SG-image AF 25mm F1.8 for Fujfilm X Coming Soon

Late last year SG-image launched their first autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount, the SG-image AF 55mm f/1.8.

Now they will soon expand their offering by launching the SG-image AF 25mm F1.8.

Some specs as shared by the Chinese weibo account 独立摄影师联合会 here.

  • 32mm long
  • close focus 0.3 meters
  • 145 gram weight

Just another lens from China without aperture ring… exactly what we needed ;). But hey, at least it comes with some fancy colors.

Meet the Fujifilm X-Half – Fujifilm’s Upcoming Digital Half Frame Camera

When I first shared rumors about a 1″ inch sensor Fujifilm half frame camera coming, plenty of readers attacked me saying I mislead people by calling it a half frame camera.

The logic: it’s just a regular 1″ sensor, so it is not a proper half frame camera.

But…

… if the fact that it has a vertical LCD

… and the fact that it is intended to mainly create diptych images

… is not enough

… then here is another hint…

… the name of the camera will be Fujifilm X-Half.

I guess Fujifilm won’t call it “X-Half” because it is half as big as a Fujifilm GFX100RF.

My humble guess is that it will carry the name “X-Half” because Fujifilm will market it as a half frame camera. And if we look at how it works, then this might even make sense.

LEAKED: First Image of Fujifilm Half Frame Camera

What you see above is the first image of the Fujifilm Half Frame camera. I have received it via email a few hours ago.

We can see an exposure compensation dial, an optical viewfinder and f/2.4 maximum aperture.

The look resembles the one of the Leica M cameras.

The specs so far:

Wouldn’t it be nice if this was a proper Fujifilm X30 successor called Fujifilm X40 or Fujifilm X50, with a 1″ X-Trans sensor?
