The Free Space has been booked
Sadly, one of Rico’s delegates got sick and had to cancel his participation on short notice. This means that there’s now one free spot at this weekend’s Fuji X Secrets RAW workshop in Nuremberg/Schwabach.
If you are interested in this exclusive workshop (maximum of 4 delegates) and happen to be in Germany, please click here for further information.
I’ve already told you about fujifilmxmount over a year ago here, a handy online tool, where you can test & compare the whole range of Fujinon lenses.
Well, a bunch of new lenses has been added to the virtual Lens test site, including the 35mmF2 and 1.4x Teleconverter. Still not included at the moment, the brand new XF100-400. I also hope they will add the X-Pro2 as virtual test camera soon.
Also new: you can now test different Film Simulations.

This week, the X-Pro2 will start falling into the hands of a lot of X-shooters. So many of you guys will know how to spend the next weekend, and you’ll finally be able to judge by yourself, how good or not the X-Pro2 really is. In the meantime, here is another X-Pro2 roundup.
thefxworks bought the X-Pro2 and immedialty used it for his first Wedding. Here an excerpt:
“I did my first wedding with the Fuji Xpro2 last weekend and we all know that winter wedding’s in the UK can be quite a challenge […] So many of my images are shot with high ISO, the highest I have had to use is the dreaded 6400 ISO and with a little editing they look good but what if I could take the image with that extra ISO, that would be superb so this is why I bought the Fuji Xpro2 and its phenomenal, ISO 12000 now looks like 6400 and the focus is absolutely incredible, I didn’t miss a single shot, I was in my element, such a Happy Chappy.”

Five Fujifilm products, including the Fujifilm X-Pro2, win the “iF Design Award” in recognition of their product design. Press Release here.
So the rumor shared last month here was true (once again thanks to FR sources)… Fujifilm will launch a 2.0x Teleconverter.
Check out the video below of ValueTechTV (min 3:40)
He says that:
The journalist says that Fujilm told him that there will be still 1 or 2 lenses this year (his guess is photokina), but didn’t share any more details. He is evidently speaking of lenses not included in the roadmap.
nice spot and thanks for the link to Fuji X Forum Member Quincy… yep, that guy, who made me drop my coffee :)

The CP+ opened its doors, and the French site focus-numerique (translation) had the opportunity to talk to Fujifilm Managers Shugo Kiryu and Shusuke Kozaki.
They confirm that the X-Pro2 is actually 4K capable, but they do not plan to add this feature via Firmware. But the X-T2 will definitely have 4K!
Here some excerpts (google translated):
4K
We asked users of the X-Pro 1 if they used it for video and 80% of them said no. By cons, of course, you can make high quality videos FHD with the X-Pro 2. But according to our studies users do not expect 4K feature on the X-Pro 2. Technically, we could add this feature with a firmware update but we do not plan to do so in the future.
We will integrate the 4K video in the next models of the T series
Monochrome X-Pro
At the beginning we wanted to develop a device of this type, but in the end we opted for the simulation mode (silver black and white films) obtained from color files. For us to judge image quality for a draw. Our tests have shown that visually, the image quality between a photo after an X-Trans sensor color then treated black and white film simulation and a photo of a monochrome sensor was identical. In addition, we asked our ambassadors photographers who responded that he had an urgent need for color images and they were not to use multiple field devices.
Plans for X30 Successor?
Currently not. This segment is very competitive with the presence of Sony, Canon and Nikon now (new range of compact Nikon experts DL). At present, we do not 1 inch version of our X-Trans technology. It takes time to develop.
What will come at Photokina 2016?
This is top secret! I can not reveal anything, but maybe new products will be launched at Photokina. You can perhaps guess!
