Fujifilm Announcements: X Summit BKK on May 24, New Firmware for 12 XF/GF Lenses and FujiKina on May 27

Fujifilm has released a video where they finally announce what FujiRumors is telling you since a weeks: there is no Fujifilm X Summit in April, but it will take place on May 24 (as we told you) in Bangkok. Fujikina will take place on May 27 also in Bangkok.

This is what they say in the video.

  • they talk about the new firmware updates for X-H2 and X-H2s (Frame.io integration)
  • they announce new firmware for XF/GF lenses that reduces focusing noise with certain linear motor AF lenses, smoother aperture operation and improved focus tracking performance during zooming
  • GFX Grant Challenge program updates
  • Fujifilm X Summit in Bangkok announced for May 24
  • Fujikina Bangkok on May 27

FujiRumors has so far rumored two cameras and one lens.

Maybe some of this (or something else) will drop on May 24.

LEAKED: First Images of Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 PRO XF (vs Viltrox 75mm f/1.2)

When Viltrox announced they’d launch the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 Pro AF X mount lens in Q2 of 2023, you guys asked me especially one question: how big will this lens be?

So I did what I have to do: try to answer your questions.

And today we can give you a very accurate answer: we can share the very first images of the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 XF Pro autofocus lens.

And not only that, we can also share them side by side with the new Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 PRO XF lens.

Look, I am huge fan of the 27mm APS-C focal length and I own this 27mm XF lens as well as this 27mm X mount lens already.

But as much as I love the pancake size and the terrific portability of those lenses, I would love to have a very fast 27mm alternative to those lenses. And the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 seems to be just that.

Sure, it is not the smallest lens out there, but it is still smaller than the other PRO badged lens offers for the X mount, the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 XF PRO. And quite frankly, if it matches the price and performance of the 75mm f/1.2, then this lens is very high on my wishlist.

RUMOR: Fujifilm GFX100 Replacement is Next GFX Camera coming in 2023 (Trusted Source)

The Rumor

Many asked me if a new Fujifilm GFX camera would come in 2023.

Well, yes, definitely!

In fact, trusted sources (THANKS) told us that the next Fujifilm GFX camera to come will be the replacement to the Fujifilm GFX100.

So, not the replacement to GFX100S, or the GFX50R or anything else. What we will get is the successor to the Fujifilm GFX100.

That’s 100% sure and solid!

You know I’d never trick you with fake rumors to make traffic. I simply respect you guys too much to do that.

The GFX100

The Fujifilm GFX100 was launched back in 2019 and it was definitely revolutionary for its time, with a backside illuminated 102 megapixel sensor and IBIS, giving medium format speed and flexibility unseen until then in the digital medium format world.

I did go hands on with the Fujifilm GFX100, but these are the three main reasons I did not buy it:

  1. too expensive
  2. too big
  3. I didn’t find it intuitive to use. I much prefer Fujifilm cameras with dedicated dials or at least dedicated PSAM dial.

Fujifilm fixed all these three issues two years later with the Fujifilm GFX100S, a camera that I now own and enjoy using especially for landscape photography but also to document family life.

Personally I’d have looked more forward to a Fujifilm GFX100S with 5th generation goodness or a GFX100R. But I know also the Fujifilm GFX100 has its loyal fellowship and I am working on all the details.

So definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors if you want to know more about it.
