July 20, 2018
The price and the first images of the Fujinon XF 200mm F2 and XF 8-16mm F2.8 have been leaked by nokishita.
In British pounds the lenses will cost:
And how much in US Dollar $$$?
In UK, the XF 8-16mm F2.8 will be £100 ($130) cheaper than the XF100-400, which is sold in USA for $1,899. So maybe we will get for about $1,799 in USA?
Regarding the XF200mm F2, our sources said months ago it will be sold for about $6,000 with 1.4x TC.
Also, as we told you back in March, the XF200mm F2 won’t be black as displayed by Fujifilm at every photography fair, but white/light silver.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Both lenses will be announced in July… just stay tuned on FujiRumors, and you will get the live blogging 0,001 seconds after the announcements.
PREVIOUSLY LEAKED:

Fujifilm China just leaked (via nokishita) the full specs of the XF 8-16mm F2.8 as well as of the XF 200mm F2.
They also shared the full details of the upcoming XF lens roamdap.
Here is all google translated for you guys :)
As we told you here on FujiRumors a few weeks ago, Fujifilm will officially announce the Fujinon XF 8-16mm F2.8 and XF 200mm F2 in July.
We also told you the 8-16 will ship in November and the 200mm in Ocotber (rumor here).
Now nokishita also says the announcement is “soon”, and gave us the specs here (google translated)
Fujinon XF 8-16mm F2.8
Fujinon XF 200mm F2
New 1.4x Teleconverter
stay tuned…
As we told you a few days ago, Fujifilm will announce a new lens roadmap soon. Here are the lenses it will include (via nokishita)
The list pretty much exactly includes what we voted our most voted prime and zoom 1.5 years ago!
It seems that all the time we used to give Fujifilm our massive feedback was not for nothing.
I told you… the read you guys… and they llisten ;)
THANKS FUJIFILM!!!!
I know you guys would like…
… a rumor a day,
… but here on FujiRumors we do not make up rumors, or keep up regurgitating old ones, just to have something online.
If you decide to invest your time on FujiRumors, then it must be time well spent, hence we only share rumors when we have fresh ones.
This is why sometimes you might have to wait a few weeks before brand new rumors will be published, but it seems that your waiting is over, since I expect a wave of rumors coming.
According to our trusted sources, the Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 and Fujinon XF 200mm f/2 will be announced in July.
As we already told you months ago, the XF 200mm f/2 will come with the new 1.4x teleconverter, since current teleconverters only perform well down to f/2.8, but not f/2.
I remind you that we shared yesterday, that it is 100% sure that the Fujifilm XF10 will be announced on July 19.
A whirlwind of rumors is coming… don’t miss anything and make sure to follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter.

According to a new source, the Fujinon XF 8-16mm F2.8 WR will have a new and improved flare control.
I guess it will probably use the same new “Anti-Reflection Coating” that we will find in the XF 200mm F2, and that will become standard in most of future Fujinon XF lenses.
We could see some mock-ups of the XF8-16 already in the past. I share them for you again here:
The Fujinon XF 8-16 is the most wanted Fujinon lens on FR-readers’ “To Do” list. And all we know officially from Fujifilm, is that it will be out this year.

UPDATE: Sadly there are not upcoming lenses displayed at the imaging USA.
In the last few years, Fujifilm skipped the CES fair in Las Vegas.
They will, however, have a public booth (Nr. 717) at the Imaging USA 2018, which will be open to the public between January 14 and 16 in Nashville, TN.
That’s a bit too early to see the Fujifilm X-H1 (which will be announced February 15 Tokyo time), but there is a lot of great stuff to see, starting from the Fujifilm GFX 50S to the Fujifilm X-E3 as well as some brand new lenses like the XF80mm F2.8 WR.
I do expect that they will also display some updated mock-ups (or even early working prototypes) of the upcoming XF8-16mm, XF200mmF2 and GF250mm.
We could see some mock-ups of these lenses already in the past. I share them for you again here:
If there is any FujiRumors reader attending the event, please feel free to share what you see and heard with us via fujirumor@gmail.com.
It would be a very welcome help.
Fujifilm has just issued an official press release sharing their schedule for the Imaging USA 2018, which includes not only the latest and greatest Fujifilm gear, but also free head shot studio sessions, speeches and more.
Just yesterday here we shared a bunch of XF8-16 and GF250 prototype images.
Now also ephotozine uploaded their sample images of the prototypes, and they show the XF8-16 next to the XF 16mm.
Please note that the XF16mm has the rear cap mounted on it, whereas the XF8-16 has no rear cap, which makes the XF16mm a bit longer than it should be.
There are many more images to see at ephotozine here.
They also shared GF250mm hands on photos here.
We already saw the first images of the XF8-16, GF250 and XF200 here, but now we can enjoy the XF 8-16 mounted on the Fujifilm X-T2 and the GF 250mm next to the Fujifilm GFX.
I will share just a few images, many more can be found at photographblog. So make sure to check out the XF 8-16 hands on photos here and GF 250 hands on photos here.
Note that, at least on this non-working XF 8-16 prototype, the lens hood is NOT removable.
have a GREAT day… and feel free to follow FujiRumors on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter
