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 :)

stay tuned…

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”.

This is one of my favorite rumors of 2015. On April 20 a New Source told us Fujifilm is considering to produce a Super-Fast 1.0 lens (around 30mm). We all took the grain of salt… and started hoping.

Luckily, about a month later, on May 25, a source, who was right in the past, confirmed that Fujifilm has a 33mmF1.0 on the radar, but they were still discussing if they should really make it. Will the X-shooter community buy such a lens?

We tried to help Fujifilm in their decision, and dropped our vote in the following polls:

And we waited… patiently.

So what, did Fuji finally made its decision? According to a trusted source: Yes, the die is cast! And the answer is….

… drum roll…

Yes! Fuji will produce it!

When will it come? I still don’t know, but you can be sure I’ll put my best into it not only to get multiple confirmation about this rumor, but also to give you an expected release date as soon as possible!

so stay tuned…

So how big is the upcoming XF 35mmF2 compared to the XF 35mmF1.4? Fujirumors reader Jano & Lilla Lalla made their own comparisons and shared them with the FR-community (thanks!). And here are their results:
