7Artisans Photoelectric Autofocus Adapter Released

You can now get the new 7Artisans Photoelectric Autofocus Adapter (Canon EF to Fuji X) at BHphoto here.

Key Features
  • EF/EF-S Lens to X-Mount Camera
  • Enables Autofocus and Aperture Control
  • Supports Image Stabilization
  • Transfers Lens Exif Metadata to Camera
  • Gold-Plated Copper Electronic Contacts
  • Integrated Tripod Mount

This Autofocus Adapter from 7artisans Photoelectric allows a Canon EF or EF-S-mount lens to be used on a FUJIFILM X-mount camera. Gold-plated copper electronics provide enhanced performance and support phase detection and contrast detection autofocus. The adapter also supports image stabilization and enables swift aperture control. If an attached lens is capable of generating Exif metadata, this adapter is designed to transfer that information so that it can be saved with image files generated by the lens and camera. Additionally, the adapter includes a tripod foot with 1/4″-20 threads to reduce stress on the camera mount when placed on a tripod.

Disassembly – Voigtländer Nokton 23mm f/1.2

Yukosteel did it again: he disassembled precious camera gear :)

This time his victim was the Voigtländer 23mm f/1.2 Nokton for Fujifilm X Mount.

His conclusion:

I’m very impressed by the mechanics and reliable design of electronics in this Voigtlander 23mm F1.2 Nokton lens. The precise way focusing distance information is collected is one of huge benefits of true manual focusing Voigtlander lens comparing to focus-by-wire most Fujinon lens. All parts are made from metal and precisely machined up to highest Cosina quality standards similar to Leica M mount lenses.

Which Sensor Would You Like on the Fujifilm X-Pro4, X100V Successor, X-E5 and X-T40 – VOTE NOW

Ok, today it’s my birthday, and I have to apologise to you.

Because, remember when I asked which sensor you’d like Fujifilm to use in future cameras, if the 40MP sensor or the 26MP stacked sensor?

Well, forget about it, and sorry that I wasted your time.

Because Fujifilm managers recently told us that they still see a future in the 26MP X-Trans IV sensor. And also our rumors about the Fujifilm X-S20 featuring the 26MP X-Trans IV sensor confirm that at least one more camera, the X-S20, will get that sensor.

So this kind of requires me to ask for your kindness and time again, and to let you again vote on the survey. But this time I’ll include the option of the X-Trans IV sensor.

Only one camera will get an additional option: the Fujifilm X-Pro4. Because, as I told you recently, I think Fujifilm will continue to experiment with that camera line; experiments that could include also a different type of sensor. But to be clear: it’s all just speculation from my side, not a rumor. Just to be clear and avoid misunderstandings.

So, down below you can vote your favourite sensor for each camera again.

Also, in the video I made today will share what my favourite sensor would be for each camera.

Fujifilm Wins Tons of RedDot and TIPA Awards 2023 including the Amazing X-H Cooling Fan

Everybody Wins

After a couple of mojito’s on a Carribian island, the guys who had the brilliant idea to make tons of money by giving away meaningless awards, came up with enough categories to assign prizes to all companies who were so generous to buy the brag-rights to their past awards.

And if you think I am kidding, of course I am. I mean, to come up with categories that differentiate between “expert” and “professional” you have to take harder stuff than just mojitos :D.

TIPA

After a brutally hard selection and extensive tests, TIPA has selected the winners of their 2023 awards.

Here are the Fujifilm products that won:

RedDot

Also RedDot asked ChatGPT to make an extensive list of random products they can award to make money has tested tons of gear on their design and usability and came up with a list of winners.

Fujifilm was able to gain the humble amount of 23 RedDot Award. The photography related gear is this one:

Well done Fujifilm. This means you are a very healthy company if you have money to throw away for these awards.
