STAY TUNED: Date of Next Fujifilm X Summit to be Unveiled TODAY

We have the date of the next Fujifilm X Summit.

Right now I am on a short break while driving through the center of Italy. So we will share it with you at 10AM New York time (4PM Berlin Time).

You’ll get the rumor…

But…

if you decide to follow the big unveil on my YouTube channel, then you’ll get the rumor from my favorite Mediterrenean sea town (short guide included).

This means that in terms of rumors, you won’t miss anything if you don’t follow me on YouTube.

But if you love Italy, the Mediterrenean sea, awesome little towns, pristine water and great sunsets, then make sure to check out the rumor also on YouTube, as I will tell you the name of the town 99% of you never heard about, and after my video you’ll wonder how in all these years you could have missed such an awesome spot in Italy.

Above is the video that will go online shortly. Enable the reminder in order not to miss when it goes online.

And guys, this is the the very beginning of a long new rumor chapter here on FujiRumors. ;)

Fun times are coming ;).

Sigma 50-140mm F2.8 for Mirrorless APS-C Patent Found

Sigma 50-140mm f/2.8 DC DN

The patent for the Sigma 50-140mm f/2.8 APS-C mirrorless lens has been found.

This would be the first telephoto DC DN (APS-C) lens from Sigma and it would go to compete with one of Fujifilm’s best lenses, the Fujinon XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR.

  •  Application: Sigma Co., Ltd.
    Public number: P2023090116
    Application number: P 2021204904
    Release date: 2023-06-29
    Name of invention: Imaging optics
  • [Issue] Provides a small imaging optics with a small open F value in the entire zoom range.
  • Mirrorless cameras have a smaller housing due to the abolition of mirrors, so it is required to miniaturize the imaging optics accordingly. In addition, large aperture zoom lenses with small open F values are required throughout the zoom range.
  • In Patent Document 1, a positive read type zoom lens with an open F value of about 2.8, which is bright and the lens group on the object side is fixed to the image surface at the time of variable doubling is disclosed. The convenience and robustness are high due to the fact that the optical total length does not change, but there is a problem that the size of the imaging optical system is large.
  • In Patent Document 2, a positive read zoom lens with a bright open F value of about 2.8 and a shortened optical total length at the wide angle end is disclosed. However, there are many lenses with large diameters that move when multiplying on the image side rather than the opening aperture, so the mechanism required for the transformation is larger and the diameter size of the lens barrel is larger.
  • This invention is made in light of this situation, and aims to provide a small imaging optics with a small open F value throughout the zoom range.
  • Example 1 (for 50-140mm F2.8 APS-C)
    Zoom ratio 2.70
    Wide angle intermediate telephoto
    Focal length 50.50 85.38 136.50
    F number 2.92 2.92 2.92
    Total angle of view 30.62 18.00 11.40
    Statue height 14.20 14.20 14.20
    Lens total length 125.00 137.38 145.00
