It’s finished, FXF member quincy completed his terrific overview over all existing and upcoming X-mount lenses.

In his very clear & well structured list, you’ll find:

  • the name of ALL 56 X-mount lenses
  • links to reviews for each lens
  • link to product page for each lens
  • short comments to each lens
  • regular price in Dollar & Euro
  • specs such as number of aperture blades, close focus distance, filter thread and more
  • an updated lens chart

You rock, quincy, and I’m sure the whole X-shooter community will benefit from your interesting and useful overview.

The Verge declares X-T10 Best Mirrorless for under $1,000 + No other brand is so seriously committed to mirrorless as Fuji!

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II? Nope! The Sony A6000? Wrong! … It’s the Fujifilm X-T10!

The Verge just declared the Fuji X-T10 the Best Mirrorless Camera you can buy for under $1,000” They say they “really like the X-T10 for its combination of features, performance, and design […] it offers the all around best package“!

But the X-T1o get lots of love not only from The Verge.  Also dpreview loves the X-T10 more than the Sony A6000, the Nikon D5500 or the O-MD E-M10:

“The A6000, the D5500 and the O-MD E-M10 might seem more appealing or capable. […] But from my experience having shot with all of these cameras, the X-T10 is hands down the most pleasurable of the bunch to use. Fujifilm makes cameras for people who love cameras, not specs“

One more? Comparing the EOS M3 with the Fuji X-T10, even hardcore Canon shooter Steve from CanonWatch said:

“Someone looking for her first mirrorless camera may be better advised to have a look on the similar priced Fuji X-T10, if the 24MP of the EOS M3 are not a game-changer (the X-T10 has 16MP). I think no other brand is so seriously committed to mirrorless as Fuji. And they make great gear with all the features you may want on a mirrorless camera. Not to mention the lenses.”

Well, I guess I was right, when I recently called the X-T10 the most underestimated camera ever.

COOL IDEA for WEDDINGS (or any kind of Party): Set up a “Selfie” Photo Booth with Fuji X, Yongnuo speedlites + Printer!

This could be a cool idea for your next X-wedding (or any kind of party): take a Fuji X (in this case the Fuji X-E2), 2x Yongnuo YN-560 MkIV speedlites, a Manfrotto BeFree Tripod, a Canon Selphy printer (or Fuji’s little SP-1 printer) and a few more things, and set up Photo Booth, where guests can take funny photos alone and print them on the spot.

You can read all the instructions at antonionunes. At the end, how did it turn out? antonionunes says:

“It was lots of fun. Guests really got into the fun and silly self-portrait thing, and the results were hilarious. Also, in the end, the Bride and Groom had this cute book full of happy shots and warm words, which is something I’m sure they’ll treasure.

The first feedback and suggestion comes from our Forum, where Mark G says at the Fuji X Wedding Photography Chat:

If the client pays for the (mostly) outrageously expensive printing paper, it would be a great idea. That said, for photo booths, I’d prefer 1 cheap strobe… just easier than changing batteries on the hotshoe flashes.”

Speaking of weddings: those who follow FujiRumors on facebook and twitter already know that I live in an apartment over a courtyard of a wine tavern. There are weddings almost every weekend there and I still have to see an X-shooter as an official photographer (hey… are you out there??). It’s always Canon and Nikon… but I’m confident this will change in the next wedding season with the Fujifilm X-PRO2 :) .

Baltimore Riots: The story behind TIME’s iconic cover taken with a 16MP APS-C Fuji by Devin Allen!

Back in May we reported how Devin Allen, an X-shooter living in Baltimore, photographed the protests and city life there and how one of his images made the cover of the TIME magazine. As to expect, the shot he took with his 16MP APS-C Fuji changed his life… and maybe Fujifilm should think to hire him as an offical Fuji X-Photographer, too.

Now you can read and see the story behind TIME’s iconic X-cover at the Flickr-Blog here.
