First Fujifilm X-T4 Silver Kits No Longer Available at Some Stores

The Fujifilm X-T4 in silver and combined with the XF18-55mm is now no longer available at Adorama here.

You can still find this combo at BHphoto here and AmazonUS here.

So what is going on?

Well, maybe it is about to suffer the same faith of the silver Fujifilm X-T3, which is no longer produced in silver.

And to be clear: this does not mean that Fujifilm is discontinuing the Fujifilm X-T4 and that a Fujifilm X-T5 is coming in May at the Fujifilm X Summit (I mean, I don’t know if it is coming in May. So far I only hear of the Fujifilm X-H2 coming in May).

So, don’t panic. The Fujifilm X-T4 is still being manufactured. But if you prefer the silver version, maybe it might be a good thing to buy it sooner rather than later. I expect the first silver kit versions to slowly run out of stock and being discontinued in the next few weeks over several stores.

A move that aligns Fujifilm with other brands, who in most cases don’t offer color variations in their mid and higher end camera range.

Meet the Fujifilm TX-3 XPan Digital Camera (Concept)

One of the most read articles back in 2020 here on FujiRumors was the guest post titled “The X-Pan Rebirth of Fujifilm X-Pro1“, where a reader modified his X-Pro1 into an X-Pan digital camera.

And every now and then the wish of a digital Fujifilm X-Pan camera surfaces again in the Fujifilm community such as here, here and here.

Well, today we have another request for a Fujifilm X-Pan camera coming from Pavel and shared over at his youtube channel SuperSuperka (video below).

He so severely wants a digital XPan Fujifilm camera, that he made a very nice rendering on how he imagines it to be.

He called his rendered X-Pan camera the Fujifilm TX-3, of course inspired by what Jonas Rask called “the most beautiful camera ever created“, the Fujifilm TX-1. He wrote me:

Some notes about the concept. It has GFX sensor cut in half, which gives just perfect match to Xpan proportions
Logarithmic response pixels are not commonly used, but are used in technical tasks. What they can do is to not mimic film but to have native film-like look.
Arca-swiss is the bottom of the body. No additional plates needed. OVF with phase-detect autofocus.
I used 28mm which with this sensor is a bit wider FOV then original 45mm on Xpan. Like, say, 40mm on Xpan.

Quite frankly, at this point, if Fujifilm was to adventure itself in a crafting a unique niche digital camera, then I’d personally find a digital X-Pan much more appealing over let’s say a monochrome Fujifilm X camera.

Tokina to Increase Price on Fujifilm X Mount Autofocus Lenses Starting April 8

Given the times we live in, I can’t say this comes surprising.

Tokina has announced it will increase prices on its products on April 8. Affected products include also the Tokina Fujifilm X mount autofocus lenses.

As you can see below, price will increase by 12% to 14%.

I have no rumors about it, but I would not be surprised if Fujifilm itself would be forced to raise prices too in future on some of its products.
