Fuji registered a new “X-H” trademark

Fuji registered a new “X-H” trademark at the European intellectual propriety office. Fuji says this trademarked name will be used for:

“Digital cameras; lenses for digital cameras; digital camera flashes; cases adapted for digital cameras; straps for digital cameras; image sensors for digital cameras.”

We don’t know yet what the “X-H” line will look like. My guess: The “H” could stand for “hybrid” and the rumored video oriented X-camera.

Technical note: The company that filed the patent is Brevalex from Amsterdam. They usually file trademarks for Fuji (example here).

A couple of weeks ago we reported that Opteka is developing five new manual focusing lenses for the Sony E-mount, Fuji X-mount, Olympus and Panasonic Micro Four Thirds, Canon EOS-M mount, and Nikon CX mount systems.

Well their first lens that will go into production is the Opteka 6.5mm f/2 HD Multi-Coated Circular Fisheye Lens. Those are the specs:

Features:
6 elements in 5 groups
9 aperture blades
1.9” (0.05m) minimum focus distance

Unlike current Opteka lenses (here on Amazon) these lenses are designed for mirrorless cameras only.
