BREAKING: There Will be Two Fujifilm X-H2 Cameras Coming 2022

Fujifilm X-H2 + Fujifilm X-H2

Back in 2018/2019, “rumors” were circulating that the Fujifilm X-H line is dead.

And despite FujiRumors immediately debunking them as fake clickbait, they kept circulating and growing for many months.

But while I was sure there will be a Fujifilm X-H2 one day (although, as I told you in 2018, the wait would be very long), I didn’t see that one coming!

According to our trusted sources, Fujifilm has not one (1) but two (2) Fujifilm X-H2 cameras scheduled for release in 2022.

So, not only the X-H line is not dead, but Fujifilm will double down on it.

Of course this now complicates things a bit.

In fact, FujiRumors has already shared first specs and price indications about the Fujifilm X-H2 (list below). But now I have to figure out if it applies to both Fujifilm X-H2 cameras.

For example, will both Fujifilm X-H2 cameras feature an X-Trans sensor? Will both cameras cost below $2,500?

Let me figure this out now and stay tuned on FujiRumors for the latest Fujifilm X-H2 updates.

IMPORTANT: Huge Fujifilm announcements on September 2 at 9AM New York Time! Will we get Fujifilm X-H2 tidbits? I don’t know, but I certainly hope so.

Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 vs XF35mmF1.4 Size Comparison [UPDATED – And WHY]

Yesterday I have shared [quote] “an approximate size comparison between the upcoming Fujinon XF33mm f/1.4 R LM WR and the glorious XF35mm f/1.4 R.”

Well, today I have to share a minor update to the original size comparison. The latest comparison can be seen above.

Now, as you can see, there is not much difference. The Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 R LM WR is sensibly bigger than the Fujinon XF35mmF1.4 R. However, in today’s size comparison, it is a tiny bit smaller than in yesterday’s mockup.

But in any case, if you desire a super fast autofocus, ultra high resolution and weather resistant lens, the XF33mm f/1.4 will be inevitably bigger than the the XF35mmF1.4.

I can hear you, why the (minor) adjustment in size today?

Well, it’s pretty simple.

I have made a couple of size comparisons taking the Fujinon XF18mmF1.4 as a base (I just changed the number “18 with “33”) and resized it in different versions. I have submitted those to sources asking which one they think could be the most accurate. I ended up with the recommendation of the mockup you can see today. However, yesterday I erroneously picked the wrong mockup. My sources noticed this, and asked me to correct it.

I apologize for that and I hope you value at least that it took me less than 24 hours to rectify my little error. ;)

And yet, it may be an error, but it doesn’t change the substance: the XF33mmF1.4 is and will be noticeably bigger than the XF35mmF1.4. Which is one of the reasons why FujiRumors always told you that this lens is NOT a replacement for the original XF35mmF1.4.

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-T30II has No IBIS and is “More or Less an X-T30 on Firmware Steroids”

We already told you that Fujifilm will launch the Fujifilm X-T30II.

Now sources reached out to us and told us that it will be “more or less a Fujifilm X-T30 on firmware steroids“.

Another source (thanks) told me that it won’t have IBIS, which is one of the features many thought would be added on the X-T30II.

End of rumor… and now, dear X-T30 owners, be kind to Fujifilm in the comments if you want to get Kaizen love ;).

P.S.: Yep, I once told you the X-E4 would be the last X-Trans 4 camera. Now we have this one. But now you also get it why the X-E4 is really the last X-Trans IV camera, as this one is an X-T30 with new firmware. But don’t worry, I’ll move it into my wrong rumors list anyway.

Fujifilm X-H2 Coming with New X-Trans Sensor: My Thoughts and Your Vote!

Thanks to our sources, we know it: the Fujifilm X-H2 will feature a new X-Trans sensor!

What we also know, is that the Fujifilm X-H2 will be Fujifilm’s first camera to feature a new sensor and processor.

So here is quickly what I think about it.

Now, both color filter arrays have their strengths and weaknesses. We have written about it more in detail here. In short we could sum it up like this:

  • Bayer Array: better for more features
  • X-Trans Array: better for image quality

Again, this is a brutal simplification. If you want to understand it better, definitely read this article.

EXCLUSIVE: Fujifilm X-H2 with X-Trans or Bayer? The Answer Now on FujiRumors!

Who said the X-H line is dead? ;)

Well, certainly not FujiRumors, who warned you from all the fake X-H line is dead “rumors” already back in 2018.

The Fujifilm X-H line is not dead at all. In fact, the Fujifilm X-H2 will come, and FujiRumors has already shared a few rumors about it:

But one question I’ve often received remained unanswered (until today): will the Fujifilm X-H2 have an X-Trans sensor or a Bayer sensor?

I know this is such a divisive topic in the Fujifilm community, that no matter which choice Fujifilm makes, some will be inevitably disappointed whereas others will be happy. And I get it, as both color filter arrays have their strengths and weaknesses, as we explain here.

But now it’s time for you to know.

The Fujifilm X-H2 will feature a new X-Trans sensor.

Hold on tight guys, as more rumors will come about the Fujifilm X-H2.

But don’t get too distracted by the X-H2, as on September 2 at 9AM New York Time there will be huge Fujifilm announcements!

We will cover it all live and non stop here on fujirumors.com. And here is what you can expect:

Keep an eye on our dedicated X and GFX rumor section for the latest updates.

TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 Macro Review

FujiRumors has already shared the TTArtisan lens short-mid term roadmap for Fujifilm X and GFX mount, and it contains a few very nice options, including the first TTArtisan autofocus lens for Fujifilm. You can check it our here.

One lenses on the roadmap and scheduled for September release is the TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 Macro lens.

Well, fellow X shooter pal2tech has already got his hands on the TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 macro. Above you can see the full video and below summary:

  • to cost around $100/150
  • strange, flat and thin lens cap
  • lens hood is not included
  • very tight aperture ring
  • 8 elements in 7 groups
  • 11 aperture blades
  • f/2.8 to f/16
  • 372 gram weight
  • not electronically controled lens. All manual lens and no EXIF lens data saved
  • solidly build lens
  • very nice focus ring
  • clear markings
  • filter size 52
  • 70cm minimum focus distance
  • at f/2.8 there is some vignetting and center is quite soft
  • at f/4 it gets much better
  • even better at f/5.6, but it still a bit soft of the corners
  • corners improve at f/8. Best aperture for this lens
  • no chromatic aberration issues
  • pretty good job of subject isolation at f/2.8
  • color rendition slightly on the cooler side
  • not recommended for professional macro work. You’ll need optical quality of the Fujinon XF80mm F2.8
  • but for prosumers it is a viable option
