Capture One still does not officially offer Fuji Film Simulation profiles. But don’t worry, FXF member fleckintosh and Scottie Wang invested a lot of time (several weeks!) to create and optimize their own homebrew:

“Here is a completely reworked, refined Set of ICC Profiles for Capture One, made for X-T1. It matches the In-Camera Filmsimulations much better than the original Set, which I posted last October here.

Another Set, made for X-Pro2, Incl. ACROS ICC Profiles, is also included in this post. I renamed them to have an alternative Option for my X-T1. These ICC are slightly different, Blacks & Shadows & Colors are more decent.”

Happy Download at the FXF here.

XF23mmF2 WR Hands On

Zed ProMedia could try out the new Fuji X-T2 at a Fuji event. At the same event, the Fuji Rep also brought the new XF23mmF2 WR, which, as I told you here, will come on August 25 along with the X-A3.

Here is his feedback about the XF23mmF2 WR:

1. Focus Speed is as fast, if not faster than the XF35mmF2 WR
2. AF-moter is super-quite
3. Aperture Ring has about the same resitance of the one in the XF 35mmF2
4. Focus Ring about double the thickness of the one in the XF35mmF2 WR – See This Leaked Real Life Image
5. The XF23mmF2 WR is about half an inch (1,3 cm) longer than the XF35mmF2

For the XF23mmF2 feedback, go to minute 04:55 of this youtube video

First this rumor, and then a Fujifilm Manager, said that the shipping of the X-T2 will start shipping in late August.

And the X-T2 might indeed start shipping in late August… but probably not everywhere. And at least for USA, it seems that the X-T2 is more likely to ship in September.

In fact, BHphoto, Adorama and AmazonUS today simultaneously updated their X-T2 product page, saying that the X-T2 “will begin shipping Thu, Sep 8 (Subject to availability)“. – thanks to the FR-readers for the links

However, FR-reader Marcus said yesterday in the comments here:

Just yesterday I’ve published the rumor here, were a trusted source told us Fujifilm will start shipping the Fujifilm X-T2 earlier than expected (late August instead of early/mid September).

Well, an attentive FR-reader (thanks!), just send me the link to a this podcast, where at the very end a Fujifilm South Africa Manager says:

“The X-T2 will be out at the end of August! There will be a limited stock unfortunately, due to our sensor factory [he means the Sony factory] being damaged by the earthquake.”

Great News… and thanks once more to the source for sharing correct information :)
