I still owe you the exact time of announcement of the XF35mmF2 and 1.4x TC. The embargo ends tomorrow, 21th of October at 01:00 New York Time (07:00 Berlin Time). Trusted source.

The lens will be available mid-November (probably 14th of November).

This availability rumor comes from an anonmyous source with nick-name (thanks a lot!), who will be raised to the status of “source right in the past” tomorrow… and let’s hope soon also to trusted :)

digicame-info leaked the first official images of the XF35mmF2. This time we see it mounted on a X-T1.

A part from that, they also leaked the price in Yen:

• XF35mm F2 estimated retail price of R WR is ¥ 48,000 (tax included). The color is black and silver.
• Teleconverter XF1.4X estimated retail price of TC WR is ¥ 59,000 (tax included).

As rumored here, in Europe the price should be of €399 for the XF 35mmF2 WR and of €449 for the 1.4x Teleconverter.

Even Fujifilm itself posts wrong rumors now and then. ? In fact, unlike predicted by Fujfilm Australia, there has not been any announcement between the 16th and 18th of October.

According to FR-sources, the announcement will be on October 21… that’s the real reason, why Marty McFly made his time travel exactly to this date of the future :)

Yesterday, Fujifilm Australia invited via facebook Fuji fans at the The Digital Show this weekend from 16 to 18 October. They end the post writing:

“p.s. New product announcement to be expected! See you there!”

So what, will Fujifilm announce the 1.4x Teleconverter and 35mmF2 already tomorrow (or within the 18th)? I can’t see Fuji announcing new gear on Saturday or Sunday. IIRC, they never did that so far. So the 16th of October is the hottest candidate.

In the meantime, also digicame-info confirms: Fujfiilm will announce the 35mmF2 and 1.4x Teleconverter “soon”.

stay tuned…
