Fujifilm Cracks Down on Overpriced Instax Film – (UPDATE: for China)

Share

UPDATE: This press-release comes from Fujifilm China and the content in it is relevant only for China

Instax is the money making machine for Fujifilm. The request is high and due to shortages in raw materials currently it can be sometimes hard to find Instax film in stock.

Now Fujifilm noticed that some non-official Fujifilm retailers are taking advantage of the shortage, and selling Instax film at a much higher price.

Fujifilm does not like this practice, promises to take actions and invites customers to purchase film only at authorised Fujifilm dealers to avoid to be scammed with overpriced Instax film.

First leaked image of the new Samyang AF 75mm f/1.8 X lens

Share

After the Samyang 12mm F2 AF, Samyang is soon going to announce their second AF lens for X mount, the Samyang AF 75mm f/1.8 X, as leaked by How2fly.

Personally I’d still go for the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2. It is bigger, sure, but also faster and has an aperture ring.

But I also welcome the new Samyang. Smaller and lighter options are always very welcome.

Two lenses are confirmed at this point. One lens is not confirmed, but there are hopes for it come soon.

So let’s put some order in the latest rumors and speculations.

SIGMA

As we reported here, the specs for the Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN have leaked. It will come also for Fujifilm X mount. So that’s sure to come soon.

It will be Sigma’s fifth autofocus lens for the X system in addition to the four they already offer here.

SAMYANG

This is a rumor that comes from our sources. Also in this case the announcement should be imminent. We don’t have additional specs for now, but it will come and it will be Samyang’s second AF X mount lens after the Samyang 12mm F2 AF.

TAMRON

Undoubtedly the lens most of you desire (as we can see from this survey): the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD.

Now, at this point there are no rumors about it. All we have is a rumor that Tamron is having an announcement on February 22.

Tamron has basically already said back in 2021 that they will release the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 also for Fujifilm X mount. Let’s hope that February 22 will finally be the day.
