Fujifilm has just announced the Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 (full details below plus Fuji Guys video and more)
And Instax lovers also get an all new cool app, the INSTAX UP! (video tutorial below)
So Fujifilm is actually capable of making new Apps. That’s good to know and it fuels hopes again for the (already leaked) Fujifilm X App. Fujifilm X and GFX shooters, masters of patience, keep waiting for it with stoic endurance.

Detail of the software update
Ver.8.1.12.1 – download here
The software update Ver.8.1.12.1 incorporates the following issue:
The software bug has been fixed, which caused that the color adjustment with “Color temperature” for “White balance’ did not work well with some Raw data taken by the following models.
they wanted a wider range than 14mm, but at the same time keep the size compact, so they decided to start at 11mm. If you start at 9 or 10mm or go up at 24mm, the lens would become a bit bigger
the hard part of planing new products is to find the balance. It’s always a big discussion
Tamron lens utility App (an App that can control lenses via USB-C connector). The Tamron 11-20mmF2.8 does not have that USB-C connection. That’s because the original lens was made for Sony and at the time there was no lens utility App
in future new lenses will have the system for the Lens Utility App
Tamron is planing to target also videographers with future lenses
final price for the Tamron 11-20mmF2.8 has not yet been set
Fujifilm does have the XF10-24mmF4. Tamron saw the opportunity to offer a similar f/2.8 version of that lens
in APS-C you have better chance to have better exposure with an f/2.8 lens rather than an f/4 lens
minimum focus is 15cm (from the sensor). So nice for macro
Great interview. Just one comment from my side.
I rarely use f/4 on my XF10-24mmF4. I use it mainly for landscape and there I stop down anyway. And if I use it in low light, it’s on a tripod anyway (like in this shot in Prague). But that’s my use. I am well aware that for many others f/2.8 might be a big deal on a wide angle zoom.
But attention: while it is an X mount autofocus lens, it won’t work with all X series cameras.
Samyang says it is will work with X-Trans cameras, but not with Fuji’s Bayer cameras (X-T***, X-A*, X-A** lines).
But that’s not entirely correct, as not all X-Trans cameras are actually compatible. In fact, the X-Trans Fujifilm X-M1 is also not on the list of compatible cameras.
Maybe it would be more correct to say: all the cameras not made by Fujifilm (hence the ones outsourced to the Xacti Corporation), will not worked with the new Samyang.
