Greetz to all Fuji Lovers from Rome – X-E3 with 18-55 and Sirui T-025X

Fantastic Feedback… How is it Possible?

We have reported several X-H1 bugs (which will be fixed soon via Firmware update) and some more negative X-H1 feedback. And yet, there are some, who simply have a fantastic camera. A good battery life, an incredible autofocus and more.

Looking at our great Fujifilm X-H1 facebook group, in many cases, the fix is as simple as that: get the settings right!

Reading the manual helps a lot (so you can stop panic’ing when your EVF/LCD suddenly stutters… you will discover it’s a power saving mode you can turn off ;) ).

But the manual does not tell the whole story.

There are a lot of tips and tricks to make the camera work best for your needs, that I highly recommend to read books like the ones of Rico Pfirstinger, who shares plenty of useful tips and tricks about the X100F, X-T20, X-T2, X-Pro2 as well as older cameras like the X-E2, X-T1, X-T10, X-E1 and X-Pro1.

Since the Fujifilm X-H1 shares many similar features, and carries all the X-DNA inside, it might be useful for you to maybe grab the X-T2 book, which will in large part also applicable to the Fujifilm X-H1.

With that said… let’s share today’s Fujifilm X-H1 roundup :)

Great Battery Life?

Some Fujifilm X-H1 users over at our Fujifilm X-H facebook group report surprisingly good battery life for the X-H1. For example, Miklos wirtes:

Many people complain about the battery performance of the x-h1. I use it mostly for sports. Here is my experience. With battery grip after shooting one soccer game in close to zero degrees centigrade the first battery in the grip at 64%. The other two still at 100%. 1300 shots taken. The camera and the grip are both in high performance or boost mode. Also, I do not review photos while I shoot sports. Do we need better battery performance than this??? In case someone is interested also to see the photos at miklosphoto

X-H1 for Weddings

Fujifilm X-H facebook member James use his Fujifilm X-H1 for his first wedding. I will share his impressions here, but in order to comment and interact with him, you better check out his facebook post in the group.

Shot my first 2018 wedding. Initial Thoughts on X-H1:

• No bugs or issues. At all. Thankfully!
• Highly Responsive.
• Focus was very accurate in low light. Low light simply isn’t an issue.
• ISO performance is amazing (I use 1.4 and 1.2 lenses so that helps a lot).
• QUIET. I don’t think the bridal party knew I was taking any pictures lol
• With the Godox trigger system and flashes, it tends to have a millisecond or so delay when clicking the shutter. Wasn’t too thrilled about that but it’s not a dealbreaker.
• Shot close to 1000 raw photos until the battery was at 23% and I switched it then. Definitely can blow through a 32GB card at compressed raw file settings with one battery.
• Noticed in broad daylight that the back LCD screen really needs to be brighter.

That’s all for now! I’m absolutely wiped! Lol

Laowa 9mm F2.8 Reviews

The Venus Laowa 9mm F2.8 Zero-D is grabbing quite some attention lately and getting lots of very positive reviews, such as the one of Jonas Rask.

Venus Optics is now taking pre-orders on the Laowa 9mm F2.8 Zero-D. First comes first, so order now to be high on waiting list.

To order, or not to order? That is the question.

Personally I do own the Samyang/Rokinon 12mm F2 as well as the Fujinon XF10-24, so actually I do not really “need” the Laowa 9mm F2.8. However, the lens performs well and looks so ridiculously small, that I can imagine it’s just a joy to travel with such a small and light super wide-angle lens.

Well, let’s try to make your decision if to order it or not a bit easier, so here are a 3 reviews, that might help you in your decision.

Laowa 9mm F2.8 Review:

UPDATE: Venus Optics is now taking pre-orders on their latest lens, the Laowa 9mm F2.8 Zero-D (zero distortion). The first 100 people buying this lens will get a set of 49mm filters (ND 1000 + CPL +UV ) for free. First comes first, so order now to be high on waiting list. The lens is not yet available at BHphoto & Co.

Jonas Rask just published his Laowa 9mm F2.8 Review… and it comes with tons of stunning samples at jonasraskphotography.

Here some excerpts:

• absolutely tiny and stelar build quality
• rectilinear lens, nice straight lines right to the corners
• It is really sharp in the 3/4 central part of the frame, but it loses a little bit of sharpness towards the edges, there’s also a fair bit of vignetting when shot at f/2.8
• some gorgeous sun stars
• vibrant colours and some great contrast
• this lens is pure fun, fun, fun!
• It’s such and amazing performer, especially when you take the small size into account.
• suggest retail price of $499
• Easily one of the most usable lenses I’ve ever mounted on my X-series system (And I have mounted A LOT over the years!)

Don’t forget to check out all the fantastic samples Jonas Rask took with this lens at jonasraskphotography.

The Laowa 9mm F2.8 will be soon available for pre-order at VenusOptics, AmazonUS, BHphoto and Adorama

Kai’s Fujifilm X-H1 Review

Kai reviewed the Fujifilm X-H1. Here are some of his findings:

• Fujifilm lied about IBIS wasn’t compatible with X mount ;)
• always loves the Fujifilm colors
• amazing shutter, super silent
• better weather sealed than X-T2
• X-H1 feels right in the hands, even with grip
• a proper Pro camera
• he loves the top Ink-screen
• AF and eye/face AF is pretty good in video
• video footage seriously good, solid amount of dynamic range
• in low contrast and low light he experienced situations where video focus was really bad
• focus sticks on your subject like glue in stills mode, quite a phenomenal camera
• no zebra and not so responsive touch screen
• tough choice between X-H1 and A7III
