The Iridient Developer 3.0.8 update was released today!

This update support for the X-Pro2 (currently uncompressed format only), X-E2S and X70 models. This release also fixes a couple Fujifilm specific bugs including an incorrect baseline exposure for intermediate (non whole stop) ISO settings above 3200 and a bug with the EXIF 35mm focal length equivalent value in exported images for some of the fixed lens models (X100S, X100T, X100 and probably a few other compacts). Plus with this update Brian has refined the default camera profile for all X-Trans (and some of the X Bayer sensors too). Of course all prior Fujfilm preset packs for the various camera film styles (Astia, Provia, Velvia, …) are still applicable and seem to work reasonably well with the new sensor in the X-Pro2 as well. Brian will likely be refining the film presets some in the future specifically for the X-Pro2 and adding the new style(s) added with the X-Pro2 as well.

A FR-reader just told me that he got an email from Fujifilm confirming that his X-Pro2 will be ready for pickup on March 3rd in Tokyo! The reader also send me the screenshots of Fujifilm’s email, which I will share as soon as (if) I get the permission of the FR-reader (thanks for sharing :-) )

UPDATE: See bottom of this post for the Fujifilm email

UDPATE 2: It’s now officially also on Fuji’s Japanese website here.

So I guess BHphoto is spot on, when they say they will start shipping it on March 10.

HUGE Fuji US-X Sale now also at BHphoto & Adorama (save up to $400)

The X-Pro2 Metal Hand Grip is now available at BHphoto and Adorama. It’s still unavailable at AmazonUS.

It will hardly mitigate the pain for the unexpected long X-Pro2 waiting, but it seems that whatever the issue was, Fuji fixed it and will start shipping the camera in early March (probably March 10).
