Which X Gear Do You Own? (includes Third Party AF lenses) – POLL

Share

This survey is for the 91% of FR-readers who own X series gear.

Not only Fujifilm has launched new cameras and lenses (although sadly many of them are often not available due to parts shortage), but also more third parties are now offering X mount autofocus lenses, for example the (currently discounted) Sigma trinity, the latest Tamron lens, the new Samyang and more.

So I was curious to see how the new entries eventually shifted the ranking of the most owned X gear among the FujiRumors community we made last year here.

Feel free to vote the surveys down below.

  • Important Note: If you pre-ordered any of the gear listed below and just wait to get it shipped, you qualify as owner.
  • Important Note II: I include AF lenses from third party manufacturers

New Fujifilm Patents: Fujinon GF 20-30mmF4, GF 24-50mmF3.5-5.6 and 50-380mmF3.3, 35-280mmF3.3 (Cine Lenses?)

I was debating with myself if I should stop to report about patents at all.

Why?

Because in 10 years of blogging I have shared hundreds of patents on FR, and none has ever seen the light of the day. What I have seen once or twice, is a patent surface only after the real lens had been already announced (making the patent “leak” useless)

The problem?

I notice that when I report about patents, people think this means the patented item will surely come, it’s just a matter of time.

And that’s a problem, because:

So I don’t want to create false hopes by sharing patents, as those are concepts written on paper, and they remain such in 99% of the cases.

On the other hand, this is a rumor site. Those patents exist, even if the products in those patents will never see the light of the day.

So I decided that I will report about patents, but I will put my disclaimers hoping people will read more than just the mere headline.

And today we talk about a couple of GF and probably Cine lens patents surfaced on the web and brought to us thanks to the Japanese website Asobinet here and here.

So let’s look at them one by one below.
