[UPDATE] Apple: Aperture now supports X-TRANS

[UPDATE] Here is a very quick first look by thomasfitzgeraldphotography. “The files seem to be much sharper and retain much more detail that Lightroom’s efforts, and it doesn’t mangle fine detail like Lightroom does. It’s really impressive” See the LR-Aperture comparison pics here.

Apple updated the Digital Camera RAW software. Version 4.05 adds RAW image compatibility for the following cameras to Aperture 3 and iPhoto ’11:
Fujifilm X20
Fujifilm X100S
Fujifilm X-E1
Fujifilm X-Pro1

It happened, finally! download it here!

 

US readers can already preorder the brand new Fuji 55-200mm lens at BHphoto (Click here).

RUMOR: lens roadmap update – 56mm f1.2 (not f1.4) delayed to Jan 2014?

Every Fujirumors reader knows it: the 55-200 will be officially announced tomorrow, and, maybe even more important, the lens roadmap will be updated… so what’s new?

FR-reader Richard (the one who created the X-M9 and the sniper X-E1) directed my attention here, where a source said that Fuji will release the 56mm f1.2 (and not f1.4) on Jan 2014 (delayed to the original roadmap.)

The 56 f1.4 is the third release-option in our poll. If this rumor is true, would you like this “new” lens to be released earlier? So I start this new poll with the rumored 56mm f1.2 lens

thanks Richard… and we are waiting for a new crazy X-E1 configuration!

 

Should Fujifilm bring 4K via Firmware to the X-Pro2?
