Fujifilm 2019 Predictions
It’s time for gear predictions!
Techradar started here, by predicting the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and maybe also the Fujifilm X100F successor in 2019.
Now it’s time for Tony and Chelsea Northrup to predict new gear.
Tony says he noticed a trend at Fujifilm, which is making full frame equivalent fast lenses (XF200mmF2, XF8-16mmF2.8, XF33mmF1.0). Hence, according to his predictions, Fujifilm will launch:
- Fujinon XF 400mm f/2.8 (your second most wanted long lens according to our poll here)
- Fujinon XF 16-55mm f/1.8
- Fujinon XF 50-120mm f/1.8
- Fujinon XF 70mm f/1.0
- Fujinon XF 16mm f/1.0
Over a year ago, I told you that Fujifilm will NOT launch more than 2/3 X and 2/3 GF lenses a year (at least not until they finish to expand their lens factories).
And since Fujifilm already has 2 lenses scheduled for this year (the XF16mmF2.8 and XF16-80mmF4), I’d not expect more than 1 “surprise” lens to come (if any).
