Top Gear 2023

So we told: there are no more Fujifilm announcements in 2023

And while in 2023 we might still get maybe some manual of even this new third party autofocus lens as well as the Meike AF 55mm f/1.4, a few more Yongnuo lenses and the first Brightin Star AF 50mm f/1.4, but those will come either in late December or next year, so we are basically done with pretty much anything.

This means it’s time for you guys to let us know what you consider the top gear announced in 2023.

Quick note: the list includes cameras and lenses with autofocus or at least electronic contacts.

Fujifilm GFX100S II Coming First Months of 2024: Speculating about Differences to GFX100 II

Share

Fujifilm GFX100SII
Speculated Specs and Questions

We recently told you that the Fujifilm GFX100S II will come in the first months 2024.

So the question now is: what could be the differences or similarities between the Fujifilm GFX100S II and the Fujifilm GFX100 II?

To be clear: these are just speculations, not rumors.

  • lower price than GFX100II
  • lower EVF resolution
  • still no battery grip option
  • lower bursts rates than GFX100II
  • smaller body
  • a bit inferior video specs (due to smaller body and not optimal heat dissipation)
  • no full size HDMI and Ethernet port

I think the list above makes a whole lot of sense. But now it gets tougher and the question are:

  • will the GFX100 II have the new optimized 100MP sensor (improved readout circuits, microlenses etc) or will it use the older non-optimized 100MP sensor to keep price as low as possible?
  • will it have only SD-card slots or also a CFexpress card slot?
  • will it offer Frame.io integration in camera body or not?

And last but not least (and maybe most importantly):

  • will the GFX100S II still have the PSAM layout or will retro dials return on GFX with the GFX100S II?

These are just some of my personal non-rumor based speculations and questions. Feel free to add yours in the comments below.

As usual, all the answers will follow on FujiRumors.com.

These are the 17 New Autofocus Lenses we Got for Fujifilm X in 2023

X Mount AF lenses in 2023

In 2023, Fujifilm launched only one XF lens, the Fujinon XF 8mmF3.5.

But that is not all we got in 2023 in terms of autofocus X mount lenses.

In fact, many third party lens manufacturer have launched their own X mount AF lenses, and if we sum them up all, we see we got a total of 17 new lenses (some of them announced and coming soon but not yet on the market).

So here is the list.

  1. Fujinon XF 8mmF3.5
  2. Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8
  3. Sigma 23mm f/1.4
  4. Sigma 100-400mm f5.0-6.3
  5. Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8
  6. Viltrox 20mm f/2.8
  7. Viltrox 27mm f/1.2
  8. Viltrox 75mm f/1.2
  9. Sirui Sniper 23mm f/1.2
  10. Sirui Sniper 33mm f/1.2
  11. Sirui Sniper 56mm f/1.2
  12. TTartisan 35mm f/1.8
  13. Meike 55mm f/1.4
  14. Meike 85mm f/1.8
  15. Samyang AF 75mm f/1.8
  16. Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8X
  17. Brightin Star 50mm f/1.4

But as we can see, third party lens manufacturer prefer to navigate through the safer waters of popular focal lengths.

What we need at this point is Fujifilm to offer also something that other brands still not really offer: a long telephoto prime.

They need to do that, despite the fact that, as we have shown in this “vote future X mount lens” survey, telephoto lenses are not high on the priority list of FujiRumors readers.

The reality is that it’s on the wide end that at least our readers want more options from Fujifilm. You can check out the most wanted lenses here.

RUMOR: Fujifilm Instax Mini 99 Coming with New Effects

Share

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.
