Mitakon released the 35mmF0.95 Ver.II. It’s already available at Adorama.
And Quincy (yep, the X-shooter, who made me drop my coffee) will update again his complete overview over all existing (and upcoming) X-mount lenses (with links to reviews, short comments, main specs, price in $/€)

Hands-On: Fujifilm X-Pro 2, X70 and XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 at admiringlight:
“The new Acros black and white film simulation is incredible. It produces black and white conversions that show punch, contrast and subtlety at the same time, while really capturing the feel of high-end black and white film. It’s outstanding, and I was instantly jealous that it isn’t available on my X-E2 or X-T1.”
Revitalisation of 18 at jonasraskphotography:
“On the X-Pro2 the 18mm f/2 receive an even faster AF. I was really surprised by this. Its now super precise and super-fast. No hunting, no nothing. The added resolution of the X-Pro2 also seem to do something good for the lens performance.”

In my article “10 Reasons Why the Fujifilm X-Pro2 Surprised Me” I’ve placed the High ISO performance on the first position. The first High-ISO Samples looked just great, and according to focus-numerique, the X-Pro2 has the same performance of the Full Frame 24MP Sony A7II at ISO 6,400
Well, this time it’s billfortney, who compares the Fuji X-T1 (X-TransII) with the Fuji X-Pro2 (X-TransIII). His conclusions:
“My evaluation is that the X-PRO 2 shows significantly more detail in the fine detail areas, no surprise with a 33% increase in mega pixels.
I would have thought that noise would remain stable, but it has improved dramatically.
The X-PRO 2 is at the very least 1 stop better than the X-T1, maybe stretching to almost 1.5 stops. Look at the black scissors, the X-PRO 2 not only has deeper black within noise to speak of, but much better texture detail as well. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think I might actually rely on 25,600 if I had to, it looks remarkably good!”
For those who already used the dpreview studio shots and imaging-resource comparometer to compare X-Trans1/2 cameras with the X-TransIII X-Pro2, this will not be a surprise.

Well, today I have a first hint for all of you: according to an anonymous source (with nick name – thanks!), the X200 will come this year (2nd half of 2016)
The source also shared some specs. So the X200 should have:
– the 24MP sensor of the X-Pro2 (and therefore also faster AF)
– A new bright 28mm lens (also the Fujifilm X70 features a 28mm lens)
– and enhanced hybrid VF with better EVF refresh rate
– Digital converter 35/50
– Tiltscreen
The source was pretty sure about the above mentioned specs… but it added a last spec, which it said not to be so sure of, so take the extra grain of salt
– touchscreen
Thanks a lot to the source for sharing. Now I’ll try to check it all with our trusted sources. So Follow FR for more updates at Fuji X Forum, Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter
cheers… and have a great weekend,
