Meet the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 PRO Autofocus Lens for Fujifilm X Mount – Coming Soon

It’s true, I’ve told you in a previous post that I am not sure I’d be able to report about it, since I am hiking on the Dolomites this weekend, sleeping in mountain huts and enjoying spectacular views.

But what Viltrox just dropped is worth to stop the hiking for a while, find a spot with decent 4G, and quickly report about it.

At Chinese photography fair, Viltrox has just displayed the new Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X Mount.

The images start to circulate on the Chinese social media platform Weibo and you can find all of them right here on FujiRumors.

  • has MF/AF switch
  • a silver “PRO” logo on the lens
  • coming 4th quarter of this year

And since we always quote the source, the original Chinese posts can be found at xjrumo here and MP不是MT啦 here and Camerabeta here.

Fujifilm X-H2: These are All the Rumored Specs (so far) and Some of Them Apply also to Fujifilm X-T5

For your convenience, here are all the rumored Fujifilm X-H2 specs available on the internet (and 100% of those rumored specs have been leaked by FujiRumors ;)).

Fujifilm X-H2

Keep in mind that, since it uses the exactly same body of it’s faster brother, the Fujifilm X-H2S, many specs not listed here can be figured out by looking at the X-H2S.

So for example we know it will take one CFexpress Type B and one UHS-II card, it will have a wonderful EVF, a PSAM dial, fully articulating screen and what more.

Also, it will obviously have the same AF tracking features of the Fujifilm X-H2S, so subject/animal tracking will also be on the X-H2.

The list above mainly focuses on the differences between the Fujifilm X-H2S and the Fujifilm X-H2.

And keep in mind, the X-H2 and X-T5 will share the same core specs (sensor and processor), so I’d not be surprised to see quite of those specs come also to the X-T5. For example, I’d expect the Fujifilm X-T5 to have base ISO 125, improved ISO performance and I hope also pixel shift and 8K video (although this is just a wish of mine, not at all a rumor, so please don’t sh*tstorm on me if the X-T5 does not have that).

In any case it is worth also for X-T line lovers to follow the X-H2 rumors, as the X-T5 might encapsulate lots (hopefull all) of the goodness the X-H2 will unveil on September 8.

Rumors and Discussions

Don’t Worry: Why Fujifilm X-H2 with ISO 125 Can’t Be Compared with ISO 125 on Sony, Canon and Nikon

When I shared the rumor of the Fujifilm X-H2 having base ISO125, there were complaints of people saying that other brands offer base ISO100 or even ISO64.

But maybe we should not moan (for now), and I will try to explain why.

CIPA, the technical association of the Japanese camera industry, introduced in 2006 two new measures of the sensitivity of a digital camera, recommended for use instead of the ISO speed rating. They are standard output sensitivity (SOS) and recommended exposure index (REI).

So two different standards: ISO SOS and ISO REI.

Companies like Canon, Sony and Nikon use REI standard, whereas companies like Fujifilm, Pentax and Olympus use SOS standard.

ISO SOS is considered more objective. ISO REI gives more “freedom” to the camera manufacturer (hence it is considered less objective).

Standard output sensitivity (SOS) is an objective measure defined in essentially the same fashion as ISO speed (for one of the two bases of ISO speed), but which normally will have a value about 0.71 of the ISO speed.

Recommended exposure index (REI) is the value the camera manufacturer recommends be used as the exposure index setting. It is not specified to be determined in any specific objective way, but may be chosen empirically to give what the manufacturer feels will be the best exposure results for most users in most cases*.

You can go through all the technicalities yourself in the document linked below.

But what it means in short is that you can’t really compare ISO125 on a Fujifilm camera with ISO125 on a Nikon/Canon/Sony camera.

Will ISO125 be more comparable to ISO64 on Nikon as some say in the comments here on FujiRumors?

Well, I don’t know that.

But what I know is that on September 8th at 2PM New York time we will know a lot more about how well ISO125 on the X-H2 performs (starting from the improved low/high ISO performance).

LEAKED: Fujifilm X-H2 Additional Video Specs: 4K/60P and 1080/120p (in addition to 8K/30p)

We already told you that the Fujifilm X-H2 will shoot 8K/30p video.

Here is an update regarding the video specs of the Fujifilm X-H2 and we are also going to compare them with the ones on the Fujiiflm X-H2S.

  • X-H2: 8K/30p
    X-H2S: no 8K
  • X-H2: 4K/60p
    X-H2S: 4K/120p
  • X-H2: 1080/120p
    X-H2S: 1080/240p

If you want the highest video resolution possible, you better go for the Fujifilm X-H2 with 8K video. But if slow motion or the least amount of rolling shutter possible is your priority, then it’s best to go with the Fujifilm X-H2S.

AstrHori 75mm f/4 for Fujifilm GFX Announced and More to Come

The AstrHori 75mm f/4 for Fujifilm GFX has now been officially announced and is available at AmazonUS here.

Interesting to note that despite being an f/4 lens, the unmarked point on the aperture actually indicates an f/2.8 maximum aperture. I don’t know the reason why it’s not marked f/2.8.

You can read more in the specs below (from the dedicated product page).

  • Excellent Optical Structure: The lens structure is 11 elements in 8 groups, which can satisfy the 100 million pixel body, and can cover 33*44 sensors, with excellent center image quality.
  • Unique Aperture Design: The aperture range is F4-16, and there is an unmarked reserved yellow point F2.8 large aperture,which can be adjusted by yourself to create more shooting possibilities. It not only has high optical quality and good depth of field control, but also has a certain blurring ability, which can better highlight the subject.
  • Excellent in-focus High Resolution Performance: This lens with 9 aperture blades and good build quality,and its minimum focusing distance is 0.82m,which provides sharp images at 0.82m and infinity with a natural center-to-edge transition.And this lens has an optical and two high-refractive glass quality,and ED lenses suppress chromatic dispersion for a high level of image clarity across the entire frame.
  • Exquisite Workmanship and Compact: It has a special appearance design,the details such as paint filling process, yellow paint characters, focus ring hob pattern, etc. make the lens look exquisite, the overall coordination with the Fuji GFX body and the focusing process also more comfortable.
  • High Quality Manual Lens: Its size is about Φ75mm*L76mm, the filter size is 67mm, and the weight is about 634.5g. It is very suitable for portrait street shooting, and compatible with FUJIFILM GFX50SII, GFX100, GFX100 IR ver,GFX50S, GFX50R, GFX100S,etc. Note:Due to the special design, the lens hood must be installed before the filter is installed, and an additional lens hood is shipped with each lens (Not in the same package as the lens & No additional order is required).
