It looks like Fujifilm will have a packed schedule at Photokina this year, with non-stop live talks and studio demos September 20th-25th. You can see the schedule here, along with links to all of the featured Fujifilm X-Photographers that will be giving talks.

I’m careful about keeping my equipment clean and OP/Tech’s new double lens mount cap system seems like it might help photographers protect their valuable glass. The built in protective O ring should provide a good seal to keep dust/moisture out of your lens mount better than a stock cap and the double sided design could help with switching between lenses quickly if you keep the inside of your bag very clean. The OP/Tech double sided lens mount is currently available for preorder at B&H Photo.
Fujifilm released a firmware update for the SP-2 that addresses issues with printing directly to the X-Pro2, X-T2, X-T1, X-T10, X-E2S, X-E2, X-M1, X-A3, X-A2, X-A1, X100T, XQ2, XQ1, X70, X30, FinePix F1000EXR, Wonder Photo Box. You can find directions on how to install the new firmware update via the Fujifilm Instax Share App Here.
Fuji Guy videos generally rehash a lot of what we already know, but sometimes they drop new detail for us like that there will be a Fujinon XF 50 f2 that will complete a trio of lenses along side the Fujinon XF 23 and XF 35 f2 lenses, which will now be called the designer series. The new designer series seems a lot like Leica’s Summicron and Summarit line up. Billy also covers the new Fujifilm X-A3 in great detail if it is a camera that interests you, but I thought the new lens announcement was the biggest new detail the video reveals.
The same day we broke the news that Fujifilm X-T2 is now final the Fujifilm Camera Remote App has been updated. Maybe the late August shipping date B&H Photo published isn’t overly optimistic for a few Fujifilm X-T2 preorders. Lets hope that retailers don’t sit on any incoming inventory for long before for filling orders.
Zed ProMedia asks Fujifilm if the Fujifilm XT-2 is final production and the representative says yes. Maybe the recent video we saw was on final firmware. They also cover the Fujifilm EF-X500 in-depth if you’re interested how the new flash system will work.
