Portland, OR (February 15, 2018) – Lensbaby—makers of award-winning creative effects lenses, optics and accessories—announces the launch of an entirely new kind of creative effects lens, the Burnside 35.
In the video above you can see how much the X-H1 sensor wobbles, going behind the front plate. That’s impressive.
And you will remember, how Fujifilm said that X-mount is not compatible with IBIS, right?
So people wonder, how did Fujifilm manage to make it compatible and to make IBIS work on X-cameras without introducing to heavy vignetting?
Good question.
What we know, is that newer X-series cameras have a newly designed front plate. Just check out my old X-T1 with sharp 90° angle compared to my new X-E3 with a much more rounded angle. UPDATE: Older X-T2’s and X-Pro2’s have a very angled mount, while newer ones more rounded. Check it out, it’s documented also on dpreview ;) .
However, I heared another fascinating theory, that I want to share here on FujiRumors,.
The rounded angle could allow the light to filter better in the corners, and hence reach the sensor even better, when it goes behind the mount.
Wait… I hear you say… the X-E3 has no IBIS!
But, so the theory, since Fujifilm had to redesign the mount to accomodate IBIS on X-H1 anyway, it just hugly simplifies and speeds up the production line, if you use one front plate design for all cameras, instead of manufacturing 2 different ones.
However, this theory does not convince me fully, since the front plate on the X-H1 seems to be more similar to the one of my old X-T1 than the one of my X-H1.
The live blogging is still running, but time to dig deeper into the more technical and also practical aspect of IBIS in a dedicated post.
We start with a Fujifilm video that shows how IBIS is made and how it is tested by Fujifilm, we continue by telling you how IBIS and OIS work together, how efficient it is with each lens, and we end with a hands on experience of shooting 11 seconds handheld still image… will it work?
Back in February 13, Adobe released the Lightroom Classic CC 7.2, adding Fujifilm X-A5 and X-A20 support.
This was 2 days before the official announcement of the Fujiflm X-H1, so at that time, they did not mention X-H1 support.
However, after the announcement, they updated their camera support list, and included the Fujifilm X-H1. It also adds the Eterna film simulation profile.
