RUMOR :: Fujinon XF23mmF2 will come this year (even before the 120mmF2.8)

ddo

Fuji Managers said it here: “Customers are requesting more compact lenses. Our 35mm F2 is one example. So we may need to supplement this lens [with others of this kind].”

And tell me… over the last few years, which has been the most requested compact lens by the FujiRumors community in different Polls we have launched on this blog? You got it… it’s the Fujinon XF23mmF2! Now guess what? It seems Fujifilm listened (and you know they read FujiRumors).

According to our reliable sources, the XF23mmF2 (which is still not in the roadmap), will be launched this year… and probably even before the XF120mm (which is in the roadmap)!

So it’s time for me to update again the rumored-lens-roadmap.

more is coming… so stay tuned... ;)

Lensmate says: “Fujifilm X-Pro2 shipping could be moved out until April!”

Several Lensmate customers are getting this notification: the Fujifilm X-Pro2 shipping could be moved out until April! Fujfilm customer service says that Fuji is “tweaking the firmware“. This confirms that this rumor could be correct. However, as we know from Kevin Mullins, the production Firmware has apparently just been released. So I doubt it is still a firmware issue. Maybe Lensmate isn’t just up to date with the latest news from Fujifilm.

Fujifilm still officially sets the release for “beginning of March”… the official reason? “High Demand”

waiting Godot…

Fuji X100T & Kaizen Love? “High Chance of Firmware 2.00 for Fuji X100T” – SRP (NOTE: Long Term Rumor)

Yes !!! Soon Iridient Digital also for Windows / Linux (Public Beta in March/April)

iridientb

digi

It is considered by many the best RAW converter for your X-Trans files: Iridient Digital! The problem so far? There is just a MAC version.

However, this will change soon. According to a comment to this stevehuff article, Brian will launch a Windows/Linux Beta version in March/April:

” I’ve made major progress on the Windows (and Linux) ports of much of my RAW processing pipeline in the past couple months. I hoped to have a public beta in Jan-Feb, I’m now aiming for March-April. Initial product(s) on Windows won’t be the full Iridient Developer application, but the most critical processing elements will be there. For those that use a primarily Lightroom based workflow the new product(s) should be more convenient and have a much lower learning curve than a more full featured RAW processor like Iridient Developer anyway.”
