With all the talk about the Fujifilm X100VI in these days, we can now report also something interesting for those of you, who are not into the X100 line (thanks to Mistral!).
In a session with journalists, Fujifilm shared 10 lenses that were “under study” and also talked about future X/GFX cameras, as reported by the French website lesnumeriques here, who also is to credit for the images.
10 Lenses “Under Study”
(Images at the Top of the Article)
Fujifilm did display 10 lenses currently “under study” by Fujifilm. But please guys, don’t take this as any sort of “roadmap”, for the reasons I’ll explain below.
Super-Telephoto Prime lens XF 400mm or longer
– 100-110mm diameter
– 240-280 length
– weight 1,300-1,400g
XF120mmF2 (in between XF90mmF2 and XF200mmF2) – Size 140-160mm
– 90-110mm diameter
– 900-1,000g
Super Wide-angle Fast Lens for Astro Photography
– Size 80-100mm
– 70-80mm diameter
– weight 400-600g
It’s not the first time that Fujiflm gave us a list of “lenses under study“. It happened also back in 2019, when they even wanted us to vote on those lenses (as they wanted the journalists to vote on the lenses we display today). And if we look at the list, except for some MKII lenses, not much on that list ever materialized in a real product.
So don’t take it as a solid indication on anything.
But after I’ve shared the rumor, I have noticed some misunderstandings. So let me address those first, and then we’ll talk about each of the three cameras
But I didn’t mean to say that all we get in 2024 are these three cameras, and all of them will come in the first half of 2024 (as I see reported around on Forums etc).
I was referring to the fact that initially we told you that there will be “3 or more cameras” coming in first half 2024, and now we can be more specific and confirm that the number of cameras will be 3.
So to be clear I want to remark: I don’t know how many cameras will be launched in the entire year 2024. What I know so far is that there will be 3 cameras in the first half (the replacements of these models), and there will be potentially more cameras in the second half of 2024. But so far I have no rumors about it.
So there is still the second half of 2024 where Fujifilm could have potentially lots of time to please us with much more gear.
And I promise that after the imminent X100VI-centric X Summit I will try to find out more about it.
To Readers: A few hours ago I received a message from an anonymous source. It came to me via rumor box, so I have no idea, who it is and how to contact it. My only way to contact the source is via FujiRumors. I hope you don’t mind, but making a public post is the only way to reach out to the source.
I know these article are not very appreciated by you. But if this article works, then soon we could have even more leaks. So I hope articles like this (which happen maybe 3 times a year) are an acceptable compromise for you.
UPDATE To the SOURCE NR 2.
Just received another message (from another source??). You can resend. No problem. I will handle the information exactly as you ask me to do. And thanks for the Nickname!
TO THE SOURCE Nr.1
First of all, thanks for contacting me. I just wanted to tell you that I do not have the material you told me you have. Which is why you definitely triggered my rumor-radars :).
If you want, you can send it to me (and tell me how to handle it).
You should be able to upload material directly via rumor box.
contact me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com (you can use a fake email if you want, but after 11+ years of rumor-blogging, I can guarantee you that you’ll remain 100% anonymous also if you’d decide to use your regular email)
