Fujifilm patents a 100mmF2 lens. If I deciphered correctly the google translated version, it will be a lens for a 1″ sensor camera (via egami):

“Fujifilm patent application of “corresponding to 1.2 100Mm F2 is an optical system. 1.2” I will be 270mm by 35mm Leica conversion and use a little bit in a small 1 “sensor from.”

So what, is Fuji going to ditch the 2/3 sensor camera line and make the upgrade to 1″ sensors? I’ll try to get an answer on this. But, quite frankly, given how compact APS-C cameras can be ([shoplink 48584 ebay]see the Fujifilm X70[/shoplink], which is significantly smaller than the X30 and not really that much bigger than the XQ2), I’m not sure it really makes sense for Fujifilm to invest into cameras that feature a sensor that is smaller than APS-C.

But that’s just my own two cents. I’d be curious to see what you guys think about it, so here is a Poll

A new Fuji X Era is Coming ;)

XF23mmF2 WR

There was a day, back in February 2016, where many of us started dreaming: it was the day, I’ve shared the first rumor about the XF23mmF2 WR. Well, it’s soon time to wake up, since Fujifilm is just about to announce it… precisely on the 25th of August 2016.

The Time? Well, usually Fujifilm announces new gear at around 06:00 or 07:00 AM Berlin Time, so around midnight or 01:00 AM New York Time.

Oh, and the XF23mmF2 WR won’t be the only X-gear that will be presented to the world on that day. In fact, on the 25th, we will also see the Fujifilm X-A3 (first rumors here).

So here is what we have to do:

1) You all now have to cancel any commitment you have for August 25 in order to follow the Live Blogging here on FR.
2) Stealthy Ninja should carefully read this and buy some of these.
3) It’s clear that, after the XF23mmF2 WR hits the market, X-shooters won’t need anything else anymore forever in their entire photography life. I’ll therefore close FujiRumors. Fellow X-shooters, it was an honour to have you on board and to share with you a short piece of our journey. May the focus be with you ;)
