Fujinon GF 30mm f/3.5 Shipping July 22: New First Look Reviews, Fuji Guys Overview and Promo Videos

Fujifilm has just announced that the brand new Fujinon GF30mm F3.5 will start shipping on July 22.

BHphoto & Co have therefore updated their pages, and mark it as available on July 23.

It’s curious, that Fujifilm does not seem to push this lens all too much. In fact, they seem to have more quiet approach when promoting this lens. A pity, from all I could see, it is a fantastic lens. And it’s 16mm APS-C equivalent, which is a very popular focal length.

The Fuji Guys posted an unboxing and a few samples, but they could have showed a bit more love for this lens, by giving it a proper full overview. Anyway, here is what they say:

  • 24mm in full frame (16mm in APS-C)
  • weather sealed
  • sample images
  • a bit too wide for Francis taste, but gives interesting perspective
  • end

There is also not much independent reviews. Here is some:

  • bjornmoerman – First Look Review – Fujifilm GF 45-100 f4
  • kaarebak – The last of the triplets

And some Promo material:

The 16mm focal length is one of the best sellers in the APS-C world. Let’s see if the GF30mm can duplicate that success.

Fujifilm X-T4 ePhotozine Review: Impressive Camera, the Complete Package!

 

ePhotozine has published its full Fujifilm X-T4 review. Their conclusions:

The camera’s 26mp BSI CMOS sensor and image processing is known to produce excellent image quality, and continue to do so, with exceptional colour reproduction and dynamic range. For those looking to upgrade from an earlier X-T1, or X-T2 camera, the X-T4 offers a compelling set of features, and if you’ve ever been frustrated with battery life from your camera, then the X-T4 offers a great option for you.

The X-T4, with high-speed continuous shooting (up to 30fps), is up there with the quickest, with only the E-M1 II / III and G9 offering quicker continuous shooting (at 60fps), and in terms of video, it’s only the G9 that also offers 4K 60fps video. The switch between stills and video is a great idea, and will benefit video and stills photographers greatly.

The camera is well suited to a wide variety of photography, with good noise performance and IBIS making it better in low-light situations, great colour reproduction making it suited to portraits and other photography, and high-speed shooting further expands the camera’s appeal in particular for wildlife or sports photography.

For anyone wanting the best the X-Series has to offer, the X-T4 is it, with a great 26mp sensor, great colour reproduction, and high-quality video recording, the X-T4 has it all, including high-speed autofocus and continuous shooting. Add in-body image stabilisation, along with improved battery life, and you have the complete package.

Pros

  • 5-axis In-body image stabilisation
  • New battery gives extended battery life
  • Excellent noise performance
  • Excellent colour reproduction and options
  • Improved video recording options
  • High-speed continuous shooting

Cons

  • Increased size
  • Headphone jack via USB C

Double Your Fujifilm X-T4 Recording Time Before Overheating with This Hack (Works Only with Selfie Screen ; ) )

Tony Rustlips found a new way to make good use of the Fujifilm X-T4 selfie screen.

In order to double his recording, all he needs is a cheap insulin ice pack. But be aware, it works only with the Fujifilm X-T4, as you can flip the screen out completely and then place the insulin ice pack at the back of the camera.

Oh well, maybe it’s something that will work for some of you guys, too ;).

Astrophotography with Fujifilm: Get Stellar Results with Fujifilm APS-C and Medium Format Cameras

I have received an email from a fellow member of our Fujifilm Astrophography facebook group, which said:

I was thinking you could perhaps share some of the pics taken on the FB group “Astrophotography with Fujifilm” that you manage. Lots of awesome pictures there! We often hear you need an expensive full frame camera or big telescope, but that’s just wrong, as this group suggests.

That would be great to attract more Fuji shooters to this group, it’s a very nice community where we help each other and learn from our experiences.

Astro can be daunting for the newbie, but it shouldn’t. Also, there aren’t a lot of Fuji shooters in the astro community, so I’m sure it could spread the virus — the good one!

Oh well, here it is.

Have fun and may this post inspire you to try your luck with the stars, too :).
