Proof of XF 33mmF1.0? :: Fuji X-Pro2 framelines preview shows “33”

Share

framelines

There is one rumored lens, that makes many X-shooter dream: the super-fast XF33mmF1.0.

The first rumor about this lens has been shared back in April 2015 here. Since then I’ve worked with my sources, trying to confirm it… and chances are actually very high to see it become real one day. A trusted source told us in October 2015 here, that the decision at Fuji’s Headquarter is fallen: Fujifilm will make it (if Fuji doesn’t change plans again).

But, of course, a lot of time will pass between a decision at Managment Level and the release of a new product.

And here is an update:

mikemander (who tested a prototype X-Pro2) published a picture that shows a 33mm frameline preview on the pre-production X-Pro2. Could that be the 33mmF1?

stay tuned on FujiRumors… who knows if FR-sources can give me an update on this soon… and if they do, you’ll read it immediatly here on FujiRumors ;)

P.S.: thanks to the FXF community and the FR-readers, who told me about it at our Forum and via email

Fuji changes Shipping Embargo on X-Pro2 to Late February :: Fujifilm X70 Price Changes from $799 to $699!

70

While the Fujifilm X-Pro2 is having a well desevered great pre-order start (first in the CSC AmazonUS Camera Ranking), things does not seem to proceed that well for the little Fujifilm X70.

This might be the reason why the Fuji X70 price listed at stores changed from $799 to $699. It should be available on February 15.

Fujifilm also changed the shipping embargo on the X-Pro2. Here is the official statment that Fujfiilm send stores:

Due to a delay in shipping from the factory, we are revising the Sales Embargo date for the X-Pro2 camera body. In an effort to have inventory available at all of our retailers at the same time for the launch, we are EXTENDING the following Sales Embargo. X-Pro2 Body – Embargo on Retail Sales – EXTENDED until a TBD Date in Late February.”

And now you see why certain rumors (like firmware updates, shipping dates and price) are very difficult for me: Fuji can change it in any moment… even shortly after its launch.

X-Pro2

A reader asked me via Twitter here, if the X-Pro2 sensor if made by Sony. I’m saying it since years now here on FujiRumors, but repetita juvant: all APS-C X-series cameras use the isoless Sony Sensor. The 2/3 sensors are made by Toshiba (now aquired by Sony, too). And the X-Pro2 sensor is once again an isoless Sony sensor, just with special Fuji-designed X-Trans CFA. Fujifilm sold it’s sensor business long ago. Will they be back in the sensor business with the organic sensor one day? Time will tell.
