Fujifilm just published the second episode of their X Lab series (you can see the first one here).
It’s again in Japanese, and google translate struggles, with cryptic translations.
Luckily also this time a fellow Japanese speaking FR-reader translated it for us (thanks!).
Back in May, Viltrox issued a statement that their X Mount AF lenses can damage the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and FujiRumors later on reported about a free return service Viltrox offered.
Now they are redesigning those lenses, so that they won’t damage your X-Pro3 anymore (see damage in this post).
Just a few days, Viltrox has also released a MK II version of the 85mm f/1.8. Now the updated Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 AF has been released too.

I have received an email from a fellow member of our Fujifilm Astrophography facebook group, which said:
I was thinking you could perhaps share some of the pics taken on the FB group “Astrophotography with Fujifilm” that you manage. Lots of awesome pictures there! We often hear you need an expensive full frame camera or big telescope, but that’s just wrong, as this group suggests.
That would be great to attract more Fuji shooters to this group, it’s a very nice community where we help each other and learn from our experiences.
Astro can be daunting for the newbie, but it shouldn’t. Also, there aren’t a lot of Fuji shooters in the astro community, so I’m sure it could spread the virus — the good one!
Oh well, here it is.
Have fun and may this post inspire you to try your luck with the stars, too :).
I apologize, because…
… I try and I think I succeed to reply to every single one of the 20+ emails and personal messages I get every single day.
However, not always I am able to give you the comprehensive reply you’d deserve, for a simple reason: time!
In fact, I have day job as a teacher and I run FujiRumors totally alone. Hence, in order to be able to reply to everyone with the limited time I have left, sometimes I just must give a shorter reply, even if often your emails would deserve a comprehensive answer.
Now, some of the most interesting emails I get, are those, with input, ideas and wishes for future Fujifilm products.
And since also to those emails, often I can’t reply as comprehensively as I’d love to, I had the idea to share them with the entire FujiRumors community, and extend the discussion to all of you.
Last time we discussed:
Today I’d have selected a few more of those wishes.
So, if anyone reading this is interested, feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments.
You have wishes about the Fujifilm future, too? Well, then write me at fujirumor@gmail.com.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Patrick

Fujifilm X webcam for Mac has now been released. This software allows to run all tethering capable Fujifilm cameras as a webcam (all except X-T1, as that one has too old hardware).
The compatible Fujifilm cameras are: GFX100, GFX 50S, GFX 50R, X-H1, X-Pro2, X-Pro3, X-T2, X-T3, X-T4.
You can download Fujifilm X Webcam for Mac here.
Now, Fujifilm offers two different “webcam” solutions:
We have listed the differences between both solution in this article.

Half a year of rumors is over, and it was probably the most successful we ever had on FujiRumors.
With a total amount of 44 rumors shared, we are currently sharing more rumors than ever in the years before.
The Fujifilm X-T4 was without a doubt the big one in 2020, and I frankly can’t remember if FR ever leaked so much about one single camera, as we did with the Fujifilm X-T4.
At this point BIG thanks to all our sources, for helping me to keep the Fuji X community on fire. Being a Fuji X/GFX shooter is just more fun, if every now and then we get something hot to talk about… ;).
But…
Sharing rumors is one thing, sharing accurate rumors is another. And since we don’t want you to believe in fake rumors like the death of Fujifilm X-H2 or fake X-T3 firmware leak 4.00, we try to honor the time you decide to spend reading FujiRumors by delivering dry and verified rumors.
Did it work out well so far in 2020?
Let’s check it:
What a day!
Fujifilm has released:
In all this buzz, I’d like to highlight one interview made by Cinema5D to top Fujifilm manager Makoto San.
The talk mainly gravitates towards the new ProRes RAW support for Fujifilm GFX100, but they touch also on other topics, which is why I want to highlight this interview in a dedicated post.
Interview Summary
While probably many of you were sleeping, Fujifilm made two things happen:
Now the Fuji Guys have released a follow up video to the new X-T200 and X-A7 webcam feature, that you can see down below.
Here is what they say about the new X-A7/X-T200 webcam feature (not to mistake with Fujifilm X webcam software).
Down below you can read what is different by using Fujifilm X Webcam compared to the X-A7/X-T200 solution described above.
So, Fujifilm X Webcam gives you still more control, but given how reliable Fuji’s eye autofocus has become (and I talk from experience, as I used it a lot for my video-online lessons), I would feel totally confident to go full auto.
However, having a webcam that outputs ETERNA and higher qualiy video is great.
So, between the two, I’d still go with Fujifilm X webcam, and make the few extra setting changes in camera.
But hey, let me know what you guys prefer by voting the survey down below:
