Friidesign Trilens for Fujifilm X Available

Back in August we reported about the Friidesign Trilens for Fujifilm X.

Now a limited number is available at the Friidesign Trilens page here.

We’re currently shipping a small batch of Fuji mount TriLens™ before Christmas. This batch is limited and will resupply in the beginning of 2020.

A similar product for Fujifilm X is already offered by Fotodiox. It’s the Fotodiox Pro lens cycler with mounts for 2x Fujifilm X series lenses. But that one holds only 2 lenses, and not 3.

Friidesign Trilens for Fujifilm X Coming in About One Month + Fotodiox Pro Lens Cycler for 2 Fuji X Lenses Available

FR reader Jan (thanks) just informed me that Friidesign trilens for Fujifilm X mount is coming in about one month.

What is the Friidesign trilens? Well, the image above is quite self-explanatory. In short: if you also think changing lenses sucks, than you might be interested in the trilens (see video below).

So, if you are the guy, who needs to change lenses often, this could be an interesting solution.

FUJIFILM X AF Lenses: SIGMA Needs Bigger Market Share, TOKINA Designed X Glass Already but Stopped by Royalties, TAMRON is Vague

I have received a rumor by a new source (thanks) regarding Sigma, Tamron and Tokina lenses for Fujifilm X mount.

  1. Sigma: it depends on Fuji’s market share (we already shared the rumor here)
  2. Tamron gave vague answers to our source (there were rumors of  Fuji support in the past)
  3. Tokina has actually started to design some lenses for Fujifilm already, but they don’t finalize and launch them because of royalties they have to pay to Fujifilm

Of course take it with a grain of salt for now, and if I get any updates, you will read them here on FujiRumors.

But I just remembered, what top Fujifilm manager Toshi said, when DPR asked him here, if Fujifilm welcomes glass by third-party lens manufacturers:

They’re not open standards as yet, but of course our customers want choice. We’re always considering what would benefit our customers, and more lenses are generally beneficial for customers.

Dear Fujifilm, your Fujinon glass is nothing but amazing, but we indeed want more options, and if it’s true that some kind of protectionism is holding off some third-party manufacturers to launch autofocus glass for Fujifilm, then please change your policy.

With that said, we are in the world of “grain of salt” with this rumor for now ;).

But if somebody out there has some knowledge to share, feel free to contact me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com or via anonymous rumor box (use a nick-name if you want, so that I can recognize you if in future you decide to share something else).

First Image (and Video) of X-Mount Fujinon MK 18-55 mounted on Fujifilm X-T2 (Prototype) + Interview With Fujifilm Manager

Fujinon MK 18-55 T2.9 Fuji X-mount – Newsshooter at NAB 2017 from Newsshooter on Vimeo.

Fujifilm already said in this official press release, that the X-mount versions of the MK18-55mm T2.9 and MK50-130mm T2.9 will come in late 2017.

An anonymous source now send me the first image of a MK18-55mm T2.9 X-mount prototype mounted on the Fujifilm X-T2 (thanks a lot).

If you want to see, how Fujifilm’s MK lenses are manufactured (and also other X-mount lenses and cameras), feel free to check out this article about the Fujifilm factory tour.

UPDATE: Interview with Fujifilm Manager about the MK lenses. They talk about and show also the Fujifilm X-mount version. The manager says that the price can’t be very different from the E-mount version and that they try to come out with X-mount version within this year (2017). More at newsshooter (thanks to the FR-reader for sharing the link in the comments).
