What we know so far
Current rumors indicate that Fujifilm plans to launch two new XF lenses together with the X-T6. The first is expected to replace the XF 50-140mm F2.8, while the second will reportedly be a new telephoto prime.
The source notes that conflicting information still exists regarding the exact specifications, so additional details have not yet been published.
Possible candidates
The report also references several previously published Fujifilm telephoto lens patents, including 300mm, 400mm, 500mm, 550mm and 600mm designs.
However, it also emphasizes that patents are not reliable indicators of future products and should not be interpreted as confirmation of upcoming announcements.

If the rumor proves accurate, Fujifilm appears ready to strengthen the telephoto side of its X Series lineup. Until an official announcement is made, however, the information should be treated as speculation.
