At the most recent Fujifilm X summit, Fujifilm announced “Fujifest“, a series of events all over the world to give customers the chance to play around with the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and other latest and greatest Fujifilm gear.
Now Fujifilm published the full list of countries and dates of the Fujifest 2019. You can see the full list down below.
As we reported here, for the sake of size and weight, Fujifilm canceled the Fujinon XF33mm f/1.0 from the roadmap and replaced it with a smaller Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0.
The new Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0 will be 35% smaller than the latest Fujinon XF33mm f/1.0 mock-up and also weight under 900 gram, as opposed to the 1.3 kg of the XF 33mm f/1.0.
So I thought I take the official Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0 images shared by Fujifilm here and compare its size with the Fujinon XF56mm f/1.2 and Fujinon XF 50mm f/2.
While this is as accurate as it gets, keep in mind that this is just an early prototype and the final version will surely see some changes.
According to the first results from our survey, you guys agree with Fuji’s choice to change focal length in order to make the lens smaller and lighter.

The Fujifilm X Summit live stream starts now (video above).
In case you are late, don’t worry, down below I will provide written live summary on what has been said and shown, so you don’t miss out anything.
Fujifilm just announced the Fujifilm X Summit for September 20 at 1PM GMT. This means it will take place at:
There will be a LIVE STREAMING here on FujiRumors.
Fujifilm writes about the event:
Following the first round in Dubai, we are pleased to announce that the second X Summit will be held on September 20th 1PM GMT!
This time, the X Summit will be held in Shibuya, Tokyo – the mecca of street photography in Tokyo. What will happen this time?
Make sure to tune in on September 20th.
Now, Fujifilm can’t tell you this, but of course they mean to stay tuned on FujiRumors for non stop real time coverage, just as we did last time back in February with the Dubai X Summit. ;)
So, make sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, RSS-feed, Youtube, Flipboard and Twitter.
Let’s take a look what Fujifilm did at the last Fujifilm X summit in Dubai:
That’s about it, and for a compact summary of the entire X Summit of February, just check out this article.
Now, you can see that Fujifilm actually did NOT announce any new gear at the last X summit, so chances are, that also this time we won’t get a full and final announcement of any new camera or lens.
In fact, our sources confirm that the final announcement with full specs and pre-orders for the Fujifilm X-Pro3 will happen on the second half of October.
However…
I know many of you are hoping to see a Fujifilm X-H2 or maybe a Fujifilm X-T3s with IBIS.
I have not heard about it, and if something like this comes, it was Fujifilm’s best kept secret ever. But yes, there is this third mysterious camera registered, and if it comes out 2019, then I honestly have no idea what it could be.
You guys, though, seem to be much more confident: you see high chances for a Fujifilm X-H2 or X100V (but X100V will surely come in 2020 only)
What can be expect more realistically?
Well, the main course of the meal could be other things, like:
Also, there will be several Fujifilm managers to go on stage and give us technical insights, disclose further projects, show even more mock-ups and more. Also gifted photographers like Bert Stephani, David Hobby and Tomasz Lazar will be there.
One thing is sure:
September 20 will be a very exciting day for the Fujifilm community, and my fast fingers will cover the event at 360° non stop, to make sure you at home don’t miss a single tidbit.

What crazy days we had, triggered by the wonderful Fujifilm X Summit.
Fujifilm managers, engineers and designers explained their work, gave interesting insights and answered live questions of their customers.
Fujifilm even publicly asked us which lenses and firmware we would like next, letting us vote on various options (with overwhelming response by the FujiRumors community).
The X Summit shows, that the way Fujifilm interacts, listens and follows to customer needs, is more unique than rare, and it’s one more reason to fall in love with Fujifilm!
In case you missed it, make sure to check out our compact Fujifilm X Summit summary.
Fujifilm did an amazing job, customers answered in the best way possible, and for what it’s worth, I’ve also tried to honour the event by working restlessly and publishing 14 articles over the last weekend.
However, it seems that not everybody was able to keep track of it all, since I start to get emails from readers notifying me about news I have already published.
So I thought a quick recap could help:
Fun fact: at the X Summit Fujifilm said they will cooperate with Adobe for better X-Trans support, and four days later came this news:
