RUMOR: Fujifilm Instax Mini 99 Coming with New Effects

The ways of the rumors never cease to surprise me, and this one definitely took a unique path I could have never have imagined. Huge thanks to the source for letting me know.

But for you, my fellow Fuji X lovers, the way of the rumor is irrelevant. What matters is the rumor itself.

And the rumor is, that Fujifilm will launch the Fujifilm Instax Mini 99.

It will come with some sort of “filter” that will create unique color and light combination effects never experienced before on any Instax camera such as light bleed effect, green hue effect, red light flare, purple hue and more.

Fujifilm really keeps to come up with new ideas on how to keep the Instax momentum alive.

Thanks again to the source for this rumor.

Fujifilm INSTAX Pal named one of TIME’s BEST INVENTIONS of 2023

Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 with Internal Zoom (Will Not Extend when Zooming)

So, we shared the images and the main specs of the next XF lens that Fujifilm will launch, the Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR.

Before we shared the images, many were speculating that due to the slower aperture at the long end (f/4.8 instead of f/4 on the XF18-55), the lens would be significantly smaller than its predecessor.

Now, it is difficult to judge the real size based on the leaked images, but the impression is that, overall, there is not really a significant size difference in terms of overall length of the lens.

But here is a catch.

The Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 will have internal zooming, hence it will not protrude at all when zooming.

I guess some of the advantages are potentially better weather sealing, a better balanced lens for example when working on a gimbal and no zoom creep, where the lens extends when pointed downwards.

If you know other advantages (or disadvantages) of internal zoom mechanism, feel free to let us know in the comments.

Now, usually “internal zoom” is associated with more premium lenses, because they are technically more complex to make and hence also cost more.

But it’s nice to see Fujifilm bring this more “premium” experience also to future owners of this new standard kit lens.

LEAKED: First Images of Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR

Today we can share with you the first images of the Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 lens, kindly provided to us by an awesome source.

You can see the images below.

As we told you already in late summer from a beautiful peak in the Dolomites, this will be the next XF lens that Fujifilm will launch.

But that’s just one of the many new items Fujifilm is preparing for us in the first half of 2024.

There is lots more coming. A LOT more.

So stay tuned on FujiRumors, because the next weeks and months will be a fun ride ;).

LEAKED: Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR coming to Replace XF18-55mm

Thanks to our fantastic sources (THANKS!!!) we are now able to share additional details of the next XF lens that Fujifilm will launch.

  • Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR

A couple of things to note here.

  • this lens will replace the XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS as the standard kit lens
  • f/4.8 instead of f/4 on the long end
  • it keeps the linear motor (also XF18-55 has it)
  • it has still an aperture ring
  • it adds weather sealing (XF18-55 has not)
  • it has no OIS (XF18-55 has OIS)
  • very likely it will be able to resolve all 40MP of new Fujifilm cameras (the XF18-55 can not), giving us less range on the long end (50 instead of 55) but at the same time also more crop capabilities

Let us know what you think about these changes.
