Hm… I must admit, after an extremely busy summer with 170 articles and rumors written in the last 68 days (as well as thousands of emails), I feel just a little bit worn out ;) .
But don’t worry, a dangerous mix of excitement and coffee is pushing me towards the grand final, on September 7, when we will officially see…
Fujifilm X-E3
Fujinon XF 80mm F2.8 Macro
Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8
new lens roadmaps
new firmware updates
I don’t expect more, but hey, it’s Fujifilm, so surprises are still possible… with the X-T2S high on the “surprise list”.
However, I owe you still the time, so here it is:
Fujifilm will announce it all at 02:00 AM New York time (08:00 AM Berlin Time).
Regular FujiRumors won’t be surprised, since we leaked the X-E3 specs already. But it’s great to have confirmation from Japan, as usual nokishita.
On Twitter, nokishita also mentions:
“With a new product is released new firmware on X and G mounting new roadmap and X-series cameras also.”
Regarding the firmware, we already told you that the X-Pro2 for example will get 4K video and tethering.

When X – E 3 is a black body, the impression is quite different from silver body. XF 80 mm F 2.8 is expensive as a lens of this class, and the size seems to be large, but it seems that it can be expected for that much.
Also, as rumored, a new roadmap for X mounts is likely to be made public as well. I am also looking forward to the new lens roadmap of G mount.
In addition, since the above price is the price of a mass merchandise shop with points, it seems that at the lowest price store it will be cheaper by 10% than this.
The Fujinon XF 33mm F1.0, or as some of you guys call it here on FujiRumors, the “Full Frame Killer“, has such a long rumor story, that it’s better to make super-quick summary for all new FR-readers, before we move on to the next chapter.
If you’ve followed the 33/1 story since its start and are familiar with it, then scroll down to “The Hope” section.
I already told you here and here, that Fujifilm will launch a nice kaizen firmware update for the Fujifilm X-Pro2, which will bring, among the others, 4K video to Fuji’s rangefinder flagship.
Well, I hear tethering should also come to the Fujifilm X-Pro2 via firmware update :)
Good times are coming… stay tuned on FujiRumors via Facebook, RSS-feed andTwitter… the party is on September 7… and I’m ready for non stop live blogging session here on FujiRumors :)
