Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0 Available by the End of 2020: Fastest Autofocus Lens in Production Bokeh Sample and New Product Images

One of the most anticipated lenses, coming for Fujifilm X mount, is surely the Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0.

At the recent Fujifilm X Summit, Fujifilm showed us a working sample including an autofocus demo at minute 43:07 in the live stream video, but that works with CDAF only. The final version will support PDAF.

But even with CDAF only, the live demo showed a rather confident focusing lens.

Fujifilm also showed a sample image of the bokeh, and you can find the screenshot of it down below.

They also disclosed some details:

  • XF 50mm f/1.0 is coming this year
  • more beautiful bokeh than the XF56mm f/1.2
  • XF50mm f/1.0 rear lenses work for autofocus
  • they show a protoype, which currently works only in contrast AF
  • 77 mm filter size

Also, the folks at digitalcameraworld had a post launch private meeting with Fujifilm, where they could handle the Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0, and they have been told:

The 50mm f/1.0 will not just one of the fastest lenses ever, but will be THE fastest autofocus lens in production. It will also share the record as the fastest autofocus lens ever with the legendary Canon EF 50mm f/1.0 L USM lens which was produced for film SLRs during the 1990s.

this innovative prime will be available to buy by then end of the year.

Also, dpreview says here:

  • weight under 1 kilo
  • minumum aperture f/16

So, we must arm ourselves with a little bit more of patience.

I remind you that Fujifilm will release 3 more lenses this year. We launched the discussion in this article.

I am working on this. Expect updates on fujirumors.com…. :).

Fujifilm to Release 3 New X Mount lenses within 2020 (in addition to XF50mmF1) – Your Guess in the Comments

In the latest X summit here, Fujifilm said they will launch 4 more X mount lenses within 2020 (at some point the manager also said “within the next 12 months“, which could possibly mean within very early 2021).

But anyway, 4 lenses are coming soon.

We know for sure, that one is the Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0, which you can see working prototypes of in the X summit live stream (go to minute 43:07).

But which one are the remaining 3 lenses?

FujiRumors is working on it, and we are confident we will soon be able to give you updates on the upcoming lenses.

For now, just let us know which 3 additional lenses do you think Fujifilm will add to the roadmap. Let’s test your “rumor-intuition-skills“. :)

And just in case it happens you really know the 3 secret lenses, you can always drop me an email at fujirumor@gmail.com. The worldwide Fujifilm community would be grateful for a bit of extra excitement ahead the Fujifilm X-T4 launch on February 26 at 2 PM Tokyo time.

So, fellow FR readers: sit down, relax, and enjoy the time here on FujiRumors, as I have the feeling we will have lots to talk about in the next 2 weeks :).

That lens can’t come soon enough!

Other than that, I hear just great things about the “House of Photography”, which also hosts the famous Markus Klinko exhibtion about David Bowie.

So if you are one of the lucky FR-readers living in London or around, definitely go there as soon as you can.

New Fujinon XF 50mm f/1.0 Hands-On Images and Accurate Size Comparison with XF 33/1.0, 56/1.2, 50/2, 90/2, 16-55/2.8

Fujinon XF 50mm f/1.0

As you know, Fujifilm canceled the Fujinon XF33mm f/1.0 in favor of the Fujinon XF 50mm f/1.0. As Fujifilm explained at the Fujifilm X Summit, the change was necessary in order to save size, weight (and I’ll add also price).

FujiRumors already made an accurate size comparison between the XF 50mm f/1.0 and the XF56/1.2, XF50/2, XF90/2 and XF16-55/2.8 in this article.

Now new hands on images of the Fujinon XF 50mm f/1.0 appeared on weibo via camerabeta, and you can see them all down below.

Is it a good Idea to change from XF33mmf/1.0 to XF50mmf/1.0 to save size and weigth?
