Images of the upcoming Samyang Cine lenses have now been leaked by nokishita here. All image down below. They will be available in Canon EF, Canon RF, Canon EF-M, Sony E, Nikon F, MFT and also at Fujifilm X mount.
Samyang/Rokinon already has a decent cine lens offering for Fujifilm X Mount, which you can check out at BHphoto.
There are many ways to define what I am going to write about today: a wish, a dream, an idea… or just simply delirium!
A delirium, that was born during a very hot and sleepless summer night, as if somebody would have filled my room with overheating Canon EOS R5 cameras.
So I did pass the extra time my insomnia decided to donate me by thinking at the most fun thing I can think of: gear! ;)
And especially one thought was tormenting me: full frame!
Why?
Well, because, despite Fujifilm being used by tons of professional photographers, despite winning the most prestigious awards and hence despite being proven by reality that you can get any job done perfectly with Fujifilm cameras, I did stumble on yet another influencer’s youtube video, who repeated the usual marketing phrase, that only full frame is really for professional use.
Now, if you take all images that influencer ever shot in his life, he would not reach 1/10th of the beauty of one single Fujifilm image that won the World Press Photo award, but you know, these days having tons of followers makes you more credible in the eyes of people than actually having no followers, but a stunning portfolio and a list of prestigious photography awards.
Hence, despite me being one of those guys, who couldn’t care less about Fujifilm going full frame, I did catch myself thinking at Fujifilm and full frame in my hot sleeping room.
The question: how could Fujifilm go full frame?
X Mount Full Frame
UPDATE: the video live stream has been interrupted
Youtuber John Branch has a live stream now, where he said the images were taken with a lens he can’t talk about. The samples look stunningly creamy and have all the pop you can desire ;).
Turns out that, when he scrolled over his images, the metadata shows “Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 R WR”.
Looks like the beta testing phase has started. And no wonder, as Fujifilm promised this lens to come within 2020.
FujiRumors has already leaked the estimated price, which you can find here.
The live stream can be found below.

Last year Sirui launched the Sirui 50mm f/1.8 anamorphic lens 1.33x on Indiegogo (also for Fujifilm X mount). The lens is now in stock everywhere, for example at BHphoto here.
The next one is the Sirui 35mm f/1.8 1.33x anamorphic lens. The Indiegogo campaign started already.
And now the bad news: the Sirui 35mm f/1.8 is not available for Fujifilm X mount.
When asked about it, Sirui answered (screenshots below):
We want to cover as many mounts as we can so we use adapters but MFT mount size are nearly same with X mount, so not possible to make a X adapter […] MFT mount and X mount are with same size, can’t make adapter.
The good news: Sirui wanted to reassure Fujifilm X shooters and added:
More new lenses for x mount are coming in the near future
The more, the merrier!
Tell me, what would be the fun, if Fujifilm would just release what we customers expect? No fun at all, right?
So Fujifilm decided to surprise us and give us something unexpected ;).
But I invite you to read carefully to avoid misunderstandings!
A few months ago here, we told you that Fujifilm will release two mid-range cameras within the end of the Japanese fiscal year (March 2021). Of course if COVID-19 does not force Fujifilm to change plans again.
Now here is the thing.
When FujiRumors shared that rumor, 99% of you guys said “easy, those must be the long awaited X-T40 and the revived X-E4.”
Well, not really.
I can tell you today, that one of those two cameras will be a new mid-range camera line, hence not a direct successor to the Fujifilm X-T30 or Fujifilm X-E3. It’s something different.
And to be clear: there will be two mid-range cameras. This means, besides this new camera we rumor today, there will be another one, which could be a refresh of something we already know, or Fujifilm could surprise us also with the second one.
Hence, in terms of mid-range cameras, here is what we can expect in the next few months:
And now have fun speculating on what it could be in the comments (although I am pretty sure that nobody of you will make the right guess ;) )
Now that the I am on holiday from my teaching job and I am back from my 2 weeks trip in South Italy, I am working on this and many (!!!) more rumors. The right time to drop the rumors will come, and when it happens, make sure to be instantly notified by following FR on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.
Take care guys, and have a fantastic day ahead!
