BREAKING: Fujifilm Working on MKII Version of This Lens!

This is probably one of the most exciting rumors of the year. At least for me, but I guess also for many of you.

Are you read for it?

Well, then have fun reading the rumor below.

Because I know many of you are waiting for exactly this lens.

Why?

Because the original MKI version is certainly loved and used by many, but it starts to show its age.

And now that third parties entered with their own, similar offerings, it was time for Fujifilm to refresh it.

And they’ll do it!

Because according to our trusted sources (THANKS!!!), Fujifilm is working on the successor of the Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 lens.

The Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8, also called “the brick” among fellow X shooters, is a fantastic lens and a true workhorse for many fellow X shooters our there.

However, at this point in time it is also an older lens in Fujifilm’s lineup.

And given that there is strong competition now in that segment, see for example the Sigma 18-50mmF2.8, an update to the Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 is definitely not only welcome, but also needed.

Stay tuned on FujiRumors if you want to know more about it ;).
