Triple X lens review at ePhotozine!

We know almost everything about the Fuji X PRO 1 camera but we are still hungry of X lens reviews! Now the good guys from ePhotozine did the job for us:

1) Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18mm f/2 R Lens Review (Click here to read it): “Optically this lens is capable of delivering superb clarity in the central portion of the frame when stopped down a little. It is a shame that sharpness levels drop off towards the edges of the frame, and doubly so that this optic suffers from noticeable chromatic fringing towards the edges of the frame. Even with this lens’ imperfections, it is a pleasure to use, so long as its weaknesses are taken into consideration.

2) Fujifilm Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R Lens Review (Click here to read it): “With this lenses ability to deliver extremely sharp images, it should win many fans amongst users of this new camera system.

3) Fujifilm Fujinon XF 60mm f/2.4 R Macro Lens Review (Click here to read it): “Sharpness is excellent from corner to corner, CA is pretty much non-existent, and other optical problems like distortion and falloff are also very well controlled. Unfortunately those wishing to use this lens primarily for macro work may find the issue with internal reflections a little too frustrating. The price is about right for the excellent build quality and features, but this lens will really sell itself on its near-perfect optical performance.

Overall it sounds like the 18mm lens is the only one not coming near to perfection. But Fuji already told us that another wide angle lens is in the works, the 14mm f/1.4. Let’s see if it can beat the 18mm quality…

Three new full X PRO 1 reviews posted!

The world wide web is now full of X PRO 1 reviews. And here are the three latest ones:

1) Trustedreviews (Click here): “While it doesn’t come cheap, the X-Pro1 is a serious bit of kit that is sure to reward those who invest in one.” The camera earns 10/10 points!

2) Techradar (Click here): “The images from the Fuji X-Pro1 are superb. They may not have quite the detail that some full-frame cameras are capable of capturing, but they can beat these bigger beasts for dynamic range and noise control.

3) Photographyblog (Click here): “It’s great to see another manufacturer join the compact system camera revolution and bring something truly innovative to the party, so if the Fujifilm X-Pro1 suits your way of shooting and your budget, we have no hesitation at all in highly recommending it.

New Fuji X PRO 1 reviews and news…


new video shot with the X PRO 1

Fuji X-Pro 1 first look at EosHD (Click here): “I just cannot see what such a highly priced camera offers over the NEX 7 other than retro styling and a 1970′s optical viewfinder with some 2012 trimmings. And I cannot see what the lenses and dated AF system offers over the Olympus 45mm F1.8 for Micro Four Thirds or Sony NEX 50mm F1.8 which cost half of what the Fuji optics do. Superior technology, for less money.

Full Fuji X PRO 1 review at ePhotozine (Click here): “The image quality is stunning, with excellent, and I really mean excellent pixel level detail, with excellent colour reproduction, great dynamic range, excellent high ISO noise results and excellent JPEG output straight from the camera.

New day and new Fuji X PRO 1 tests…

Right before the X PRO 1 is going to ship to Europe and Asia websites and reviewers keep posting new reviews and tests. This is the list of the links I found today:

Fujifilm X-Pro1: First Impressions (Invisiblephotographer).
Long exposure photography at Flixelpix.com.
Second part of the german X PRo 1 review at SystemKameraForum. And the third part is here.
Luminous Landscape (Click here) posted the first part of their review.
The spanish Quesabesde (Click here to read the google translation): “Their level of detail and resolution in combination with the three approaches is very high, and performance with high sensitivity is really excellent, with shots at ISO 6400 where the sharpness and saturation of the image does not suffer and chromatic noise are not makes an appearance.

Hope to get my hands on the camera soon!
