EXCLUSIVE: Upcoming XF18-120mm will have Constant f/4 Aperture

Fujinon XF18-120mm f/4

Back at the Fujifilm X Summit in September 2021, Fujifilm made several announcement which included a new G mount lens roadmap as well as a new X mount lens roadmap.

The X roadmap included the XF18-120mm, which FujiRumors was able to compare in size to other Fujinon XF lenses thanks to the technical sketch Fujifilm gave us during the X summit.

The only hint Fujifilm gave us about this lens, is that it will be “great for stills and video” and that it will come in 2022.

What Fujifilm did not tell us, was how fast Fujifilm would make this lens.

Well, that mystery has now been solved by our top trusted sources, who told us that it will be a Fujinon XF18-120mm f/4 lens.

Take a deep breath guys, as you are now entering a rollercoaster of rumors ;).

Fujifilm X-H2 Concept Rendering

Fujifilm X-H2

There are some images of the Fujifilm X-H2 floating around on social media which are erroneously reported as the possibly first leaked images of the Fujifilm X-H2.

Well, here on FujiRumors we kept a cool head and did what we can do best: verify and check.

So it turns out that these are not leaked X-H2 images but renderings made by Fujifilm X shooter Steven.

And while not the real deal, Steven’s renderings could  be a nice way to start a discussion on how we’d like the Fujifilm X-H2 to be in terms of handling and ergonomics.

Which design choices made by Steven do you particularly like? And what other suggestions do you have? Feel free to contribute down below in the comments.

Steven shared his renderings on his instagram here and writes:

How do you think Fujifilm X-H2 would look like?

I imagine it would be a crossover between X-T4 and GFX 100s. As a video-centric camera, being in a less retro form factor makes sense. Adding more dials and buttons will be awesome too.

Also, it’s my first foray into 3D hard surface modeling, so it’s been quite a rough but fun ride.

Since X-H2 is going to be more video-centric, I figured the record button should be prominent, coupled with more function buttons around it. Or is it too many?

That rounded concave thing? It’s meant to be a joystick, so you can move the focus area without touching the LCD nor using the back joystick. That way your right hand doesn’t have to change position while holding the camera.

It would be awesome to have a screen with similar articulation as X-T100. That way the distance between the sub-monitor and the LCD screen is not far. I’m not smart enough to figure out how it works practically, but a man can dream hehe.

As far as solid Fujifilm X-H2 rumor goes, you can find the updated list down below.
