Fujifilm X-E3 Review and Some Considerations for X-E4

Share

The Fujifilm X-E3 just hit the market, gets great reviews (including the Gold Award at dpreview), but of course no camera on earth is perfect. So Kevin Mullins already has some considerations for the Fujifilm X-E4… you will find it all in the X-E3 roundup down below… enjoy it.

Mr. Leica gets a Fuji

So, if even “Mr. Leica” Thorsten Overgaard decided to grab a Fuji (the X-Pro2), then we now have all the right to say that Fuji is indeed the new Leica :) . A full review of the camera will come after longer testings, but here are Thor’s first impressions.

  • he likes its simplicity (not many buttons) and it brings him back to when he started photography
  • in many ways it feels natural in the hands
  • big compliments to the Fuji manual :)
  • In natural light the skin tones look great and all colors look pretty precise
  • With artificial light in the evening the blue and orange colors are a little bit too strong, but you can get away from auto White balance, but that’s a problem for all cameras to get colors 100% right in such situations
  • he really likes the X-Pro2, and it’s from now on going to travel with with him in a bag with many other Leica gear

7Artisans Will Launch New Fujifilm X Mount Lenses This Year

Share

via Mirrlessrumors via Richard Wong

7Artisans contacted me and told me about their upcoming product roadmap which they haven’t announce before. They have three new lenses coming out before end of this year:

1. 12mm f/2.8 lens for cropped sensor mirrorless cameras: Sony E, Canon EOS-M, Fuji X and Micro Four Thirds.

2. 35mm f/1.2 lens for cropped sensor mirrorless cameras: Sony E, Canon EOS-M, Fuji X and Micro Four Thirds.

3. 35mm f/2 lens for Leica M Mount cameras. And unlike their 50mm f/1.1 lens (review link in this post), the aperture lens of the 35 f/2 will have clicks!!! The de-clicked aperture ring on the 50 f/1.1 lens is probably the biggest complaint I’ve heard about this lens and I did contact them while I was working on the review and suggested them to consider making a clicked version for their future M lenses. So it’s great to hear they are listening to customers!!

No price or other information about these lenses yet, but they promised they’ll let me know as soon as they are available (which can’t be too far away as it’s already Nov!)
So stay tuned!!

7artisan recently launched the 50mmF1.1 for Fuji X. All 7artisan articles on FR here.

Fujifilm X-Trans… Myths and Truth

Fujifilm X-Trans sensor is the evil, its design is seriously flawed and it causes all kinds of issues. That’s at least what every now and then pops up on the internet.

Since some of these “X-Trans sucks” comments and articles keep up appearing on the web and are sent to me via email, I decided to invest a few minutes of my time to address this here on FujiRumors and let you guys discuss about it in the comments.

Ok… let’s start!
