google translated version of the patent

Extremely reputable Fujinon lens

Acquaintance had envious a Fujinon. One of the image quality evaluation is high reason of Fujinon, relatively huge optical system it is because has given to the APS-C. 35mm 1.5 times and do it at full size it will be size. Because does not change human use also changed the format size, small format is the easy to adopt a relatively large optical system.

35mm full-size mirror-less has been increasing. 35mm full size amount of blurring and high sensitivity and the number of pixels might be advantageous, but to but not less ponderous of AF, will be required bloated optical system and an attempt is resolved to the periphery. It might be a good even APS-C mirrorless has been reviewed.

F1.8 / F2 single-focus series

Patent applications of Fujifilm is an optical system of 16mm F1.8. XF 16mm F1.4 R WR because of the design, which was involved in image quality to correct the aberration optically, or would AF can be said to be somewhat sluggish. 16mm F1.8 of the patent application does not undertake any optical correction of easy distortion and chromatic aberration of magnification and digital correction, it is an excellent lens in harmony with the digital.

Fujifilm XF 80mm Macro Currently Planed without OIS! – Design not Final yet

8-16

I told you back here, that Fuji will make an XF80mm macro lens instead of the 120mm (that is currently still listed in the roadmap).

Well, according to a trusted FR-source, at the current stage, Fujifilm does not plan to add OIS (optical image stabilization) to the 80mm. The source adds however, that the design is not final yet.

I’m aware that every long-term rumor I share (like the X-Pro1s (see official protoype), X70 in 2013 and much more) that was actually correct at the time of sharing, but did not materialize because Fuji changed plans, will lead to a shitstorm on FR. There are quite some haters out there. But I believe my job here is not to wait the last few days before an official announcement to share the rumors (the only way, for me, to be 100% accurate… now it’s just 90% ;) ). My job is to inform you about Fuji’s plans anytime, as long as I consider the rumors plausible… and, if possible, update you as soon as possible if Fuji changes plans again.

So I’ll keep up sharing anytime… but take long-term rumors always with a grain of salt.

cheers
