Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 DC ART Additional Specs … that Fujifilm Shooters Will LOVE

this is not the real lens but just a rendering

We have received additional specs about the upcoming Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 DC ART lens, which we remind you will be announced on June 17 along with the Sigma 12mmF1.4 as reported here.

The specs come from an anonymous source and no nickname has been shared in the message, but the way it was written I think it could come from the same anonymous source (with nickname), who shared the specs yesterday (and that source is accurate).

I share the rumor because I think it is the same source. But if that’s not the case, then I just published totally unverified rumor without any check from trusted sources. If that’s the case, take everything below with a grain of salt.

It’s now confirmed (THANKS), that the information comes from the same anonymous source with nickname, who has shared accurate information in the past.

In general a message to anyone: we also have a 100% anonymous Signal chat in which you can contact us.

  • Aperture ring, with de-click option
  • sealed against dust and splashes
  • Size: 115.9mm long, maximum diameter 72.9mm
  • 67mm filter
  • ⁠535 gram
  • Internal Zoom
  • uses aspherical elements made of SLD (Super Low Dispersion) glass
  • manufactured with advanced polishing technology to minimize chromatic aberration, flare, distortion
  • excellent sharpness from corner to corner already at f/1.8
  • HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) autofocus motor (fast, silent and accurate)
  • excellent control over focus breathing
  • announcement June 17
  • shipping in July

I guess Fujifilm shooters will love it that it has an aperture ring (at least so says the rumor).

Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC ART Specs Leaked – Internal Zoom and 535g Weight

this is not the real lens but just a rendering
this is not the real lens but just a rendering

A source—who contacts us anonymously but consistently uses a recognizable nickname, and who has shared accurate information in the past (THANK YOU)—has now passed along the main specs for the upcoming Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC ART:

  • uses aspherical elements made of SLD (Super Low Dispersion) glass
  • manufactured with advanced polishing technology to minimize chromatic aberration, flare, distortion
  • excellent sharpness from corner to corner already at f/1.8
  • HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) autofocus motor (fast, silent and accurate)
  • excellent control over focus breathing
  • Internal Zoom
  • weight: 535g

Now, Sigma made the Sigma 18–35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art for APS-C DSLR cameras (launched in 2013), but that one weights 810 grams. So there is a substantial weight reduction with the Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 DC ART, and it even has more range on both ends.

I guess that’s something we can really look forward to.

Fujifilm X-E5 with IBIS and 40 Megapixel – The Most Powerful X-E Ever… But at What Cost?

So, we have shared two crucial rumors regards the upcoming Fujifilm X-E5:

Now, every Fujifilm X-E camera launched so far had a price tag below 1K USD.

But this time it seems that Fujifilm has really packed all they can into the X-E5. And because of that, I think (not rumor) that we can forget it to cost 1K USD or less.

I know, I had 40MP and IBIS on my nice-to-have X-E5 wishlist. And I was aware that all this goodness would come at a price.

So personally I was be ready to pay more than 1K for the X-E5 with these features.

But what about you?

Would you consider buying the X-E5 only if it costs 1K or less?

Feel free to vote the survey:

Would You Still Buy the Fujifilm X-E5 If It Costs Over $1,000?

RUMOR: Fujifilm X-E5 IBIS Yes or No? – The Truth Revealed!

→ IBIS: Yes or No? This says it all :)

This is probably the question I have received most about the upcoming Fujifilm X-E5.

Will the Fujifilm X-E5 have IBIS?

And trust me, I feel the pressure to be absolutely right with this one.

So, while nothing is 100% sure in the rumor world, I’d say that I can now give you the answer with a 99% confidence.

Ready?

Some will be happy about it, others not. As always. But here is the answer.

The Fujifilm X Summit will take place June 12 at:

Fujifilm X-E5 with 40MP Sensor – A Good Move? VOTE NOW

We told you that the Fujifilm X-E5 will use the 40MP X-Trans V sensor.

Some rejoiced at this news (such as me), others instead would have preferred the 26MP sensor in combination with the X Processor 5 (like on the X-S20 and X-M5).

I think that for a photography first camera, 40MP is the best pick, whereas for a mid-range hybrid camera (such as the X-S20) 26MP makes more sense.

But let us know what you think by voting the survey down below.

RUMOR: This is the Sensor of the Fujifilm X-E5

→ in short: it’s the same sensor of this Fujifilm camera

One of the big questions I got recently was if the Fujifilm X-E5 will adopt the Fujifilm X-S20 solution (26MP + X Processor 5) or the X-T50 solution (40MP + X Processor 5).

And look, I know this is something I can’t get wrong, so I have waited to have mulitple confirmation from several trusted sources before sharing it.

Well, now I am confident enough to share it….

Fujifilm FY2024: Pro Imaging Revenue Up 21%, but Risks of $140M Loss due to U.S. Tariffs – Price Hikes and Product Strategy Change Likely

Once again Fujifilm has published very positive sales figures as far as their imaging division goes.

  • Professional Imaging: Revenue ¥50.1 billion (up 20.9% YoY)
  • Digital camera sales grew mainly in Europe, the U.S. and China
  • Robust sales of the four models launched last year — X100VI, GFX100S II, X-T50 and X-M5— boosted revenue.

However, things might go worst in 2025, with Fujifilm estimating an overall operating income loss of USD140 million. That’s a 6% loss on their overall estimated income for the fiscal year 2025.

The potential impact on the projected full-year operating income of ¥331.0 billion is estimated to be a negative USD 140 million as a baseline, with a fluctuation range of USD ±100 million, taking into account such measures as reevaluating our supply chain, further reducing costs, and restructuring our product and pricing strategies to minimize the impacts. Potential impacts from future tariff negotiations between the U.S. and other countries, as well as reduced product demand resulting from reciprocal tariff applications, are not included in this estimate due to the difficulty of making a reasonable assessment at this time.

Fujifilm is trying to respond in several ways to the new circumstances, including a “revised” product and pricing strategy. What they mean by that is I guess pretty obvious: increased pricing and delayed product launches (or no more product launches/shipments at all in USA).

For example, I’d not be surprised if the upcoming Fujifilm X Half would not be even sold in USA.

In response to the U.S. tariff policy, the Company will pay close attention to future dynamics and take swift and necessary measures — such as reviewing our supply chain, further reducing expenses, and revising our product and pricing strategies — to minimize any negative impact on the company-wide performance.

Look, Fujifilm as a company will survive this. I am not worried about them.

But I don’t know if all the smaller photography stores will be able to get through this uncertain and tough period. That’s what I worry about.

Fujifilm Europe Massive Sell Out of 5th Generation Cameras and Lots of XF/GF Lenses

Last week, Fujifilm UK launched significant rebates on nearly every 5th-generation X-Series camera—excluding the new X-M5 and the wildly popular X100VI. Now, the rest of Europe has followed suit, with similar discounts rolling out across the continent.

But keep in mind: rebates might vary by country, and even within the same market, prices can differ between retailers. The discounts listed here (in €) reflect current German store promotions, but your local deal might be slightly different.

And don’t forget to compare prices across multiple stores as there might be differences. For example:

You know why this is happening, right?

It’s all going to be impossible to sell once this beautiful camera is out ;).

  • ATTENTION 1: In Germany these are Cashback Deals
  • ATTENTION 2: AmazonDE is not listed among the authorized reseller for these particular cashback deals. However, I will list AmazonDE below, because in some cases they have better or same prices. Please compare prices. Fotokoch, Fotoerhardt and Calumet are all eligable for cashback.
