The price and the first images of the Fujinon XF 200mm F2 and XF 8-16mm F2.8 have been leaked by nokishita.
In British pounds the lenses will cost:
XF 200mm F2 with new 1.4x Teleconerter – £5,399. ($7,000)
XF 8-16mm F2.8 – £1,799 ($2,332)
And how much in US Dollar $$$?
In UK, the XF 8-16mm F2.8 will be £100 ($130) cheaper than the XF100-400, which is sold in USA for $1,899. So maybe we will get for about $1,799 in USA?
Also, as we told you back in March, the XF200mm F2 won’t be black as displayed by Fujifilm at every photography fair, but white/light silver.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Both lenses will be announced in July… just stay tuned on FujiRumors, and you will get the live blogging 0,001 seconds after the announcements.

This, my friends, it’s just the beginning of surprising summer with heavy rumor storms ;)
The brown Fujifilm X-E3 has been listed a few days ago at Fujifilm Canada here. Thanks to these images, we can see for the first time how it the backside looks.
In my eyes, the Fujifilm X-E3 looks so good, that it would cut a fine figure in every color. But I still prefer the black or silver versions, though.
Follow my Travel through South Europe on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Mostly unedited JPEGs will be shared in the road, due to limited time because of the massive blogging and announcements. RAW files to be edited after the travel and the announcements

Confused by all the rumors? Then let’s put some order into the big buzz :)
So first I’ll give you an accurate timeline and then, down below, the detailed rumors with reliabily rating and working link to every single rumor.
Also consider…. we are working on Fujifilm X-Pro3, X200 and all other rumors, but we will share only once we have something more reliable in our hands. Hence, don’t panic if you don’t see your dream camera listed below. It does not necessarily mean it won’t come, but only that for now we have no solid rumor about it share.
Well, here is what happened after I asked you suggestions:
over 900 of you guys dropped a couple of thousands of suggestions in the comments – see here
I segregated myself in my room for a couple of days, read all your suggestions for countless hours and finally summed them all up into 30 lenses – see here
It was a terrific work not only for me, but also for you guys, since you invested lots of time to discuss, recommend, argue, in order to help me to make the best list possible.
And now all we can do is hope… hope that Fujifilm listens.
So which are actually the most wanted lenses by the Fujifilm community? The answer is… here!
… but here on FujiRumors we do not make up rumors, or keep up regurgitating old ones, just to have something online.
If you decide to invest your time on FujiRumors, then it must be time well spent, hence we only share rumors when we have fresh ones.
This is why sometimes you might have to wait a few weeks before brand new rumors will be published, but it seems that your waiting is over, since I expect a wave of rumors coming.
According to our trusted sources, the Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 and Fujinon XF 200mm f/2 will be announced in July.
As we already told you months ago, the XF 200mm f/2 will come with the new 1.4x teleconverter, since current teleconverters only perform well down to f/2.8, but not f/2.
ZedProMedia compared the old Fujifilm X-H1 fimrware ver.1.02 with the brand new firmware 1.10, also using a Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 lens with Fringer smart adapter
He notices that:
the AF improvement during video recording is massively improved with lenses like the XF56mmF1.2 and better also with XF10-24. Smooth and accurate AF.
“I was super close switching to Sony … I couldn’t use the X-H1 on a gimbal with AF. Had to use my X-T2s […] Now I can sell my X-T2s finally and buy a second X-H1 ?”
It does look blazing fast indeed… and if it’s too fast and not smooth enough, you can set the a different AF transition speed :) .
Here is some more firmware feedback, but it’s still from the previous firmware version (X-T2 ver. 4.00 and X-H1 ver. 1.02). The current versions are 4.10 for the X-T2 and 1.10 for the X-H1.
Yes I know, here on FujiRumors we already told you about the Fujifilm XF10, a camera, similar in size to the X70, and yet it can’t be considered an XF10 successor, because it has no X-Trans sensor and especially because it has not a Selfie Screen.
Considering the XF10 without Selfie screen a successor to the X70 would be like considering the X-Pro3 without hybrid viewfinder a successor to the X-Pro2.
And indeed, the fact that Fujifilm decided to give the camera an all new name and not X70s or X80, is indication that Fujifilm itself won’t market it as a real X70 successor.
I am sorry guys… for as much love I have for Fujifilm, I simply can’t understand this camera.
And since I am not at all part of Fuji’s marketing machine, but I write what I want when I want with the same freedom of when I started this blog 6+ years ago, I will use my freedom to criticise the XF10.
However, even though I am on holidays, I will live blog on July 5th to cover the Fujifilm XF10 launch.
Fujifilm X80
The only worthy successor to the X70 should be called X70s or X80.
At this stage, I have no information if Fujifilm has plans to make an X80 or not. But there are people, who certainly hope it will see the light of the day, such as Kevin Mullins.
After seriously damaging his Fujifilm X70, a camera that Kevin Mullins really likes and uses also for his pro work at weddings, Kevin started crossing his fingers for an X80.
He shared a video on his youtube channel here explaining why he needs an X80 and what improvements he would like to see over the X70, as well as a blog post at f.16 click, where he shares lots of beautiful images taken with his X70.
Of course Kevin needs the selfie screen, actually he even wants a fully articulating one.
Kevin Mullins shared another X70 video here: People Watching at Cheltenham Races 2018 with my Fuji X70
Self Scratched X70
And while Kevin Mullins accidentally damaged his X70, there are people out there, who like the extra vintage look of scratched X70 and intentionally damage their X70, such as FujiGlitch at our forum here.
