There Will NEVER be a Fujifilm X-T40, because it Will be Called Fujifilm X-T50 ;)

Most people and all websites are calling the successor to the Fujifilm X-T30II the “Fujifilm X-T40“.

However, according to our sources, there will be no Fujifilm X-T40, because the X-T30II successor will be called Fujifilm X-T50.

That makes sense to me, because it belongs to the 5th generation Fujifilm cameras (with 5th generation processor, AF goodness etc).

And yes, I know. The X-H2, X-H2S and X-S20 are also part of the 5th generation Fujifilm lineup, and yet they don’t feature the numeral “5” in their names. However, transitioning directly from X-H1/X-S10 to X-H5/X-S50 would likely have been too big of jump. In this case, it makes sense to maintain the “2” designation, indicating the second generation of this series.

So, from now, shall we call it the Fujifilm X-T50.

The Fujifilm X-T50 will be the next APS-C camera that Fujifilm will launch.

LEAKED: Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR Additional Images

There is this wonderful little lens in the Fujinon lineup that has brought huge joy to many of us (me included).

In fact, I’ve taken some of my all-time favourite images with it.

But it’s time for this lens to retire.

In fact, we have already shared that a replacement will come. And thanks to our sources we could also share the first leaked images a couple of months ago as well as some nice specs.

Of course we are talking about the new kit lens that is going to replace the glorious XF18-55: the Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8

Well, now we can leak a new set of images brought to us a source, who has shared accurate rumors in the past. (THANKS AGAIN!!!).

You can see the new images in this article below.

At the last X summit, Fujifilm did tease the lens, but did not share images nor specs. All they told is was that it will be “beyond the ordinary kit lens“. Certainly optically it will be superior to the XF18-55mm (and capable of resolving 40MP), but it will come also with features we usually find on higher end lenses, such as the internal zoom (that’s a rumor, Fujifilm has not disclosed this detail).

Remember:

New Viltrox Roadmap 2024 including New f/1.2 APS-C lens

Viltrox has shared an updated to their lens roadmap for 2024.

There are a couple of FF lenses on the roadmap and, more relevant for us, a new f/1.2 APS-C lens which will come in addition to the two f/1.2 lenses Viltrox already offers.

Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 LAB Should Come This Quarter also for Fujifilm X Mount says Viltrox

When Viltrox published their last roadmap, they told us which lenses would come for which mounts in 2024, except for one lens: the Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 LAB lens.

Viltrox did not specify on their roadmap for which mounts they plan to launch the Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 LAB.

But now, after sharing yet another image of the Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 LAB on their Chinese social media, when asked by users if they plan to release it also for X mount, Viltrox said this:

Usually it comes with Fuji mount.

This definitely makes hope we will get it also for X mount, but for I will formulate it more carefully and tell you that it “should” come, because the answer they gave was not a clear “yes” but a “usually it comes for Fuji X”. It’s possible also that something got lost in google translation, though, and that in original Chinese it is a more solid “yes”.

Viltrox has also been asked when it would  come, and they answered “this quarter”, as you can see from this screenshot. So that would mean the announcement should happen any day now.

The new Viltrox LAB series is said to become their new flagship series of lenses, optically superior even to their PRO series of lenses.
