Sigma 100-400mmF5.0-6.3 and Sigma 23mmF1.4 Announcement Imminent – Price Leaked and Better Specs than Sony Version

A new source contacted us via the revived rumor box (using a nickname, thanks!!!), and has passed us the information that the announcement of the Sigma 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 and Sigma 23mm f/1.4 will happen in just a few hours.

It also gave us the following details:

  • 100-400 with 5 stops stabilization (1 more than E- and L-Mount)
  • 999€ (100-400) and 499€ (23mm) in Europe

Thanks to our new source for sharing this. You’ll be elevated to trusted source status in a few hours ;). Feel free to keep up using the rumor box and your nickname for future rumors, or also contact me via fujirumor@gmail.com in case you want to interact with me so we can talk rumors behind the scenes. Many thanks again!

The Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN was pre-announced back in April here, whereas the Sigma 100-400mm f5.0-6.3 DG DN OS was first rumored on FujiRumors here.

BREAKING: This is the Name of the New Film Simulation Coming September 12

According to our trusted sources (thanks!) that the new film simulation coming September 12 will be called REALA.

The Reala film stock (sold with the name Reala Ace and Reala Superia and discontinued in 2012), was a aimed at professional and enthusiast photographers and it was Fuji’s first film with 4th layer technology for exceptional color accuracy, especially in fluorescent lighting (no greenish cast). The 4th layer technology would make also the 400H film so popular.

The original film was very loved by wedding photographers and seems to be ready to make its comeback in form of a new film simulation.

Let’s hope it will find its way in as many older Fujifilm cameras as possible. But so far I have no rumors about any firmware updates in this regard.

Which Film Simulation Would You Like to Get Next?

We have shared the rumor that Fujifilm will launch a new film simulation on September 12.

So the question now is: which film would you like to get on Fujifilm cameras in digital format with the next film simulation*?

It does not have to be an original Fujifilm film stock, but it can be inspired by film of any brand.

Just note that if Fujifilm would use a competitors’ film stock as base for the new film simulations, for legal reasons they  would change the name into something else.

For example, Classic Chrome is inspired by Kodak emulsions as Fuji insiders explained us here.

So, feel free to let us know in the comments down below what you’d like to see next.

*usually film simulations are inspired by film emulsions (Velvia & Co), or by certain photographic movements, as it was the case for the “American New Color” inspiration for Nostalgic Negative (full story here).

 

Fujifilm to Launch New Film Simulation on September 12

Usually it goes like this.

Fujifilm launches a new sensor/processor platform and gives us a new film simulation along with it.

But that did not happen with the launch of the Fujifilm X-H2S back in May 2022, and also not with all the other 5th generation gear that followed (X-H2, X-T5, X-S20).

That sucked, and I started moaning about it after the last X summit in May 2023.

But things are finally going to change on September 12.

According to our trusted sources, Fujifilm will launch a new film simulation on September 12.

One more thing to look forward to on September 12.
