Now Fujifilm has interviewed Alain Shroeder, winner of the overall stories category (as well as a single category) at this years’ World Press Photo award.
It’s an enjoyable video that you can see below. For your convenience I have made a summary, in case you don’t have the 8 minutes time right now to watch the video.
Since Fujifilm officially announced that they opened the Fujifilm X mount for third party lens manufacturers (with Tokina the official partner), many of us started expressing wishes for Tamron and Sigma lenses coming for Fujifilm X mount.
I was curious to see which lenses you’d like, and launched two mega surveys, that included all Sigma and Tamron lenses available on the market.
Now, here are the top 10 results for each brand, but I also was curious to let Sigma and Tamron battle in one and the same survey. So I let the top 10 Sigma and Tamron lenses battle for your love in one single survey ;).
Well, now Viltrox is letting customers know, that Fujifilm X-Pro3 users can return their Viltrox lens. They also say that there is no problem with other cameras, such as the Fujifilm X-T4 and Fujifilm X-T3.
The screenshot above is from an email a FR-reader got from Viltrox.
The reason, so I have been told, is that the location of the lens release button on the Fujifilm X-Pro3 is too close to the bayonet.
Here is what Viltrox writes.
1) Kind Reminder for Fujifilm X-Pro3 Users:
For the sake of your camera, it would be better not use Viltrox 23mm, 33mm or 85mm X mount lens onto Fujifilm X-PRO3 model in case it will damage your camera. Due to the structural conflict, they will scratch a little bit against each other. We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
