We did talk about the top 10 most important cameras of Fujifilm in the last 10 years.
But not all was successful that Fujifilm did.
So why did some cameras fail? Bad timing? Bad specs? Too strong competition? Killed by Kaizen? Complicated usability?
Let’s look into it today, because knowing the errors of the past, will help to avoid to make the same errors in future.
Let’s start!
For some reason the claim is spreading that FujiRumors said the X mount Sigma lenses would come on February 9, which now results in people accusing me of sharing fake/wrong rumors and being terribly disappointed (by FujiRumors and the lack of Sigma X mount lenses).
Of course I never said that they’d be announced on February 9 and luckily some of you guys out there set things right for me by saying on forums:
this is the other typical way that Fuji Rumors is “wrong” – people make incorrect assumptions and wrongfully attribute them to the site.
And before somebody attributes me further more wrong rumors I have never shared, I will tell you this: Sigma will announce their first X mount lenses in February.
I say it now, after the February 9 launch, to avoid to create false hopes in the community for an event that was reserved to this lens.
I am making my last checks, and will then share the real announcement date as soon as I can. It could be just a matter of minutes or days.
We 100% confirm that the lenses to be announced will be:

It’s been a while that the Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 is available for pre-order, but so far Viltrox has not given any details on when it will actually start shipping.
Well, B&H Photo now says that they expect availability on April 2022.
That’s the times we live in, guys. Delays, postponements, uncertainty. We just better arm ourselves with patience when it comes to order and get new gear.
As we told you a few weeks ago, Sigma will announce X mount lenses “soon”. I never gave a date (and hence I never said they would be announced today, Feb.9), but I confirm everything I said so far, hence that they will come “soon” and that Sigma will start their X mount adventure with these three lenses:
Assuming that Sigma will not design completely new lenses, but use the current design and just adapt the mount to make it fit on X series cameras, I have made a couple of comparisons already.
One spec that is maybe better seen on images rather than expressed in numbers, is the size of the lenses.
So I used the camerasize.com database to compare the future Sigma X mount lenses to their Fujifilm X mount counterparts.
Note that I’ve mounted the Sigma lenses on a Sony A6600 and the Fujinon lenses on an X-Pro3, since that way both lenses have their mount pretty much perfectly aligned. And of course, camerasize has the Sigma lenses with lens hood, but it’s really not a massive effort of imagination to “think away” those lens hoods.
