The upcoming Fujifilm X-H1 camera is listed again on Amazon and available for pre-order a few hours before the official announcement. The two new cinema lenses are also listed:
"The X Mount FUJINON MKX18-55mmT2.9 and MKX50-135mmT2.9 lenses deliver high optical performance and comfortable operability for professional video shooting. The MKX18-55mm and MKX50-135mm are the first fully manual cinema lenses to be compatible with the X Series interchangeable lens camera lineup. In the 35mm format equivalent, MKX18-55mm covers a focal distance from 27mm to 84mm and MKX50-135mm covers a focal distance from 76mm to 206mm. Combined with X Series’ unique color reproduction technology, MKX lenses further enhance the range for professional video shooting."

5.5-Stops In-Body Image Stabilization. Compatible with all XF and XC lenses.
New High-Resolution EVF - Magnification ratio of 0.75x and 3.69M dot resolution. The VF display is extraordinarily smooth, with a display time lag of just 0.005 sec and a frame rate of 100 fps.
Comprehensive video features - new external film Simulation ideal for shooting movies, f-log SD card recording and 1080/120P high-speed video mode (1/2, 1/4 and 1/5 speed).
Flicker reduction mode and improved AF Algorithms
25% Thicker magnesium alloy body than X-T2, increased scratch-resistance and surface hardness, dust and water-resistant properties, ability to operate in temps down to -10 Degree C/-14 Degree F.
22 glass elements in 17 groups, with six Super ED Lens elements and two ED Lens elements.
T2.9 aperture across the entire zoom range which facilitates the increasingly popular style of bokeh effect with shallow depth-of-field.
The focus ring features a rotation of a full 200 degrees to facilitate precise focusing. All operation Rings have a gear pitch of 0.8M, the same as all other Fujinon Cine lenses.
The front focusing group of lens elements and the zooming group of lens elements are driven independently to suppress focus shift while zooming, which eliminates the need to re-focus after zooming.
Only one matte box between the lenses is needed with an 85mm front diameter. Only one filter size between the lenses is needed with a filter thread of 82mm.
