Just Launched: Affinity Photo (for MAC) now with 2-week promo discount! The PhotoShop Alternative?

Back in February, we talked about the Affinity Photo Beta in this post. Well, now the final version has just been released (for MAC only – subscription free). It supports all Fujfilm Cameras, but not yet the X-T10. The Full list of supported cameras can be checked out here. The Full list of features can be seen here.

For the launch, they decided to offer a 2-week promo, bringing the price down to US$39.99 / €39.99 / £29.99 (usual price US$49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99). You can download it at the Mac App Store.

Is this the subscription free alternative to Photoshop? And how good is the X-Trans conversion?

As you can see from the image above, BHphoto started shipping the XF 90mmF2 WR lens.

This is probably the best lens in the Fujinon lineup. I’m really curious to see your images and read your impressions. You can share them on the Fuji X Forum and at FR-facebook page.

And apparently, as posted earlier here, this lens will leave even the most pedantic pixel peepers speechless!
