Fujifilm has released firmware updates for plenty of lenses that will make the autofocus more silent, the aperture operate smoother and also give better tracking performance while zooming.
That’s a very nice upgrade especially for video shooters.
Not all lenses will get all these three updates. You can find the full detailed list below.
Fujifilm has just launched new deals on X and GFX gear in USA.
The amazing deal on the XF56mmF1.2 is making the lens run out of stock quickly at many places. It is discontinued at BHphoto here and backordered at many other stores.

NOTE: The deals run also in Canada! Check Amazon Canada.

CineD had a talk with Tamron managers at the CP+in Japan.
The talk gravitates around the new Tamron 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD for Fujifilm X mount, which will come in Spring 2023.
The manager says:
Great interview. Just one comment from my side.
I rarely use f/4 on my XF10-24mmF4. I use it mainly for landscape and there I stop down anyway. And if I use it in low light, it’s on a tripod anyway (like in this shot in Prague). But that’s my use. I am well aware that for many others f/2.8 might be a big deal on a wide angle zoom.
Reviews of the Tamron 11-20mmF2.8 for Sony
Coming Spring 2023
It’s never easy to let go gear you used and loved a lot. Gear like my good old Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 R for example.
But now the time has come.
I’ve just received the new Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 R LM WR and I’ve explained the reason why I bought it here already.
I bought the lens at Amazon IT here, as they had a better price than my local store and are also qualified for the Fujifilm cashback.
Convincing my wife of this investment went like this:
This tells us one thing: photography is definitely an expensive hobby when you build up your system, but it gets much cheaper once you can fund new gear by selling old one.
But I don’t let go my good old Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 with a light heart, as I had many great moments with it. Let me name a few “episodes”.
Beating Sony ;)
I told you yesterday that Fujifilm launched US similar rebates also in Europe. One of the deals was a huge €300/£290 rebate on the Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R.
Well, that deal didn’t last 24 hours, as Fujifilm has decided to make it even better!
Now you save a crazy amount of €450 / £375 on the purchase of the Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R.
* if you are Italian and buy at Amazon Italy, make sure the lens is shipped and sold by Amazon in order to qualify for the cashback.
Down below are all the deals listed by country. I will include GER, UK and ITA, but it runs also in many other European countries.
At the bottom you’ll also find the links to the pages where you can submit your cashback claim.

Special Amazon Note:
You can purchase APS-C X gear also at Amazon ITA (if you are from Italy of course), but make sure it is shipped and sold directly from Amazon to qualify for the cashback. GFX gear instead can’t be purchased at Amazon ITA if you want the cashback.

FR-reader Ralf informed us about upcoming cashback deals coming to Europe that are mirroring those already available in the United States of America.
Here is the list of savings available starting from February 16 in Germany (and very likely in many other European countries too).
On February 16 I will pay a visit to my local store to get the Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 R LM WR ;).
