Amateur Photographer interviewed Mr. Hiroshi Kawahara from Fuji. And he confirmed that “Fujifilm technicians are seriously investigating the possible launch of a full-frame compact system camera (CSC) and are focusing on the sensor and processor that would be required.” Mr Kawahara also confirmed that “the covering circle of Fuji’s current X-series lenses is large enough to accommodate full frame.” The problem is that current wide angle lenses would not cover the full FF area.

That would be a huge move from Fuji! Although it’s a bit pity that current wide angle lenses will never work on a FF X camera. I guess they have to launch a complete new series of FF compatible lenses. Question is…when will they do it?

Wow guys! You have to see this! The polish website Optyczne (Click here) just published the pictures of five new Fuji X lenses! These are the:
Fujinon Super EBC XF 10–24 mm f/4 R LM OIS
Fujinon Super EBC XF 23 mm f/1.4 R
Fujinon Super EBC XF 27 mm f/2.8 R
Fujinon Super EBC XF 55–200 mm f/3.5–4.8 R LM OIS

I like that pancake a lot!

That is a huge surprise! Zeiss (Click here) just announced the development of three new prime lenses for the Fuji X system! They will launch the 12mm f/2.8, 32mm f/1.8 and 50mm f/2.8 in mid 2013 for a price around 1.000 Euro. And these are autofocus lenses with support for all camera functions!
