Hot! New Fuji announcement on June 27th! It’s about new lenses :)


Finally some rumor about Fuij’s X system! I just got a message from one of our readers that there will be a Fuji global announcement on June 27th regarding future XF lenses for the X Pro 1!

As you may remember Fuji officially said that there will be nine lenses. We got the specs from seven of them:

These are the lenses coming in 2012:
-14mm f/2.8
– 18-72mm f/4.0 with IS (Image stabilization).
Thess are the lenses coming in 2013
– 28mm f/2.8 pancake
– 23mm f/2.0
– 72-200mm f/4.0 IS
– 12-24mm f/4.0 IS

 

Let’s see if that roadmap is going to be confirmed or not on June 27th! Stay tuned!!!

Hot news! Samyang will launch some lens for the X system in June!!!


Finally some rumors for us! Samyang will release the first lens for the Fuji X system in June!!! There is no info about the lens specs yet but I like the manual focusing Samyang lenses a lot! usually they have a very high image quality and a very low price. Samyang already makes lenses for the Sony NEX and Micro Four Thirds system. The image on top shows the 7.5mm fisheye for m43. Don’t know if that is one of the lenses they will offer for the X system or if the coming lenses will have a complete new design. Let’s see…June is no far away!

Chinese company is making a 35mm f/0.95 lens for our X PRO 1!

What you see here on top is a rendering of the future 35mm f/0.95 lens for the X system made by the chinese company ShenyangZhongyi. The company name is unkown to me and I don’t knwo their history. But every new lens for the X system is welcome. Hope the bigger ones like Sigma and Tokina will do some lenses too!

PDNonline confirms the Fuji lens roadmap (and adds small bits of info)

PDNonline (Click here) posted the Fuji lens roadmap and added some info about the aperture of most of these lenses:

2012
•    14mm (21mm equivalent) super wide
•    18-72mm f/4 (27-108mm equivalent) image stabilized zoom
2013 
•    23mm f/2 (34mm equivalent) wide
•    28mm f/2.8 pancake design (42mm equivalent) normal
•    12-24mm f/4 (18-36mm equivalent) image stabilized zoom
•    70-200mm f/4 (105-300mm equivalent) image stabilized zoom

As you see the only lens that lacks an aperture info is the 14mm lens. Fuji marketing said it shoudl be somewhere between f/1.4 and f/2.0. I guess it will be the second :)
