50mmf2

So you can’t get enough new Fuji gear in January? Well, then add this one, too: the Fujifilm XF50mmF2 WR! We’ll get also that one in January.

Fuji is giving us a crazy start in 2017… definitely a great and exciting time to be an X-shooter!

Graphite/Silver X-Pro2, X-T2 and XF23mmF2 to Be Announced * Before * January 19th!

The graphite/silver Fujifilm X-Pro2/X-T2 and XF23mmF2 will be announced before January 19th (when Fujifilm will launch the GFX, X-T20 and X100F). So we are going to have 2 separate announcements in January :)

It’s a Super-Fuji Month… so make sure not to miss anything by:

Fujifilm X100F :: Digital Tele-Converter, No Dual SD-Card Slot + No 4K

Here are a few more X100F specs:

  • Digital Tele-Converter
  • Single SD-Card Slot
  • No 4K

The digital Tele-Converter should work just like the one we find in the Fujiflm X70. And if I remember correctly, using the digital Tele-Converter on the Fujifilm X70 disables RAW shooting. And as much as I love Fuji’s JPEG’s, I think not having a RAW file can be quite a big downside. But it’s nice to have this option anyway.

Evidently, if we want to keep the compact size of the current X100 line, there is not much space for a dual SD-card slot. And the compact size of the X100F might also not help the heat dissipation necessary for the 4K shooting, hence, no 4K.

Rumored Specs

Phase One Says Capture One Won’t Support the Fujifilm GFX: “It’s a Direct Competitor of Our Core Business.”

A Fujifilm GFX facebook member asked Phase One, if they are going to support the Fujifilm GFX. Phase One answer was clear:

It is unlikely that we will support the Fuji GFX 50s – we have a long standing policy of not providing support to direct competitors of our core business.”

Capture 1 also does not support all other Medium Format cameras that are not produced by Phase One, and they already said they won’t support the Hasselblax X1D either. So let’s hope somebody in the Fujifilm community will figure out a fix for that, just like Pentax users did with capturefix, which allows them to work with Pentax 645 files in C1.

With that said, I hope that Capture One will at least work on better support for Fujifilm X-series cameras (especially X-TransIII cameras). We still have no lossless RAW support, no metadata support, no official film simulations, – X-Pro2/T2 no lens correction possible (raw files)…
