Map Camera released its sales ranking for March and it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Fujifilm X100VI came out on top and likely will remain on top for some time to come until all orders are filled thanks to Fujifilm producing a large amount of cameras every month. The Fujifilm X-T5 remains on the charts too and should move up if they can ever get production numbers higher, which we covered in December 2023.
“FUJIFILM X100VI”, released on March 28th, took first place for the first time, beating out the second place and below. This is not surprising since the model was a hot topic even before its release, but…Various rumors were flying around even before the manufacturer’s announcement, and there were many inquiries about the map camera. Although the manufacturer has officially announced that the X100VI will be released, the important release date and pre-order start date are still undecided, making people even more nervous. And then, reservations finally started…but it really went by in a blink of an eye. We quickly reached the planned release number and were unable to accept any more orders. It is not yet determined when orders will be accepted again.

Viltrox 56mm f/1.7: Amazon / B&H Photo
Viltrox has released a lot of great autofocus lenses for X mount that often outperform similarly positioned first-party Fujinon glass so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Viltrox 56mm f/1.7 continues that tradition. When it comes to sharpness the Viltrox 56mm f/1.7 is impressively sharp even wide open on a 40MP body and it only has some slight pincushion distortion and vignetting that is autocorrected in the camera or your editor. The lens does have one weak point though which is autofocus performance, but that could improve with future firmware updates.
