value a discreet, immersive, and deliberate shooting experience. That’s why Fujifilm believes the X-E5 lets photographers truly enjoy the process of image-making
  • Fujifilm constantly assess which features work well to consider them for other models
  • higher resolution enhances creative options through cropping and gets the most out of X Series lenses
  • XF23mmF2.8 is the result of a public survey that Fujifilm launched
  • it made sense to announce the XF23mmF2.8 along with the X-E5
  • X-Pro remains on the roadmap (admin note: but not for 2025)
  • a dedicated camera makes you more deliberate. It shifts you from reacting to actively seeking moments—that’s what makes photography so fun and rewarding
  • technology evolves daily, so new devices drive big leaps. But firmware improvements and algorithm updates also matter, and Fujifilm will keep enhancing both current and future cameras

Oops, My Bad! Fujifilm X-E5 Has 3″ LCD (Not 3-Way Tilt) – And More Exclusive X-E5 Images Coming Soon!

The full specs of the Fujifilm X-E5 recently leaked, and as you can imagine, it’s been an intense time—lots of info to process all at once.

Amid this flood of details, I misread one spec that now needs correcting:
The Fujifilm X-E5 will feature a 3″ screen, not a 3-way tilt screen.

I’ve updated the full specs comparison accordingly, and it’s now 100% accurate.

Apologies for the mix-up… turns out I’m human too 😅

But hey—how about I make it up to you by sharing even more exclusive Fujifilm X-E5 images? Would that help smooth things over? ;)
