Don’t Worry: Fujinon GF35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 is Weather Sealed

Share

FujiRumors told you already back in March (!!!) that Fujifilm will launch the Fujifilm GFX50SII.

And over all these months, we have leaked, price, specs, release date and more.

We have also told you that, along with the Fujifilm GFX50SII, Fujifilm will launch a new and affordable zoom lens, the Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6.

When we leaked the first details (no aperture ring, $500 kit price, etc), some FR-readers were sure that this would be the G mount equivalent of the Fujinon XC lenses, hence just a plastic mount and possibly not even weather sealing, in order to keep it as cheap as possible.

But that’s not correct.

The Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 will have a metal mount and, that’s today’s rumor, according to our sources it will also be weather sealed!

Voigtländer Nokton 35mm F1.2 Development Story and First Review

Share

Fujifilm and Cosina managers have met for a discussion about the development of the new Voigtländer Nokton 35mm F1.2.

The video has been shared on youtube, but is only in Japanese. However, the Japanese website dclife reports about its content here, so you can let it go through google tanslate here. There is not much to discover, but here are some main ponts.

  • Cosina started development one year ago
  • they wanted to make a lens that is faster than the 35mmF1.4, hence 35mmF1.2
  • compatible with electronic contacts, so it supports software correction such as various aberrations and only “X-Pro3” is available for parallax correction

Also, dc-watch has posted the first review about the Voigtländer Nokton 35mm f/1.2, which you can find at dc.watch (translation Part 1 / translation Part 2).

In short: it’s soft at wider apertures, distortion is well controlled, good uniform bokeh and 3D effect.
