Fujinon XF 500mm f/5.6 Full Announcement Set for 2nd Half of 2024 – Possible Teaser at May 16 X Summit?

Some of you mentioned in the comments that you had the NIKKOR 500mm F/5.6 with a Fringer adapter in your cart, ready to purchase.

However, after I shared the rumor about the Fujinon XF 500mm f/5.6 coming in 2024, you changed your plans.

This shows why I strive to be as accurate as possible: your buying decisions are influenced by our rumors, which places a significant responsibility on my shoulders. I’ve learned to handle this pressure by ensuring my information is as precise as it can be.

To clarify further: following my announcement that the Fujinon XF 500mm f/5.6 will be released in 2024, some of you asked if it would be unveiled at the X Summit on May 16.

But according to our sources, the full announcement, including specs and pre-orders, will occur in the second half of 2024.

Now, I don’t know if Fujifilm will add the lens to the roadmap, announce its development, or display mockups on May 16. We will have to wait for the X Summit to find out. But to my knowledge, the comprehensive announcement with full specifications and purchase options is expected in the second half of 2024.
