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)…

Silver/Graphite Fujifilm X-T2, X-Pro2 and XF 23mmF2 WR Announcement in January

silver-fujifilm-x-t2

The Silver Fujifilm X-T2

I’ve received a hint, that the silver Fujifilm X-T2 should be announced in January.

As you might remember, the silver Fujifilm X-T2 already appeared on the web several times, like on this Australian store. It was listed for sale for the same price of the black X-T2. The reason for the leak, is that at a certain stage Fujifilm planed to release both, the silver and black version at the same time, but then Fujifilm changed plans (as so often). Too bad, that stores already had the official documents that included the silver X-T2 and shared the images on their websites.

The Graphite Fujifilm X-Pro2

I’ve already told you a few months ago, that Fujifilm is planing to release a dark grey X-Pro2. Well, according to hints I got, also this one, just like the silver X-T2, should be announced in January. And it won’t come alone…

The Graphite XF23mmF2 WR

Fujifilm will also launch the graphite XF23mmF2 in January… making it the best companion for the new graphite X-Pro2 :)

The Fujifilm X100F Will Not Be Weather Sealed

According to reliable sources, the Fujifilm X100F will not be weather sealed.

X100T (save $200): BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / FocusCamera

NOTE: The leaked X100F images shared recently here are the 100% real thing.The day it will be unveiled (January 19), just compare it with the images here on FR. You don’t believe me? Then what about a nice bet? If I win, you send me a bottle of wine, and if I lose, I send you one. According to my calculations, I should get enough wine for the entire year 2017 :-)
