Rumor : Fujinon XF 18-120mm f/4 Lens Announcement on May 31

Fujifilm announced that it will hold the X Summit OMIYA 2022 new product launch conference on May 31, 2022 at 10:00 PM (JST). Fujifilm XF 18-120mm f/4 lens will be announced alongside the new Fujifilm products. Here are the details.

The Fujifilm X-H2 will be the first X-series camera to introduce a new sensor and new image processor. As we reported earlier the highly anticipated Fujifilm X-H2s and X-H2 cameras are expected to be announced separately. The Fujifilm X-H2S is the 26 megapixel stacked sensor X-H2. The high resolution Fujifilm X-H2 with 40 megapixel will be launched after the Fujifilm X-H2S. We certainly will not get the full announcement of the Fujifilm X-H2 high resolution or the Fujinon XF56mm f/1.2 MKII. However good news is that we will meet the XF 18-120mm f/4 Lens.

The first details of this telephoto zoom lens were mentioned in the latest Fujifilm Lens Roadmap.

A high-magnification zoom lens with a focal length of 18-120mm (35mm equivalent: 27-183mm equivalent). For the first time in the “XF Lens”, it is equipped with a function that supports full-scale movie shooting with one operation. We support a wide range of needs from still image shooting to video shooting.

In addition to these familiar details upcoming XF18-120mm will feature Fixed f/4 Aperture.

Nikon Z9 is the Best-Selling Professional Mirrorless Camera in Q1 of 2022

Market data from The NPD Group has confirmed that the Nikon Z9 was the best-selling professional flagship full-frame mirrorless camera in the first quarter of 2022 with a 57% market share.

This data is based on a comparison of US unit sales of full-frame mirrorless cameras with an average selling price of $5,000 and above in the first three months of 2022. The Nikon Z9 competitors in this price range are mainly the “Canon EOS R3” and “Sony a1“, but did you mean that there was more demand for high-end models than other companies? If you think calmly, the competitors have other choices of high-end models such as “Canon EOS R5” and “Sony a7R IV / a9 II“, so there is no need to forcibly buy the highest-end model that exceeds $ 5,000. There may be a reason.

Nikon Z9 body: $5,496.95 at AmazonB&HAdorama.
