ENJOY READING IT: X-T10 First Look / XF 90mmF2 WR First Look

Spotted by Thomas and shared at the FR-facebook page here: the Fujifilm X-T10 with XF 35mmF2 WR lens (via lesnumeriques). Accoding to the roadmap, the XF 35mm will be released late 2015… and would be the perfect kit lens for the Fuji X-PRO2 ;) .

Do you like the look of the X-T10, now that more and more real life samples surface on the web? The discussion is hot at the fuji-x-forum… you can read here what fellow X-shooters think about it.

General Discussion

– started by milandro: “Fuji hatred? Why?” Do you have an idea why we can regularly find bloggers, who write with the sole purpose of a passive-aggressive hateful intent against Fuji? Follow the discussion here.

Fuji X System

X-T1 / X-T10

– started by me, Patrick FR: “Real X-T10 Vs. Mock Up X-T10… which one do you prefer?” Ahead of the release of the X-T10, FR-reader Yoav send me a mock-up of the X-T10 with a thinner top plate. I shared the images and wanted to know which one the Fuji-X-Forum community prefers. See the pics and make your choice. It now includes also an image of the Fuji X-T10 with XF 35mmF2 WR lens!

X-PRO1

– started by antonio: “Second Body“. Antonio needs a second body. He already owns an X-PRO1. “So wich one the best to pair with X-Pro1, X-E2 or X100s?”. Make your suggestion here.

X-E1/X-E2 – Firmware

– started by Sodela: “Any news about a FW 4.0 update on the E2?”… we could also ask: “will there ever be a FW 4.0 for the X-E2?”. Follow the discussion here.

Fuji X Lenses

– started by Toon: “Your X Lens wish list.” Just Start Dreaming here ;)

X-TRANS RAW CONVERSION
