Clarifying Why Some Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR Come with Lens Hood and Others Not

There is a bit of confusion going on, and quite frankly also some undeserved sh*tstorm on Fujifilm.

So let me clarify.

Along with the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR, Fujifilm also released a new LH-XF27 lens hood and the LHCP-27 lens hood cap.

Here is the thing:

When unboxing their new XF27mmF2.8 R WR, some FR-readers noticed that the LH-XF27 and the LHCP-27 are included in the box, while others did not get these accessories along with their new lens.

The reason for this is simple:

If you bought the XF27mmF2.8 R WR only, then you’ll get the LH-XF27 and the LHCP-27 included with your purchase. If you got it bundled with the Fujifilm X-E4, then the LH-XF27 and LHCP-27 are not included.

This confused some X shooters and others also got quite frustrated about it and dropped angry one star reviews on this lens complaining about it.

But while I understand the confusion, I can’t comprehend such heated spirits and certainly it’s an overkill to give the lens a 1 star review for that.

Why?

Because the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR costs $400 if purchased alone. But if you grab it with X-E4, then you’ll get the XF27mmF2.8 R WR for only $200 on top of the X-E4 body only price.

So yep, you save $200 if you buy the XF27MKII with X-E4.

In the light of the $200 saved, it should not break the bank to pay the few bucks it needs to get both these accessories separately.

Yes, sure, it wouldn’t have broken Fuji’s bank either to just include these accessories also when bundled with the X-E4. But given the $200 rebate on the lens, if you grab it with the X-E4, customers will still make a hell of a deal.

Fujifilm X-T4 Firmware 1.20 Released

Fujifilm has finally released the Fujifilm X-T4 firmware 1.40 that the Fuji Guys inadvertently leaked last week.

A new firmware for Fujifilm X-H1 should be released shortly, too. It fixes an annyoing IBIS bug when the X-H1 is used with the brand new Fujinon XF70-300mmF4-5.6.

Also, recently Fujifilm released firmware updates for Fujifilm X-T3, GFX50S and GFX50R as well as for X-E4, X-S10 and X-A7.

Down below the full details for X-T4 firmware 1.20.

POLL: Which Fujifilm System Do You Own?

The Fujifilm team in Japan paid me a few hundreds of bucks to conduct a marketing research among their largest online community, the FujiRumors fellowship, aimed to investigate how many of you actually shoot X series or GFX series.

Just kidding :)

I’ve never received nor will ever receive a single penny from Fujifilm, so rest assured that FujiRumors is and will remain a space 100% independent from Fujifilm.

The true reason for the survey today, is just to satisfy a very personal curiosity.

I wondered how many of you guys own X series cameras and how many own GFX. Or maybe you chose to do it like me, and just own both system (I am waiting for my GFX100S to come). Some might even shoot Fuji + another brand. Whatever it is, feel free to vote the survey down below.

Because I have the impression things might have changed quite a bit compared to January 2019, when I made a similar survey and it turned out that only 3% of FR-readers actually owned a GFX camera.

But maybe I am wrong with my impression. The survey below will show that.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you pre-ordered the GFX100S as your first GFX camera, and just did not get it shipped yet, you can drop your vote as GFX owner.

I currently own the following systems.... (NOTE: GFX100S pre-orders qualify as "GFX Owner")

CONFIRMED: Registered FF210001 Camera is the Fujifilm GFX50S MKII and Release Date Speculations

Yesterday we told you that Fujifilm will launch the Fujifilm GFX50S MKII in 2021.

But when exactly will it hit the market?

Well, I don’t know that yet.

However, our sources told us that the FF210001 camera recently registered is the codename for the Fujifilm GFX50S MKII and not any other X or GFX camera.

Now, looking at the past time gap between past registrations and release, Fujifilm needed between 1 to 6 months to announce new gear.

If (and that’s a big “if“) Fujifilm keeps the same pace, this means that the Fujifilm GFX50S MKII could be announced as early as April 2021 or latest in late August / early September.

Fujifilm Announces Delivery Delays for Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR Due to High Demand

Guys, I told you to wait and pre-order the new XF27mmF2.8 R WR only AFTER I got my copy. But apparently you didn’t listen to me, tons of you pre-ordered it, and now I have to wait even longer for my Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR!

In fact, Fujifilm has just announced that the demand for Fuji’s little gem, the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR is higher than they expected causing delivery delays all over the globe.

I mean, I can patiently wait for the Fujifilm GFX100S I just pre-ordered, but I can’t wait for the XF27mmF2.8 R WR and my plan was to grab one as soon as stores open again and I can leave my locked down village. But now I am afraid my local store won’t have any XF27mmF2.8 R WR for a while.

What a bad way to start the day. Well, at least I got the COVID vaccine today.
