Given the times we live in, I can’t say this comes surprising.
Tokina has announced it will increase prices on its products on April 8. Affected products include also the Tokina Fujifilm X mount autofocus lenses.
As you can see below, price will increase by 12% to 14%.
I have no rumors about it, but I would not be surprised if Fujifilm itself would be forced to raise prices too in future on some of its products.
According to rumors found and shared at Japanese websites such as Asobinet and Digicame-Info, the Voigtländer Nokton 23mmF1.2 for Fujifilm X will be announced “later this month” and ship in April.
We can be sure that the original source of this leak is Nokishita, who is all but gone ;).
This will be Cosina’s second Fujifilm X mount lens with electronic contacts after the Voigtländer Nokton 35mmF1.2 X.

Fujifilm X Photographer Eric Bouvet is also a war photographer who has ben to Ukraine already a few times, for example to photograph the “Heroes from Maidan” and to other war zones such as in Iraq here.
Now he is back in Kyiv to document the war unfolding in Ukraine.
So, if you want to see what is happening in Ukraine also through the eyes of Eric Bouvet with his Fujifilm GFX, make sure to follow him on Instagram here.
Also on the field with his Fujifilm X-T4 is Ron Haviv.
Over at his instagram here he is sharing powerful, touching and dramatic images that show who really loses in wars: the civil and innocent people, who just want to live their lives in peace.
Be aware that these are strong images coming from a war zone.
I guess at this point I should say something about the fact that people use X and even GFX gear to photograph the war proving that you can well do documentary style photojournalism with Fujifilm gear (even though many on forums and youtube say that’s impossible), but I am not in the mood for any further comment on that.
All that matters is that there are some incredibly courageous photographers are out there, documenting what is happening, no matter which gear they use. Because what we need these days is more information, not less.

A new patent for the Sigma 18-50mm f/2 DC DN APS-C lens has been found, basically a faster version of the current Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN which will come for Fujifilm X mount in December 2022.
Asobinet, who spotted the patent, says [google translated]:
Looking at the lens configuration, it is very similar to the 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN (not 100% match). Perhaps F2 zoom was one of the options during the examination stage of practical use lenses. However, now that F2.8 zoom has appeared, it seems unlikely that F2 zoom will see the light of day.
I love the size (and price) of the current Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8, but an f/2 version would be a nice addition too.
