Fujinon MK Cinema Lenses for X-mount to be Launched by the End of 2017

 

Fujifilm MK Cinema Lenses for X-Mount

Fujifilm just issued an official press release about the new Fujinon MK cinema lenses (the MK18-55mm F2.9 and MK50-130mm T2.9), where they say amongst the others, that the X-mount version of these two lenses will come only by the end of 2017.

“X Mount versions of the MK lenses (with focal lengths of 18-55mm and 50-135mm) used in the FUJIFILM X Series line of digital cameras (with APS-C sensors) are being developed for launch by the end of this year.”

I remind you that Fujifilm is working on the ultimate APS-C camera, that should also bring some welcome improvements in the video compartment. This camera won’t be based on Sony’s FS5/FS7 (as I also speculated at the beginning), but the design will be based on the X-T series.

Just recently Fujifilm said that an issue with Iris Blades on Fujinon MK18-55mm T2.9 will cause some delivery delays.

Fujifilm GFX Roundup

L-Brackets

Fujifilm GFX facebook member Bruce bought the FLM L bracket and shared the images here on the group. He writes:

“Trying to come up with a decent L bracket for the GFX, given the massive battery door I can’t see a custom one working. I bought this FLM L bracket which is likely as good as it can get. If you find something better let me know. I mount the bracket with a gap so I can access ports for the remote release. A bit of a kludge“

Other L-brackets in the works for GFX and that will come out soon are the Custom Kir L plate and the one made by Really Right Stuff.

Sony Officially Shows New Medium Format Sensor Roadmap at CEBit… with 100MP BSI Sensor (for Fujifilm GFX 100s)

Mirrorlessrumors put an end to the doubt, if the recent video showing a 100MP and 150MP Back illumiated Medium Format sensor was just an April fool’s or not.

And it was not!

In an official PDF document of sony-semicon here, the company shows:

1) New 100MP 44x33mm Medium format Back Illuminated sensor would be announced in 2018 (for the kind of cameras like the Fuji GFX and X1D)
2) New 150MP 55x41mm Medium format Back Illuminated sensor would be announced in 2018 (for the kind of cameras like the Phase One 100XF).
3) New 150MP 55x41mm Medium format Back Illuminated monochrome sensor would be announced in 2018

The new sensor for the Fujifilm GFX 100S (the IMX461) will be ready for 2018, which doesn’t mean, though, that the GFX 100S will also come in 2018.
