Fuji Guys X-E5 How-To Guide Reveals Unexpected Detail on New Feature

The Fuji Guys have just published a comprehensive Fujifilm X-E5 how-to guide on YouTube.

As a future X-E5 owner myself (hopefully not a too distant future, given its reported high pre-orders), I diligently looked at the entire video to get to know my future camera.

There are many features I am looking forward on my X-E5, from the film simulation dial to the super-customizable front lever, IBIS and more.

And one feature I am particularly intrigued about is the new, neat and cleanclassic display mode, which I believe will be my go-to setting in future.

Well, it comes surprising to me that the new classic display mode will be available only in the EVF and not on the LCD.

I don’t know if nobody has ever mentioned that until now, or if I somehow just missed this tidbit so far.

But if you were unaware of it (like me) consider this your friendly heads-up before you start wondering why the LCD won’t show it. ;)

Venus Optics Laowa AF 200mm f/2.0 for Fujifilm X and GFX Leaked

Venus Optics will launch the Laowa AF 200mm f/2.0 soon. It will initially come for EF/E/Z mount, but the Fujifilm X and GFX version should follow, according to reports shared at the Chinese social media account 独立摄影师联合会 here, via mirrorlessrumors.

If accurate, this would be the first third party autofocus lens for the Fujifilm GFX system.

Laowa 200mm f/2.0 specs:

  • Full Frame autofocus lens
  • Less than 1,6kg
  • Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon EF and future Fuji X and GFX mount versions coming

Viltrox Discontinues Entire f/1.4 APS-C Lens Lineup- REPORT

The Viltrox f/1.4 APS-C line of lenses has been very popular among Fujifilm shooters:

Now a Thomas Fransson said on his youtube channel (video below) that Viltrox is discontinuing its entire f/1.4 APS-C lens lineup (with a doubt if also the Viltrox 13mmF1.4 is included). This information has been passed to Thomas directly from his contacts at Viltrox.

Thomas isn’t sure whether the lenses will be updated with new f/1.4 versions or replaced by models from the Viltrox Air series and the Viltrox f/1.2 series.

A while ago Tokina axed the Viltrox f/1.4 clones.
