Fujifilm has finally released the long promised autofocus update for the Fujifilm X-H2, X-H2S and GFX100II. Also new features have been added and bugs fixed.
No firmware update for X-T5 & Co yet, but Fujifilm has also promised that one to come within 2024. So do not panic. It’s coming, too according to official Fujifilm statements.
Feel free to let us know in the comments what your impressions are.
Anamorphic autofocus lenses are the next big thing when it comes to cine lenses.
We already reported about the BLAZAR APEX 35mm T1.8 and a 50mm T1.8 1.33x anamorphic autofocus lenses which will also come for Fujifilm X mount (see a review by CineD below in video or at their website here).
Now also Sirui is entering this space with its own offering: the SIRUI 40mm T1.8 1.33X S35 autofocus anamorphic lens. The lens is now listed at Indiegogo and the campaign will go live on November 25.
Viltrox has a couple of Fujifilm X mount autofocus lenses in the pipeline for 2024:
Well, it looks like we have to add the Viltrox AF 56mm F1.7 XF to the list of future X mount autofocus lenses for the Fujifilm X mount.
The price of the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 XF should be similar to the one of the Viltrox AF 20mm F2.8 FE, which would be definitely a fantastic pricing as also highlighted by the Chinese Weibo account 独立摄影师联合会 who spotted the new lens.
So time for us to update the third party autofocus lens list for 2024:

CONTINUOUS VIDEO AUTOFOCUS
I have been contacted by an anonymous source, who told FujiRumors that Samyang/Rokinon does plan autofocus lenses for Fujifilm X mount and that they might come as soon as 2019.
I am a proud owner of the Fuji X-mount Samyang 12mmF2 lens, my go-to lens for astrophotography, and I can’t recommend this lens enough to every X-shooter. So I am definitely looking forward to these rumored Samyang autofocus lenses.
The Samyang/Rokinon autofocus lens for Fujifilm would not be the first third party lens with autofocus support for Fujifilm.
In fact, Viltrox already announced (and is taking pre-orders here) the Viltrox 85mmF1.8 X mount autofocus lens. And of course there is the Zeiss Touit Fujifilm X Mount Trinity.
At Photokina, I went hands on with a pre-production Viltrox 85mm F1.8 AF lens using a Fujifilm X-H1, and I share an autofocus video as well as JPEG and RAW samples to download here.
Since this rumor comes from an anoymous source (thanks for sharing), take it with a grain of salt for now. But consider that also my very best sources started (and often still are) anonymous sources, who use a nick name.
FEED YOUR FUJI ADDICTION HERE:
First of all, thank to everybody, who shares rumors 100% anonymously using the rumor box. If you’d use a nick-name when sharing, it would be incredible helpful for me. But if you prefer not to, that’s fine, too.
With that said, here is how I handle anonymous rumors.
Honestly, if I would share every fake rumors I get, I’d have at least 1 or 2 rumors to share a day.
But I prefer to keep my rumor-filter pretty strict, since FujiRumors shares about 100 rumors a year with almost 100% hit rate, and I would like to keep it that way.
Personally I have tried to find a balance between taking some risks and keeping a high accuracy, but you guys can tell me if you want me just to share everything I get, apply a preliminary filter at my discretion or share only trusted rumors. Vote the poll below.
