Ten Lens Designs Fujifilm is Studying

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 23, 2024


Lesnumeriques attended a Fujifilm presentation at CP+ where they discussed 10 lenses they are studying to possibly put into production. Lesnumeriques also confirmed that Fujifilm is still working on the Fujinon GF 500mm f/5.6 that will provide the GFX system with an effective focal length of 400mm which I could have used when I shot the solar eclipse. If the GF500mm is affordable at launch I’m going to have to grab one to shoot the next eclipse with.

Fujifilm X100VI, X100V, XF200mm, XF150-600mm, and GF20-50mm Cross Sections

CP+ 2024 kicked off right after the X Summit and Fujifilm has a few cross-sections on display at the event including the Fujifilm X100VI, X100V, XF200mm, XF150-600mm, and GF20-50mm. It’s interesting to see how the density of the layers in Fujifilm X100VI has increased over the X100V that doesn’t have IBIS. The lens cutaways are also interesting, but It would be interesting to see how the Fujinon XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R WR moves through its zoom range internally.

Fujifilm News: Fujifilm X100VI Production Volume and House of Photography Metaverse Project

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 22, 2024

B&H Photo / Amazon (Silver : Black) / Moment / Adorama

The nikkei published a report about Fujifilm’s initial production volume for the Fujifilm X100VI and it doesn’t sound like enough. Fujifilm is prepared to produce 15,000 X100VI a month which is double the volume of the X100V, which was already a very popular camera that was impossible to find.

Fujifilm also launched the House of Photography in the Metaverse today and they anticipate providing service to 500,000 users this year. Fujifilm will staff its Metaverse presence with representatives to provide free consultations on camera purchases, repairs, and more.

CineD: Fujifilm X100VI Launch Interview – Why China, X100VI Production Volume, and Cinima Camera?

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 22, 2024

B&H Photo / Amazon (Silver : Black) / Moment / Adorama

CineD always has some great interviews with Fujifilm and the above is no different so feel free to give it a watch or check out the key points below

  • X100VI is for photo enthusiasts who don’t like to compromise on image quality and it appeals to film photographers
  • First camera with ND and IBIS and it wasn’t difficult to do because the ND filter is part of the shutter mechanism
  • It would not be easy to do both in an interchangeable-lens camera because of the way the space in the image sensor stack works out
  • Fujifilm X100V was very popular and sold exceptionally well so Fujifilm doubled their capacity
  • Fujifilm has its highest manufacturing capacity in China, most of the camera parts come from China, and China’s manufacturing quality is equivalent to Japan’s so it made sense to manufacture the camera in China
  • REALA ACE will come to other 5th-generation cameras
  • Fujifilm is aware that customers want a Fujifilm Cinema Camera, but there are no concrete plans at the moment, but it could change tomorrow
  • Next X Summit in Sydney Australia

They finished up with please everyone buy this camera, but sales have been very strong by all accounts so the plea is really really unnecessary.
