A few of weeks ago I told you how Fuji scratched the 120mm (which is still in the official roadmap), and planed to release something under 100mm.

Well, today I have an update for you. A trusted source just told me, that it will be an XF80mm macro lens, very likely F2.8.

But…

…. in times, where even official Fujifilm roadmaps (see 120mm) and press releases (see flash in May press release) contain “wrong” informations, you should take everything with a grain of salt, even if it comes from trusted source. Fujifilm just changes plans too many times!

Thanks a lot to FR-sources for keeping us updated.

When we leaked the first Fujifilm X-T2 images back in mid April, some attentive FR readers noticed that the Drive Dial has an 8th function (compared to the 7 functions of the X-T1).

A source decided to unveil the mistery and send us detailed images of all the dials.

You can see that the Fujifilm X-T2 has no Video button anymore and that Fuji added it to the Drive dial.

Moreover, you can also cleary see the thicker dial and the button mechanism (see the youtube video).

An anonymous source shared the image of the Fujifilm X-T2 vertical battery grip (VG-XT2) via email (sharing images via rumor box is a new feature… don’t hesitate to use it :-) )

Trusted sources confirm that the images are real.

You can see the “Boost” function (for higher frame rate) and, as clearly visible, it takes 2 batteries!!! :-).

With the vertical battery grip attached, the X-T2 will take its juice from 3 batteries overall. And given how much the X-T2 will probably suck (in terms of battery life ;) ), this is a very welcome addition.

The Fujifilm X-T2 will be announced in late June / early July.

There will be a Zeiss announcement next week. Some sites are saying it will be about a new lens… and some even think there will be new Fuji X mount lenses.

I’m sorry folks, but our friends from mirrorlessrumors say it clearly: no new lens coming next week… and I trust them!

So don’t put too much hope into new Zeiss lenses for Fuji X mount in future.

The biggest problem, for any other lens manufacturer (including Zeiss) is: Fujinon glass is too good and covers 85% of the needs of photographers… of course not all needs, because I KNOW YOU GUYS WANT THE XF23mmF2!!! :-)

THE XF23mmF2 WILL COME DON’T WORRY!!!!

Due to the dubious nature of the leaked X-T2 and of the questionable honesty of the ebay seller, we decided to remove the ebayUK links. What you see are the previously leaked images.
