Yesterday a trusted source told us, we should get ready for a new lens coming on May 18th (along with the X-T10). Well, it seems that it could be the XF90mmF2 lens.
In fact, the Austrian store foto-koeberl-graz has the XF90mmF2 lens listed on their website. No Price, no specs… just an expected availabilty: July 31!
Seems like we will have a nice Double Announcement on May 18th!
What a great sunny Sunday here in… the mountains ;) . I’ll try to go out and enjoy it, right after today’s third article is online (Posted Earlier Today: First REAL LIFE X-T1 image leaked – Full list of X-T1 firmware ver. 4.0 features).
But before I leave, I couldn’t wait to share this with you:
A top trusted source just dropped me an email and said: “Get ready for a New Lens on May 18th!!!” Although the source didn’t specify which lens will be unveiled, I guess that a quick look at the roadmap will help you to find the answer.
I guess they will take off the image soon, but for now, if you go to Flickr here, you can see the X-T10 in real life (wich XC16-50). It lookes exactly like the images leaked here in the last few days!
Enjoy it, before the photographer takes it off from his Flickr here
The new firmware ver.4.0 will really make the X-T1 a “complete new camera!”. It will bring faster AF and new features.
As rumored previoulsy here:
A) Fuji will announce the new Firmware in Mid-May (probably the 11th)
B) The Firmware will be available for download in June (this means, more or less when the X-T10 will be available on the market) – NOTE: last minutes delay can happen, see X100 firmware.
No word about other X-series camears beeing updated for now.
