Fujinon XF200mmF2 OIS WR

Hey all…

I hear that the Fujinon XF200mmF2 will cost around $6,000!

Yes, I know this is a hefty price, and you can basically buy a medium format Fujifilm GFX 50S for the same money. But also consider that equivalent lenses in the CaNikon world are also not a bargain.

In fact, the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II costs $6,100 and the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II costs $5,500.

As I already told you back in September 2017 here, the Fujifilm XF200mmF2 will be compatible with the 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverter, which will give you respectively a 280mmF2.8 and 400mmF4 lens.

Attacking the Niche

I’m sure that the XF200mmF2 will be a fantastic lens, but to track my 13 years old dog, I’ll stick with my XF 55-200 ;) .

However, for professional sports photographers, this lens will be a game changer.

Overall I think it makes a whole lot of sense for Fujifilm to launch such glass.

Fujifilm already offers the vastest lens range in the mirrorless APS-C world and now they must to “attack” those niches, who need THAT particular lens, before they can switch completely to Fujifilm.

Not only XF200mmF2, but also tilt shift lenses or even ultra fast lenses like the XF33mmF1.0 come to mind.

So let us know in the comments, which “niche-glass” you think Fujifilm should launch next.

Fujifilm X-H1 Autofocus

Over a month ago here, we already told you that the Fujifilm X-H1 will have an improved autofocus compared to any X-series camera currently available.

At that time, though, it was still “just” a rumor from a new source.

But now I can confirm from long time trusted sources that,

the autofocus of the Fujifilm X-H1 will be even more accurate and has better low light focusing than Fujifilm X-T2

I know some of you guys are still sceptic about the X-H1, and that’s a good thing, because once it will be announced on February 15, you will be all extremely positively surprised ;) .

Updated Full X-H1 Rumored Specs

Fujifilm X RAW STUDIO

Hey all :)

Just a rumor flash to tell you that according to our sources (thanks), also the Fujifilm X-E3 will get X RAW STUDIO Support.

I remind you that Fujifilm Germany said here, that also the X-T20 will get X RAW STUDIO support as part of an “extensive firmware update” planed for early 2018 and that currently X RAW STUDIO supports the Fujifilm GFX 50S, X-T2, X-Pro2 and X100F.

This is a welcome news for all fellow Fujifilm X shooters, who don’t do major editing work in Lightroom & Co, because they love Fujifilm’s JPEG output and they just use the internal RAW converter to fine tune their images by changing white balance, film simulation, exposure and so forth,

X RAW STUDIO is a free, simple but efficient RAW converter software offered by Fujifilm, that allows you to use the in-camera processing engine to edit images on a proper computer screen and to see those changes applied to your images in real-time, as opposed to converting them in-camera, where you will only see how your changes affect your images, after you process them by clicking the “Q” button.

Personally I do use the in-camera RAW converter a lot, and frankly I would never buy into a system anymore, that does not have this feature.

I do like it to make quick adjustments to my images right in camera.

But I don’t think the X RAW STUDIO software will be something I use, because for me, the internal RAW conversion is all about “on field” use. Take an image, adjust it in camera and upload to social media right away.

But when I am back home and on my computer, I don’t see any use for the internal RAW converter anymore. I have Lightroom, Iridient, Luminar, Picktorial and enough RAW converters to take my time to work more seriously on my files… which isn’t necessary that often, though, since Fujifilm’s JPEGs out of the box or slightly adjusted with the internal RAW converter often give me already fantastic results.

With that said, we all have different workflows and preferences, and I can see quite some X Shooters preferring to edit their images using X RAW STUDIO at home, rather than using the internal converter on the field. So Fujifilm X-E3, X-T20 (&more) support is definitely welcome.

Fujifilm X100F

Hey all,

the weekend is finally about to start, and I thought it would be nice to end the week with a little rumor.

So here it is… our trusted sources inform us that Fujifilm will launch a brown Fujifilm X100F.

The Fujifilm X100F is a tremendous success for Fujifilm, way beyond anything that its predecessors could achieve in terms of sales. And in future we will get a brown version, too.

And if you own an X100F, Rico’s Fujifilm X100F eBook “101 X-pert Tips to get the most out of your camera“, is now available at RockyNook here. Includes PDF, iBook/ePub & Mobi/Kindle. Save 40% with code “Fuji40”

Lightroom and X-Trans

Adobe is preparing a (much needed!!) major Lightroom Classic CC performance update, and there is a very good news also for Fujifilm Lovers.

According to dpreview, the import of Fujifilm X-Trans RAW files will be dramatically improved. They write here:

When importing 130 Raw files from the Fujifilm X-T2 (7.6GB in total) and building “Standard” previews, we saw a major performance boost in LR Classic CC 7.2 on our quad-core 2015 MacBook Pro. Roughly 80%, in fact.

LR 7.1 – 4:05 (245 seconds)
LR 7.2 – 50 seconds

This update is not for those of us, who have the standalone version, which won’t get any updates anymore.

Stay tuned on FujiRumors via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter… and huge thanks to all of you, who keep up helping me by sending me links to Fujifilm relevant content. You are a big help.
