Fujifilm has officially released the new X mount roadmap.
No surprises, everything as rumored.
As we told you, there is no XF27mm F2.8 MK II in there. But that lens will definitely come along with the Fujifilm X-E4 in early 2021.
Down below the official press release:
According to a last second rumor shared by a trusted source, Fujifilm will announce a new firmware for Fujifilm X-T3 very shortly during the Fujifilm X Summit.
The X Summit will start at 9AM New York time, and we will live stream the even here on FujiRumors.
What else will come (and what not) is listed in this overview article.
Pre-Order Open Very Soon!

Hey guys!
In just a few hours (9AM New York time) Fujifilm will present you all a brand new Fujinon X mount roadmap at the Fujifilm X Summit (which we will live stream here on FujiRumors).
FujiRumors has already leaked all the upcoming lenses for you:

So, please, DO NOT PANIC, when you don’t see the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 MKII on the roadmap. The new 27 will 100% surely come, and it will come along with the Fujifilm X-E4, which, as we told you yesterday, will be launched in early 2021.
All the other lenses we rumored here on FujiRumors will be added to the roadmap.

To our customers
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) plans to release free firmware update for the “FUJIFILM X-T3” (X-T3) on October 28, 2020.
The update will improve the autofocusing performance of the X-T3 to the same level as the “FUJIFILM X-T4” (X-T4). This firmware will boost the AF speed, the camera’s AF tracking performance and the Face / Eye AF. In addition, the size of the AF area can now be adjusted during video recording. The update will bring new life to the X-T3, adding greater speed to make a great camera even better.
The Fujifilm X summit in Omiya is about to start (October 15 at 9AM New York Time).
Feel free to stay tuned on FujiRumors, where we will cover the event live.
Thanks to our sources and past leaks on FujiRumors, we have a pretty clear idea what could happen. But it’s possible that there will be surprises, too.
So let’s run over it and see what we expect, what not and what we hope.
Pre-Order Open Very Soon!
→ WHAT WE EXPECT
→ WHAT WE DON’T EXPECT
→ WHAT WE HOPE
To be clear, there are no rumors I have in this case. This is just a mere wishlist of mine.
→ WHAT IS SURE
Sure is, we are going to have a lot of fun today… so definitely follow us here on FujiRumors ;)

Here is another roundup of wishlist shared by the FR-community to me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com.
Previous Wishlist Episodes:
Because it touches the wish expressed by Michel, Willy and Kenneth, I invite you to check out also our big Fujinon XF wildlife photography survey and other long telephoto primes articles we have previously shared (list below).
Overall, there seems to be a strong wish by the FR-community for longer primes.
But we know the stellar Fujinon XF200mm f/2.0 did not sell well, and hence it’s obvious that Fujifilm is now a bit reluctant to invest further in long lenses.
But keep in mind, the XF200mmF2.0 comes with a 1.4x teleconverter designed specifically for this lens, which transforms the XF200mmF2 lens basically in a 280mmF2.8 lens. So, with 1 single lens, here is what you get:
If you want to, you can check out our previous “long telephoto primes” related articles.
I also got many wishes regarding future cameras, but since this roundup is already hefty enough, I will share the “camera-wishlist” at a later point.

As you might know, in 2020 I added new gear to my Fujifilm X collection: the Fujifilm X-T4 and the XF56mmF1.2.
The Fujifilm X-T4 turned out to be a great investment already just for the COVID-19 online teaching I had to do.
I am not he biggest fan of the selfie screen (for the reasons I elaborated here), and for my needs the 3-way tilt screen is clearly superior, but other than that it’s such a powerful machine, that sometimes I find myself grabbing it over my X-E3, just because of sheer performance-boost it gives me.
As for the XF56mmF1.2, it was supposed to get heavy use at my friends’ wedding, but due to COVID-19, it has been postponed to next year. And since overall we try to be careful and avoid crowded events and gatherings of people, where the XF56mmF1.2 would shine to take some candid portraits, I used it less than I would have wanted. But I use it, even if just for taking pictures of my old dog in a lonely forest, and I love its output. Although, I must admit, the XF50mmF1.0 is my new forbidden dream already.
Damn, life with GAS is complicated :).
Anyway, with new gear joining my X arsenal, other gear had to go.
Hence, here is what I just shipped to new owners:
The reason is simple: since I own my travel go-to lens, the XF18-135mmF3.5-5.6, the 18-55 and 55-200 didn’t get as much use anymore. And yes, the 18-55 and 55-200 might still be optically a bit superior to my 18-135, but my XF18-135 sample is also very good, giving me a super-zoom range that is more than enough for my needs, basically replacing them both, the 18-55 and 55-200.
And then there is my X-T1.
I put it up for sale for €290, but that’s hard to sell. It’s an X-T1 without mushy buttons, with super-sticky rubber, no light-leak… a perfect X-T1. But while the lenses sold like hot cakes within 24 hours, the X-T1 is still there for sale.
But more gear will be put on sale I guess. Why? Down below the list of gear I own, and what will probably be sold next… and what I will keep.
I am 100% sure that the XF10-24mmF4 MK II and the XF27mmF2.8 MK II are coming. After the announcement of those lenses, Fujifilm will probably drop prices on the MK I versions, just as they significantly dropped the price on the XF56mmF1.2 right after the XF50mmF1.0 announcement.
Hence, if you are considering to get the MK II version, you might be better off selling the MK I sooner rather than later.
Also, I am in the market for at least one more lens. And I will ask you a clear and specific recommendation. But not now. Time will come pretty soon, when you’ll be able to guide me through my buying decision, just as you did with the X-T4 and XF56mmF1.2.
Until then, take care, stay safe, and have fun with whatever gear you use.

A Fujifilm manager said back in February 2020, that, within the next 12 months, there will be 4 new Fujinon X mount lenses.
One of them is the Fujinon XF50mmF1.0, which will be announced very soon, on September 3rd.
And thanks to our sources, we also already leaked the following lenses:
And today we are going to share the last one to come, the…
So, the complete Fujifilm roadmap for the next few months is the following:
So, my job is done. FR unveiled it all for you. Now feel free to do what you can do best here on FujiRumors: commenting and letting us know what you think about it!
My opinion?
Well, the Fujinon XF10-24 is a great lens already (and I own it), but there were two things I never understood:
I strongly hope that Fujifilm will implement those two features on the upcoming Fujinon XF10-24mm MK II.

One of the privileges I have running FujiRumors, is that I get to (virtually) meet thousands of Fujifilm X shooters every year.
I get all sorts of questions, feedback, ideas, feature requests and more.
I really try to do my best to answer you all, and one of the things I really enjoy, is that I can give additional exposure to Fujifilm X and GFX shooters out there, by sharing roundups like this.
Sure, it’s a hell of a work, but I feel it’s a nice way I can give back something to the FujiRumors community, which is always so numerous and wonderfully active here.
The content to share is still massive, so I stepped a bit on the gas, and, in addition to the mixed zone I have shared recently, here is another dedicated Fujinon lens roundup… and more will come.
