Lensbaby Sol 45 f/3.5 Tilt-Shift for Fujifilm X

Lensbaby just announced the Lensbaby Sol 45 f/3.5 Tilt-Shift for Fujifilm X with fixed f/3.5 aperture.

You can get it now at BHphoto.

Tilt shift lenses are arguably one of the top 3 lacks in the Fujifilm X mount line-up. The only other native X mount option I know for the X system is the Samyang T-S 24mm F3.5. I will let you decide if the lensbaby is an option for you. Check out the first look reviews down below:

There won’t be a tilt-shift lack in the GF medium format lineup. We already leaked the complete “secret” Fujifilm GF roadmap in April 2017, and we have updated it since then, including the upcoming tilt-shift lens. The latest rumor here.

Tamron 150-600 AF on Fujifilm X-H1

Just a few days ago, Fringer released ver. 2.20 of their smart adapters for the Fujifilm X and GFX system.

Now they are already working on the next firmware update ver.2.30,which will be released in mid-August.

As a teaser, Fringer posted a video showing the Tamron 150-600 F/5-6.3 autofocus on the Fujifilm X-H1 using the Fringer EF-FX adapter (see video above or on Fringer’s youtube here).

One of the main critics when looking at the Fujifilm system, is the lack of autofocus third party lens support.

Well, all those nice AF adapters that are now on the market (full list below), should definitely weaken these critics, since more and more Canon, Tamron, Sigma and soon also Nikon lenses will work just fine with AF on your Fujifilm camera.

So DO NOT sell your beloved Canon & Co glass to quickly, when you switch to Fujifilm. If there is a lens you abolutely love (and is not covered by native Fujinon lenses), you might get one of those adapters to make it work on your Fujfiilm camera.

There are more and more leather cases for our beloved Fujifilm cameras hitting the market.

Just last week we reported in this accessories roundup about the TP half leather case for Fujifilm X-H1. I share it again today, just in case you missed it.

Of course there are some more X-H1 leather case options on the market, and you can see them all at AmazonUS (includes BolinUS, Gariz and more that we already covered in the past here on FujiRumors).

So let’s talk about the brand new stuff today.

BolinUS just released the Fujifilm X-T100 BolinUS Handmade PU Leather Half Camera Case. It comes in three colors and also in this case you can access the battery door.

ON1 contacted me and informed me that they just released ON1 Photo Raw 2018.5.2.
