Image of Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8X DA DSM Autofocus Lens for Fujifilm X

Back in July Yongnuo announced the Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8X DA DSM PRO autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount.

The lens is already listed at Amazon US here and check out also your local Amazon here.

You can also find first look reviews about it:

  • alwinkok – Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8X DA DSM Pro – A Good Start
  • fujifanboys – Yongnuo 50mm F1.8 AF

But now an image leaked of the Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8S DA DSM for Fujifilm X at the Chinese Weibo account of 独立摄影师联合会.

Still 50mm, still f/1.8, but no “PRO” badge.

In short: it’s basically the X mount version of the already available Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8S DA DSM II for Sony E mount.

The non Pro is definitely smaller and has no display on the lens.

BREAKING: Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Fujifilm X Mount Coming October 5th

Sigma is having a launch event on October 5th.

The awesome guys at SonyAlphaRumors have already leaked the information that there will be the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 FE coming on that day.

But speaking of awesome guys, also our sources would like to add an interesting bit of information ;).

In fact, according to our sources (thanks!!!), Sigma will also launch the Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary on October 5th.

In the Sigma world, DC denotes lenses designed for APS-C.

Its strongest competitor will be the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8.

And I have an idea how Sigma could beat the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8: put an aperture ring on the Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN and you’ll win the hearts of us Fujifilm X shooters ;). So, let’s hope they’ll do that.

NOTE: how2fly informed us that it won’t have an aperture ring

Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6 on GFX100 II and Accurate Size compared to GF250mmF4

Fujifilm has released a new G mount roadmap that includes the following lenses:

  • Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6
  • GF powerzoom (for movie shooting)

During the Fujifilm X Summit (full summary here), Fujifilm did show us the silhouette of the Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6.

So I decided to take that silhouette and mount it on a brand new Fujifilm GFX100II.

Also, I compared its size to the currently longest prime Fujifilm offers, the Fujinon GF250mmF4. You can see the results down below.

This is as accurate as it gets. But keep in mind that, while historically Fujifilm shares pretty reliable silhouettes of upcoming gear, the shape we see now is based on the current state of development.

The Fujifilm Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6 will hit the market only sometimes in 2024, hence minor design changes might still occur until its final release.
