Fujifilm Specific Capture One Webinar Tomorrow 11 AM New York Time

Capture One has recently made some significant steps forward to what belongs Fujifilm support. For example, they added Fujifilm compressed RAW support, OpenCL is now also supported by X-trans files and more – Full list in this article

But frankly, there is still room for improvement.

For example, still no film simultion support (but you can find a great homebrew at the fuji-x-forum) and no Fujifilm GFX 50s support.

The news today?

There will be a dedicated Fujifilm Capture One webinar tomorrow, July 6, 2017, with Fujifilm X-photographer Eivind Røhne. So sign up here and tune in at 11 AM New York time (5 PM Berlin Time).

I’m currently a Iridient / Adobe user. But I have to admit that I’m thinking to switch to Capture One (from Adobe). But before switching, I want Capture One to finally offer full X-Trans support.

Now, since this summer I have no major trips plans (except my recent 1 week journey in wonderful South Italy) I will spend a lot of time hiking on my local mountains. So I have a little tour planed for tomorrow (with my trusty easy to use Camslinger Cosyspeed bag, as you can see in the video below). But if the weather will turn bad tomorrow, I’ll definitely tune into the Capture One webinar… maybe they can convince me to make the switch from Adobe.

And if weather is great, and I can’t see the Capture One webinar, well, then maybe some of you guys can drop a few comments to this post about the webinar… I’ll be happy to check them out when I’m back.

Leaked Image of a Super Thin 35mm Goerz Citograph (Sony Version… but Coming also for Fujifilm X-mount) – UPDATE

UPDATE: Now officially launched on kickstarter here

SonyAlphaRumors broke the news. I’ll add only, that it will be available also Fujifilm X mount.

Here is what SAR writes:

“A source sent me that image of a new 35mm FE pancake lens with fixed focus. It’s made by the German company Goerz which is now owned by Schneider Kreuznach (Thanks Mistral!).  […] this is not a low quality and high vignetting lens I have been told it has actually a very good sharp image quality.”

IBIS (in body image stabilization) Coming to Future Fujifilm X Cameras – Trusted Source

What Fujifilm Managers Say

I know what you think: “But didn’t a Fujifilm manager tell us in this interview, that IBIS is not compatible with Fujifilm X-mount?”

Yep, that’s true. The manager said:

“Our XF mount is not compatible with IBIS […] the amount of light at the corners is reduced when the sensor is shifted. We could correct it digitally, but we don’t want to do it: we don’t want to compromise our image quality.”

But, well…. today I will tell you a different story…

What Trusted Source Says

The rumor is as simple as that: Fujifilm is right now working to bring IBIS to future X-mount cameras.

The Market Wants IBIS (in body image stabilization)

Just like “weather sealing”, also “IBIS” is becoming more and more important for photographers. Fujifilm’s main mirrorless competitors (Sony, Panasonic, Olympus) all offer IBIS… and it has become a strong selling point!

Now, personally, features like “weather sealing” and “IBIS” are not primary reasons for me to get a camera or not. More important, for me, are lens line-up and ergonomics for example.

But I understand that IBIS can be indeed a very handy tool, especially if you use a lot of old adapted glass and shoot video with OIS-less glass.

So if you ask me, then yes, it’s a good move for Fujifilm to offer IBIS in future.

But Fujifilm has to give us good IBIS that deals very well with the shortcomings the Fujifilm manager mentioned here… and every camera manufacturer is actually dealing the same issues.

NOTE: Canon and Nikon say IBIS works not as good as Lens Stabilization – Read more here.

How Reliable is this News Rumor?

This rumor comes from a trusted source. This is why I personally take no grain of salt at all. I’m 100% sure that these are Fujifilm’s (current) plans.

I also know that Fujifilm can change plans anytime, but I have the feeling that this won’t happen this time.

IBIS will come… and actually, this Fujifilm camera already has IBIS ;)

The Calm before the Storm…

I have the feeling that great times could be ahead of us… and summer holidays or not, I will invest all my best (and my time) to keep you guys up to date with everything. So stay tuned on FujiRumors via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

have a GREAT start in your week,
