Fujifilm has registered the TRIPOD GRIP TG-BT1 at Chinese and Indonesian authorities.
If you wonder what it is, we already told you about it a few days ago (sorry for the spoiler ;))
It is basically something like Sony is offering here so you can control you camera via bluetooth (and also use it as a mini tripod).

According to our trusted sources, Fujifilm will release a shooting grip as we know it for example from Sony here.
I am terribly sorry…. terribly sorry that many of you had to wait so long to be featured.
But no matter how hard I work, especially in a crazy 2022, with 3 higher end cameras coming out and 4 XF lenses coming out, I simply could not find time to collect all your wishes and share them.
So I’ll do it today… I grabbed a large beer, took a deep breath, and worked to organise the wishes I have received over the last few months in this article.
So… down below it is: the FR-readers wishlist roundup
FujiRumors has already reported how the upcoming Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 for Fujifilm X mount is already listed at some stores.
You can read the reviews about the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 for Sony APS-C E-mount at B&H Photo here and at AmazonUS here.
Now, according to Nokishita, pre-orders for the Sigma 18-50mmF2.8 should start on November 15 at 10 AM (I guess Tokyo time), which would mean 8PM of November 14 in New York. The release is scheduled for December 2 (via digicame-info).
Here in Italy, where I live, it will be 2AM. But don’t worry, I will be awake and cover the launch so you don’t miss anything.

Rumors and Discussions
Do you remember when Fujifilm patented the Fujinon XF300mm f/4 and XF500mm f/5.6 a couple of years ago?
And despite my warnings telling you not to expect such lenses soon (if ever), there are still a good amount of people who believe these patents are a strong indication for that gear to come soon.
So I will never be tired to make disclaimers: in 99,999% of the cases those patents never see the light of the day in a real product.
In fact, in over a decade of covering patents here on FujiRumors, I have seen 1 patent out of hundreds become real… and that patent was actually found only after Fujifilm released that gear.
Does this mean that covering patents is useless?
Yes… if you see it from the point of view of gear to come in future. You better look at our rumors for that purpose.
Any yet, these patents are a nice way to let us discuss on what Fujifilm should do in future and if such lenses would be appreciated among the Fujifilm community.
So down below are one by one all the latest patents.
