XF33mmF1.0 rumors

Prestige production without an economic return is a very luxurious undertaking for a  brand which makes most of its money in sectors that are not digital photography. 

 

IF your pension fund has invested in Fuji stock I am sure that they will demand the company to make money and not losing any, prestige or no prestige.

Despite the fact that all these arguments look quite convincing I'm  still sad. Is Fugi going to do something about it? ;)

Well, just because there is a rumor that the rumored 33 mm f/1 is off the development schedule does not mean it, or something like it, will never be produced.

 

The lens could be back on the roadmap a year from now as Fujifilm finishes off some of the other lens projects. What if Fujifilm decided to make a f/1 video lens between 30 mm and 40 mm? There is also a possibility the old 35 mm f/1.4 could be refreshed and enlarged to a f/1 to better separate it from the 35 f/2's market. The f/2 WR lenses have a lot of attraction for those who do not have the older lenses so Fujifilm is likely wondering whether to retire the sub-f/2 lenses or rework them sometime in the future into lenses without so much overlap in use. Adding WR, increasing focus speed, and bulking them up with larger elements must surely have been discussed internally because the f/2s cannibalize new sales of the previous generation.

 

Do not give up hope.

    • Some elements in (autofocus) lenses are „floating“, so I guess what you are experiencing is normal.
    • How do I turn off the electronic shutter in the menu - the option is grayed out and I cannot select the mechanical option
    • I'm having trouble finding a way to attach a right-angle viewfinder to the Fuji X-H1 camera. Does anyone have experience with how the angle viewfinder behaves in combination with the EVF? Is the Minolta frame diameter of the right angle viewfinder suitable for attaching to the Fuji XH1 (or XT1, 2, 3, 5)? Does anyone have knowledge about which eyepiece is compatible with the Fuji X system? Thank you in advance for any assistance and information you can provide.    
    • I purchased a gently used XF 80mm f/2.8 aspherical macro for my X-T5. Not being familiar with this lens but having had experience with the Leica T mount 60mm macro and Canon and Zeiss macros, I was surprised that I felt what might be best described as a loose lens element that shifted when I tilted the lens, even before being mounted to the camera. In manual focus mode, the lens is fine, but there is a distinct “wobble” when the lens is in autofocus mode. I reported this to the company (I bought it from KEH), and they agreed this was odd and accepted it back for a full refund. I just got a replacement lens and the same thing is happening. I’ve never had an experience in which I feel a lens element loose inside the housing. Is this normal? Should I return it (again)?
    • Old post but hope this can help. You have to make sure that exp. comp. is set to zero in P, S or A mode before you go in to manual mode. If the comp is set to, let say +5, and this is of the range for the settings in manual mode, twisting the comp dial (left dial) want do any changes.
