I get many emails from FR-readers with wishes about all possible things regarding the Fujifilm system.
Today I decided to catch up with and share some of those wishes.
This time we don’t share camera related wishes, but only lens, firmware and more, as otherwise there would be simply just too much to cover and discuss at once. An additional wishlist roundup with even more wishes will follow later on.
Fujifilm seems to be trying to takle the parts shortage more seriously compared to that creative (and failed) solution of using blockchain for that purpose.
Now, down below you can read the google translated version of their plan, which is not 100% clear, but I guess it overall simply means: we’ll get more parts from more suppliers.
On the 6th, Fujifilm announced the goal of expanding the target to a total of 30,000 parts of 30 suppliers by the fiscal year for digital platforms that optimize parts inventories such as digital cameras. We have been conducting verification for 4300 items from 8 companies since October last year, but we have started full-scale operation as we have been able to confirm the cost reduction effect such as inventory management.
Oh well, better late than never I guess.
Let’s hope this will have positive effects also on the Fujifilm X100V, which in Japan is suspended since 8 months and as Fujifilm managers told us recently here, if the entire world would stop to order the Fujifilm X100V today, it would take Fujifilm still up to 3 months to manufacture and ship all the cameras already ordered until up to this point.
And quite frankly, there are plenty of other cameras that could benefit from a more stable parts procurement, maybe there could be even a revival for the Fujifilm X-E4, which was discontinued even though MANY of you had one on order. Fujifilm simply gave up on being ever able to ship it in a reasonable time.

It looks like the Yongnuo YN 50mm f/1.8 X DA DSM PRO for Fujifilm X is coming soon, so much so that some website are already sharing their launch pages including additional information and images, as you can see down below.
The new lens uses 11 groups of 14 lenses, including three low dispersion lenses (LD), four aspherical lenses, etc., to ensure the overall lightness and compactness, while also showing excellent imaging capabilities; the aspherical lenses are added to effectively eliminate the aberrations, spherical aberration, aberrations and other problems caused by spherical lenses.
Aspheric lens: effectively eliminate the aberration, spherical aberration, aberration and other problems caused by spherical lens, so that the surrounding incident light more ideally concentrated to the focal plane, and can save the lens, facilitate the lightweight design of the lens.
Low Dispersion Lens (LD): Effectively eliminates chromatic aberration and better suppresses dispersion problems.
It will cost 1799 Yuan (250 USD).
It’s actually already available for purchase at yongnuomall.com.

NOTE: in the video above you will see me and my GFX100S in action in one of the most colorful pieces of nature + see some images I took with it
I’ve told you that the next Fujifilm X Summit will take place on September 12.
The question is: what will come on that day?
Well, I can now tell you that, for sure, we will get the long rumored Fujifilm GFX100 replacement.
Again: we are talking about the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement (so the successor to this camera here), and not the replacement to the GFX100S, GFX50R or any other GFX camera.
I don’t have indication about anything else to come at this point, but I will make sure to update you as soon as I have solid information.
What I am 100% sure of, though, is that in the next few weeks and months, there will be LOTS of rumors on FujiRumors. I mean, really LOTS of rumors ;).
So, if you want to have a fun time, then stay tuned on this blog and also on the FujiRumors YouTube channel.
Did I already tell you there will be LOTS OF RUMORS? ;)

So, we just leaked the date of the next Fujifilm X Summit, which will happen on September 12.
Now I am curious to know what you guys are hoping for to come.
That’s why I have now launched a survey that includes plausible, less plausible and borderline impossible options.
I’ll not include 110% impossible cameras, which would be for example a Fujifilm X-H3 or Fujifilm X-H3s, as those cameras are hardly 1 year old (or less). Or the Fujifilm X-T6 or Fujifilm X-S30.
What we will inlcude are the Fujifilm X-T5s (X-T5 with 26MP stacked sensor of X-H2S), Fujifilm X-Pro4, Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm X-T40, Fujifilm X100V successor (X200, X100VI, X100 whatever), Fujifilm X80, Fujifilm XF20, Fujifilm X-T300, Fujifilm X-A8, Fujifilm X-A30, Fujifilm X-M2, Fujifilm GFX100 successor, Fujifilm GFX100S successor, Fujifilm GFX50R successor and Fujifilm GFX50SII successor.
I will give you two options to vote on, because Fujifilm has so far registered two yet to be released cameras.
Have fun voting :)
