I found it interesting because I spotted one lens, I think I have never reported about it here on FujiRumors, the Meike MK-6-11mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for FUJIFILM X. So I’ll catch up today, share it with you and update the Chinese lens list below.
So, top Fujifilm manager Toshi Ilda said it clearly here: “We will NEVER go Full Frame!”
NOTE: this is not an article against full frame. I just try to put myself in Fujifilm’s shoes and see what it would mean for them to go full frame.
Now, apart from the fact that I 100% agree with what CanonWatch said:
“Never say never, even if you’re making the best APS-C mirrorless cameras on the market“
Remember when Fujifilm said they will never be able to offer IBIS on Fuji X Mount cameras?
Anyway, Fuji says. there won’t be any full frame camera, and according to this huge FujiRumors poll, most of you guys agree with Mr. Toshi.
But imagine…
Imagine Fujifilm would go full frame tomorrow morning.
Mostly due to the slower full frame sensor readout compared to APS-C (as listed in our advantages of APS-C over Full Frame), it would be a Full Frame Fujifilm that:
According to a trusted source, the Fujifilm X-H2 will not hit the market in 2019.
This rumor seem to confirm our Fujifilm X Camera replacement timeline, which shows you when we can expect the Fujifilm X-H2, Fujifilm X-T4, Fujifilm X-E4, Fujifilm X-Pro3, Fujifilm X-T30, Fujifilm X200 (or Fujifilm X100V) based on Fuji’s camera refresh rate from 2011 to 2018.
So, the Fuji X-H2 is still a long way off, hence, if you want to get the latest and greatest in the most powerful package possible now, the Fujifilm X-T3 is the way to go. And if you want IBIS, ultra rugged body and ninja mechanical shutter, go for the Fujifilm X-H1.
And given that you guys now have a first reliable Fuji XH2 time frame, I decided to launch the poll again, where you can vote if you prefer to wait for the X-H2, or you go X-T3 instead.
Sainsonic has just announced two new Kamlan lenses for Fujifilm X Mount:
50mm f/1.1 MK II
21mm f/1.8
The Kamlan 21mm f/1.8 is now shipping at Adorama and AmazonUS (via Adorama)
We have covered the original Kamlan 50mmF1.1 several times here on FujiRumors. Just search for “Kamlan” on FujiRumors, and you will find plenty of reviews.
The Chinese lens manufacturers are stepping on the gas in the last few years, and releasing lots of lenses for various mirrorless systems, including Fujifilm X.
Meike is one of them, and they released several lenses under various names (Kaxinda/Opteka/Voking/Mcoplus) and very likely also Neewer, which is the lens we are going to present today.
