First info about the medium format X100VI clone: New 28mm lens design?

Fujirumors has gotten first solid info about the new fixed lens medium format camera coming in 2025:

Well, guided by our sources (THANKS), we can now say with certainty that it will be a 28mm equivalent lens. So the lens itself will give you a wider field of view than what you find for example in the lovely Fujifilm X100VI. It will be an f/3.2 lens, hence f/2.5 depth of field equivalent in full frame.

I personally love the idea of having a wider 28mm lens. We don’t have any other specs yet but my guess is that it will basically have the same GFX100II specs. Hope the price will not be too crazy high for this one.

A couple of interesting notes:

  • Kodak is taking the compact camera market by storm thanks ot their affordable cameras. Actually those are chinese made cameras with Kodak just selling their name to them.

Big surprise folks! Our rumor turned out to be true and the Nikon Z9 and Sony A1 the new Canon Flagship model is not High Resolution and High Speed model.

The R1 has a 24MP sensor and looks more like an updated Canon R3, which is rather disappointing. It surely is a superb sports photographers tool but not a jack of all trades. Will we ever see a Canon model above the R1 that has a high resolution sensor?
