THE RUMOR
As you know, in early June I told you about an updated 35mm f/1.4. It has become quiet around this rumor, so that I thought that Fuji has dropped original plans. But now an anonymous source told me that the 35mmMKII could be announced early 2015.
THE PATENT
[UDPATE: As JoHo said in the comments: The US patent is a (presumably just translated) version of a patent that has been filed in December 2011 in Japan (see priority date). So it is unlikely that it refers to a new design.]
ORIGINAL POST: And this could be another hint: here is a patent (click here) showing a new 35mm f/1.4 lens. So there were/are definitely plans to upgrade it. Early rumors said that the upgrade would basically be just about a faster AF speed (and not weather sealing).
But be careful: a rumor + a patent are still not a fact! So take it with the usual grain of salt for now. Especially since at photokina a manager said that the 35 ver.2 could eventually come after they have released all the other lenses…. but I remember managers denying an update to the X100 just a few months before the X100S was announced, so who knows…
Don’t worry, I’ll do my homeworks and hopefully be able to update you soon with something more reliable.
Adobe just released the Beta version of Photoshop 8.7. You can download it at Adobe Labs here. It supports the Fujifilm X30.

As Tom, who spotted the image said: “If the Fujifilm X-T1 is good enough for gods work, it must be an awesome camera.”
Note the difference: With the Fujifilm X-T1 (+ 23mm I think) you need just one hand to hold it, set and shoot… seems like the Nikon is quite a bit heavier ;) .CNN, the week in 35 images. See the Popes image here.
“Bought it, waited for it, love it, worth it!” that’s what FR-reader Mike Ryan said about the X-T1 Eye Cup over at the Fujirumors facebook page.
Well, it was a long wait, but finally the Long Eye Cup for Fujifilm X-T1 is widely available, for example at BHphoto, AmazonUS and Adorama.
For EU residents, I’ve checked AmazonDE, AmazonIT, AmazonUK, WexUK, WexDE, PCHstore, top-foto.de and a few more, but I couldn’t find it in stock for the regular price (just overpriced via third party seller at Amazon)
So, dear EU-residents, if you know some store that has them in stock, feel free to drop it in the comments.
