The first copies of the HS-V5 Tethered Shooting software are now available also at the Fuji Store in UK for £90. For customers who don’t have the HS-V5, “FUJIFILM Tether Shooting Plug-in” will be able to be purchased at Adobe Exchange site.

“Fuji’s Tethered Shooting Plugin Debacle“
(definition of FXF member craigk49)

Ok… that was the information… and now comes the frustration, as expressed by several FXF members in the tethered shooting thread launched by karinatwork.

First the HS-V5 was available only in Japan. To use the tethered shooting software with Lightroom, you need to install a plug-in. Fuji released this plug-in a few months ago, but had to take it off again in early March, because it was faulty. It took them 2 months to fix the bug and re-release it, but the HS-V5 software was still available only in Japan! Now, at least, it seems that the long-awaited software is leaving the Japanese borders.

However, since the HS-V5 works only with PC, Mac users have to wait for a dedicated Adobe Plug-in, which will be available (not for free) sometimes at the Adobe Exchange site.

A little Good News: according to FXF member craigk49 here, who spoke with a Fuji Guy, the Mac plug-in will be available “soon” on Adobe’s Exchange site.

And let me say this: the software should be free!

More Fun Creations here

Is it an organic sensor Camera? Or a monochrome camera? And what about an X100Z with zoom lens? Or are you maybe still dreaming of a Full Frame Fuji? Is your secret wish a Medium Format Camera? Or is the 24MP X-PRO2 all you need?… These are some of the X-camera dreams shared recently at the Fuji X Forum.

Whatever you desire, you can keep up sharing it in this thread. We will then collect all the different wishes and make the Ultimate Dream-X-Camera poll out of your suggestions shared here on the Fuji X Forum.

It’s time to let Fuji know what our secret wishes are!

And now dream here, without limits :)

The lens is said to have a very smooth “soap bubble” bokeh.

Here a sample of the bokeh, shared at the FR-facebook page by FR-reader Jennifer with her [shoplink 35749 ebay]Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Primoplan 58mm 1.9[/shoplink]
