Around 16′ in this interview Qing Li states that they will soon launch the following two lenses for Fujifilm X mount:
Also, Richard Wong shared some samples taken with the TTArtisan AF 35mm f/1.8.
Thanks to Mistral for letting me know.
And time to update our third party autofocus lens list below.

We Have It!
Sigma has just officially announced the Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN and the Sigma 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 for Fujifilm X Mount.
All Sigma X mount AF lenses:
A new source contacted us via the revived rumor box (using a nickname, thanks!!!), and has passed us the information that the announcement of the Sigma 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 and Sigma 23mm f/1.4 will happen in just a few hours.
It also gave us the following details:
Thanks to our new source for sharing this. You’ll be elevated to trusted source status in a few hours ;). Feel free to keep up using the rumor box and your nickname for future rumors, or also contact me via fujirumor@gmail.com in case you want to interact with me so we can talk rumors behind the scenes. Many thanks again!
The Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN was pre-announced back in April here, whereas the Sigma 100-400mm f5.0-6.3 DG DN OS was first rumored on FujiRumors here.
All Sigma X mount AF lenses:
Cosina will release the Voigtländer NOKTON 50mm f/1.2 X for Fujifilm X mount in September for a price of 110,000 yen including tax ($763 converted).
Voigtländer lenses for Fujifilm X mount with electronic contacts:
I know, I know.
In the Sigma world, DG lenses are for Full Frame, whereas DC lenses are for APS-C.
Got it.
But I also got a rumor from a new source (via the revived anonymous rumor box), that Sigma will launch a X series version of their Sigma 100-400mm f5.0-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary.
The release should happen still this year.
Yes, it’s a full frame lens, but it is not a new practice to adapt Full Frame glass to APS-C, as we can see for example with the Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7, which was also initially launched for Full Frame but then Tamron released it also for X mount.
So, if the rumor is accurate, Sigma would just do the same.
Look, I also prefer it when lenses are specifically designed for APS-C, as it would make the lens smaller, but I also get it that for Sigma, Tamron & Co it is simply very cost efficient to take an existing FF lens and swap the mount to make it fit for APS-C.
Again… this rumor comes from a new source. So, while we are grateful for the tip, we also have to take it with the mandatory grain of salt. I was not able to double confirm or multiple check it.

Why Fujifilm?
Why?
Why are you doing this?
There is no need for one, totally wasted R&D.
These lenses make no sense!
That’s how some of the comments sounded on my various platforms after I have published the latest patents of the XF56mmF1.7 and re-designed XF18mmF1.4.
And these comments came after I warned you in the article that in 11+ years of blogging I have never seen a patent actually become a real product.
And despite my repeated warnings, some people keep taking those patents as an indication of what’s really coming next from Fujifilm.
But if it was really like this… I mean, if patents would really show us the way that Fujifilm is taking, then where are:
So, even though I feel a bit like Don Quixote fighting the windmills, I will give it another try today.
But I’ll take a different approach this time.
Because, well aware that a good number of people don’t go beyond the headline, I decided to create a headline that shows how absurd it is to put any trust in these patents. And hopefully, this will motivate people to look deeper into this subject.
And how do we look deeper into it?
Well, in this article we look at the 67 patents FujiRumors has shared starting from our first one posted back in 2012 until the latest one here.
Give them a look, and then make up your own mind if you should take patents as solid indications of future products.
Fujifilm has released new firmware updates for the Fujifilm X-T3, Fujifilm X-T4, Fujifilm X-T5 and Fujifilm X-H2.
