Share

Cosina has just announced the Voigtlander COLOR-SKOPAR 18mm F2.8 Aspherical lens, which will be released in February exclusively for Fujifilm X mount. It comes with electronic contacts (but no AF). Full product page below.

Definitely in line in terms of looks and feel with the lovely Voigtländer ULTRON 27mm F2.

Usually the first to get new Voigtländer lenses for shipping is Voigtlander USA Distributor CameraQuest, which should list this lens for sale soon at their Amazon Storefront page.

There is already a first look with sample images available at fujifanboys here.

Fujinon XF 18-55mmF2.8-4 Declared Among All Time Best Kit Lenses… and Yet it Gets Replaced Soon

Share

Chris and Jordan made a list of the best 5 kit lenses of all time. In the list we find:

I was a very happy owner of the Fujinon XF18-55mmF2.8.4 myself. It was the lens that took one of my all time favorite images.

The only reason I don’t own it anymore (and I sold it along with my XF55-200mm), is that I got this XF lens that replaced them both.

But I totally agree: the XF18-55mmF2.8-4 is one of the best kit lenses we have ever seen.

However, despite being still an awesome lens, it is going to be replaced by the Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8, as we first told you from a beautiful mountain peak in the Dolomites.

In fact, we have also leaked the images already as well as additional (highly welcome) specs.

Check out below the rumors regarding the Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8.

Look Fujifilm: the X-T5 Actually Sells Well Now that Orders are Open Again in Japan

Share

Did you notice Fujifilm?

People actually buy your cameras, if you allow us to buy them :).

Now, sorry for this rather polemical intro, but Fujifilm deserves it a little bit.

In fact, for about 1 year, the Fujifilm X-T5 was not really available for order in Japan.

But just last months, on December 15 (1+ year after announcement), Fujifilm resumed sales for X-T5 in Japan.

And guess what happened?

In just 15 days the X-T5 jumped on the 6th spot of the Mapcamera ranking (one of the largest stores in Japan).
