Now the Amazon Prime deals are running also in North America.

I will share below a couple of deals that are potentially interesting for photographers and especially for us Fujifilm photographers.

I did get myself the SAMSUNG T9 Portable SSD 4TB. It’s my first Samsung External SSD, but from what I have read it is a very good one.

Amazon Prime has started in Europe.

Of course there are a sheer endless amount of great deals.

But here we talk photography and Fujifilm, so I will focus only what I consider relevant and good deals for the photography and Fujifilm community.

Especially tempting (for me) is the huge rebate on the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan. You know I plan on leaving Capture One and this deal is tempting me to switch back to Adobe.

7Artisans is now teasing the 7Artisans AF 35mm f/1.4 APS-C autofocus lens.

Some specs:

• AF 35mm F1.4
• APS-C
• autofocus
• dimensions
  – ø: 68mm
  – Length: 43mm
• Weight: 180g

Just for comparison, the Fujinon XF33mm f/1.4 has a diameter of 67 and a length of 73.5 and it weights 360g.

As opposed to many other autofocus lenses in this range, at least this one looks rather compact and light, making it stand out a bit from the other 33/35mm f/1.4 offerings.

The already teased/announced Meike AF 33mm f/1.4 has now started shipping in Asia according to reports shared at the Japanese website asobinet.

What an exciting and much needed lens (*sarcasm).

No seriously. The more, the merrier. But I still believe third parties are missing out on a chance by releasing already existing AF lenses instead of coming up with something new that fills wholes in the Fujinon X mount lens lineup.

But it is what it is. And the specs are below.

• Meike AF 33mm F1.4
• Retail price: 1199 yuan
• Advance price: 1099 yuan
• Format: APS-C
• Mount: Z/X
• Focal length: 33mm
• Aperture value: F1.4-F16
• Aperture feathers: 9 sheets
• Lens composition: 12 pieces in 9 groups
• Minimum shooting distance: 0.4m
• Maximum shooting magnification: Unknown
• Filter diameter: φ55mm
• Size: φ
• Weight: g
• Dustproof and splashproof:
• AF:
• Image stabilization:
• Other functions:
  ・
• Almost zero distortion aberration
• Excellent backlight resistance and chromatic aberration correction
• Accurate and vivid color reproduction
• High resolution
• Appropriate video with reduced focus breathing

Now that was fast!

Last time there was a bug, Fujifilm needed two months to issue a fix. This time they needed 2 days. Now that’s what I call an improvement ;).

Anyway, the Fujifilm X-T50 bug we reported here has now been fixed. Happy download!

Firmware Details

Fujifilm X-T50 ver. 1.02 – download here
The firmware update Ver.1.02 from Ver.1.01 incorporates the following issues:

1. The firmware bug is fixed that the error message, “THIS FIRMWARE IS NOT FOR THIS MODEL TURN OFF THE CAMERA” is displayed on the LCD during the firmware update from Ver.1.00 to Ver.1.01 for specific serial numbers and the firmware update cannot be performed.

   Note-1: Refer to the “Notice and apology to FUJIFILM X-T50 users” for the details.
   Note-2: Although there are no differences of features and performance of the camera itself between Ver.1.01 and Ver.1.02, all X-T50 users can update this firmware (ver.1.02) even who had already completed the update to Ver.1.01.
