Late last year SG-image launched their first autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount, the SG-image AF 55mm f/1.8.
Now they will soon expand their offering by launching the SG-image AF 25mm F1.8.
Some specs as shared by the Chinese weibo account 独立摄影师联合会 here.
Just another lens from China without aperture ring… exactly what we needed ;). But hey, at least it comes with some fancy colors.
When I first shared rumors about a 1″ inch sensor Fujifilm half frame camera coming, plenty of readers attacked me saying I mislead people by calling it a half frame camera.
The logic: it’s just a regular 1″ sensor, so it is not a proper half frame camera.
But…
… if the fact that it has a vertical LCD
… and the fact that it is intended to mainly create diptych images
… is not enough
… then here is another hint…
… the name of the camera will be Fujifilm X-Half.
I guess Fujifilm won’t call it “X-Half” because it is half as big as a Fujifilm GFX100RF.
My humble guess is that it will carry the name “X-Half” because Fujifilm will market it as a half frame camera. And if we look at how it works, then this might even make sense.
What you see above is the first image of the Fujifilm Half Frame camera. I have received it via email a few hours ago.
We can see an exposure compensation dial, an optical viewfinder and f/2.4 maximum aperture.
The look resembles the one of the Leica M cameras.
The specs so far:
Wouldn’t it be nice if this was a proper Fujifilm X30 successor called Fujifilm X40 or Fujifilm X50, with a 1″ X-Trans sensor?
For months this new camera registration has remained undetected by everybody.
Undiscovered, until fellow FR-reader Mistral stumbled on it and passed us this info (THANKS).
So what it is about?
On the 26th of February 2025, the camera registration FF240003 was published.
And looking at the details and sketches of the camera, it has to be the long rumored Fujifilm half frame camera, which we first rumored in October 2024.
Here is what we can see:
Overall we can now say it will look closer to the digital version of the Pentax 17 half frame rather than the Yashica Samurai X3.0.
So now we have two unreleased camera registrations:
All of these cameras will still come in 2025.
But will there be even more? We investigated this question here.
