How2Fly predicted two rumors lately: That this week Tamron would announce a new wide angle lens and that Nikon would announce the Z8 in September. Well, today Tamron announced the new 20-40mm f/2.8 FE lens (all info here). So I guess this means this Nikon Z 8 rumors has a good chance to be correct too. This is what he wrote:

No Z7 III or Z6 III this year, but Z8 will arrive in September, no later than October. And The pricing of Z 8 is quite appealing（lower than expected）.

How2fly also added the screenshot above showing the Z 8 name within the Nikon USA HTML code…

Fujirumors reports that no X-T5 will be announced on September 8th. The one camera that will be announced is the X-H2. There is also a chance that Fuji might announce one or more of these lenses:

• Fujinon GF20-35mm F4
• Fujinon XF30mm F2.8 Macro
• Fujinon XF56mm F1.2 MKII

Leaker HowToFly shared this info about the new Nikon Z8 and a new Tamron lens. We will see soon if he is right about the new Tamron. And if he will be spot on than I guess the Nikon Z8 rumors could be right too!

On September 8th Fuji will definitely announce new products. Fujirumors writes:

The only thing Fujifilm has announced for September is the high resolution Fujifilm X-H2, which we have already shared the price and some specs of.

What else has Fujifilm on their official roadmap for 2022? Let’s look at it:

• Fujinon GF20-35mm F4
• Fujinon XF30mm F2.8 Macro
• Fujinon XF56mm F1.2 MKII
• Fujifilm X-H2
