BHphoto and Adorama Launch Their Own 2 Days Only Deals

At FujiRumors, we always emphasize that competition is a positive force. The stronger Fujifilm’s competitors become, the more it drives Fujifilm to innovate and improve.

This concept also applies to major online retailers, who strive to outdo each other by offering better deals to attract customers.

And so it happens that exactly on the days when Amazon launched their massive Prime Deal days, also BHphoto here and Adorama here strike back with their own 2 days only deals.

So we do recommend you to compare prices among several stores to see who is offering the best deal on gear you might be interested in (including your local stores).

Meike 33mm f/1.4 XF Autofocus Lens Now Available

The new Meike 33mm f/1.4 XF APS-C Prime lens is now available at BHphoot here and Meike here.

It should soon be listed also at Amazon here and Adorama here.

This is Meike’s 3rd autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount.

And yes, I know we usually say “the more, the merrier”, and I agree with that.

But this focal length is already well covered and maybe it would be a good move by third party manufacturer to offer something different and not yet covered by other brands.

And maybe even more importantly: why not offer G mount autofocus lenses?

Also promised to come for X mount are the Meike AF 16mm f/1.4 and Meike AF 23mm f/1.4.

Tokina 23/33/56mmF1.4 Discontinuation Begins, but We Want THIS APS-C Mirrorless Lens from Tokina

Tokina X mount – The Missing Lens

First stores in Japan are starting to mark the following Tokina autofocus lens trinity as discountinued and in USA we have Adorama marking the Tokina 23mmF1.4 and Tokina 33mmF1.4 in “Closeout”.

I can’t really say I am surprised about it, as these are Viltrox clones at a higher price. And many other manufacturers offer autofocus lenses in that range too.

To make things worst, Tokina reacted to bad sales by increasing prices on their X mount lenses, which basically killed any chance for those lenses to sell in sufficient numbers.

And yet, there is one Tokina lens, for APS-C mirrorless, that could be very successful.

It’s already available for Sony E mount and it’s this lovely Tokina lens here.

Now, I hope Tokina won’t be discouraged to continue their X mount journey due to the bad sales of their first attempt, because I believe that the Tokina 11-18mmF2.8 would sell significantly better. The only true competitor in that range would be the Sigma 10-18mmF2.8, hence there would be still enough room for sales.

Yongnuo YN 50mm f/1.8X DA DSM PRO Coming Soon

It’s months now that we report about the upcoming Yongnuo autofocus lenses for Fujifilm X mount. In case you missed the previous episodes, here is what will come:

  • Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8
  • Yongnuo 23mm f/1.4
  • Yongnuo 33mm f/1.4
  • Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8
  • Yongnuo 56mm f/1.4

We also have shared lots of images of these lenses:

And now the Japanese website Asobinet reports that the Yongnuo will be released soon and a preliminary “experience meeting” is about to be held in China.

They also shared an image that you can see above.

It will be based on the lens design of the current full frame Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8 DF DSM and the selling price will be of 1799 yuan (converted to $247).

Some of these new Yongnuo lenses are going to have some stiff competition:

Yongnuo 50mm F1.8X PRO for Fujifilm X Mount Coming in June and New Image on X-H2S

Yongnuo YN50mm f/1.8

FujiRumors has already told you that Yongnuo is teasing the Yongnuo 50mm F1.8X DA DSM PRO X Mount lens coming next.

And not only that! We have also shared lots of images of this (and four other) upcoming Yongnuo X mount lenses.

Now an image appeared on the Chinese social media Weibo (and spotted by the Japanese website Asobinet) showing the lens mounted on the Fujifilm X-H2S (you can see the image above).

Coming in June… with Aperture Ring?

If the google translation didn’t mess it up, I think Yongnuo said on their Weibo account that it will come in June.

And also, they say that it will use the same optical design of the Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 for Sony E Mount, with the addition of an aperture ring (you can read it here).

Now I don’t know if it’s because it’s midnight here on the beautiful road of wine and my tired eyes are overseeing something, but I don’t really notice an aperture ring (well visible though in many of their other upcoming X mount lenses).

Anyway, if they did add the aperture ring, than that’s definitely a nice touch and I wish other lens manufacturers would have done the same when they adapted their Sony E mount glass to the X system.

The complete list of autofocus lenses Yongnuo is planing to launch is:

  • Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8
  • Yongnuo 23mm f/1.4
  • Yongnuo 33mm f/1.4
  • Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8
  • Yongnuo 56mm f/1.4

Some of these new Yongnuo lenses are going to have some stiff competition:

Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8 vs…

Yongnuo 23mm f/1.4 vs…

Yongnuo 33mm f/1.4 vs…

Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 vs…

Yongnuo 56mm f/1.4 vs…

Good luck Yongnuo!

LEAKED: New 33mm f/1.4 Autofocus X Mount Lens (Yongnuo?)

A new third party 33mm f/1.4 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount has now appeared on the Chinese social media platform Weibo (via Camerabeta).

I just got a new domestic automatic lens, 33mm F1.4, and the Fuji X mount version will be launched. At present, the price and release time are still uncertain. It is said that the price is very good. You can look forward to it.

The only thing we got is the image above.

The brand is still unkown, but some point out the similarity to some of the Yongnuo AF lenses available for other mounts.

Until now, besides the Fujinon XF 33mm f/1.4, we have the following third party 33mm f/1.4 autofocus lenses already:
