Key Features and Improvements
In the comments to our huge X-T100 live blogging here, one of our FR-reader Mario Crespi (Instagram @mcm.concepts) designed some X-T100 Concepts and said:
“CONCEPT Camera X T100 C | Why I would pay $200 extra for the newly announced FUJIFILM X-T100 if it had the ideas in this concept.”
Mario (as well asl other fellow FR-readers) also designed for us the Fujifilm GFX 50R concepts here.
Thanks Mario… and looking forward to your next concept :)

In the last years, Fujifilm often won quite some of awards at the TIPA awards.
Well, this year is the worst for Fujifilm, since the “X-series era“. They won 1 award only, and it goes to the Instax Square SQ10 for the “Best Design“.
So the Fujfiilm X-H1 and Fujifilm X-E3 were not good enought to make it into the TIPA ranking. Let’s hope the upcoming Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm GFX 50R will change it next year.
I am surprised, though, that not even one of the astonishing Fujinon lenses has made it into the list. For example, while the winner of the best mirrorless prime lens, the Samyang AF 35mm F2.8 FE, is surely a fine lens, I can’t see it being superior to the equivalent Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8.
So despite TIPA creating overall 40 categories, there is not much love for Fujifilm this year.
Here are all the winners:

Fujifilm just registered an unreleased camera with the code name “FF 180001”.
So what could it be?
Well, here on FujiRumors we rumored the Fujifilm X-T100 since back in September 2017 and we warned you that it will not come in the first quarter of 2018 (within March). However, the first quarter is now over, so maybe we might see in the next few months finally.
The Fujifilm X-T100 will be DSLR-styled Bayer sensor camera with EVF (similar to X-T20), and be more affordable than the current X-T20 (see all X-T100 rumors).
Another option is the X70 successor, which, as we reported here, should have a Bayer sensor, since the current 24MP X-Trans sensor (and the extra processing power required), just creates too many overheating problems in such a small camera body.
I will work on it now and give you guys an update as soon as I can.

In the meantime, read what nokishita, who spotted the registration, writes about it:
“The communication module installed in Fujifilm’s unreleased camera passed overseas certification agencies. Since it is a different radio part from X-E3 and X-H1, it is made by Zakuti just like X-A5.
The distance information to the antenna does not include a protruding part such as a penta part so much, so it will not be very helpful, but the width that will be less uneven appears to be around 121 mm.”

Host system: FF 180001

GUEST POST FEATURE

guest post by Peter Sills – www.digitalfocus.net
Several months ago, I first read about adapters that would allow me to mount my Canon lenses to my new Fujifilm GFX 50S. Interested, I reached out to the various companies mentioned inquiring about their availability and acquiring one for potential testing. Of these, only one, Steelsring, got back to me. After some conversation, we agreed that I would test the unit and write an article as to my findings. Several months later, in December of 2017, I received my adapter.
I was intrigued. When first released, the Steelsring EF>GFX adapter was reported as being the only adapter of its kind which would also property report the Lens EXIF information to the camera and turn off the automatic lens correction (for the Fuji 63mm lens) in the process. Having this ability allows you to create your own special “Lens Profiles” for the camera/lens/adapter combination – something I find quite useful and important.
When the unit arrived, it came in a very attractive wood and aluminum case. It was extremely well packaged and after careful examination appeared to be well constructed as well.
Of course, how these adapters operate is that on one side of the adapter is the Native Mount (Fuji) side, and on the opposing side is the Lens Mount (Canon side). Most adapters are “passive” so there are no contact pins. The Steelsring adapter is of a new generation of mounts that allow a camera to actually obtain accurate focus using “non-native” lenses. In this case Canon lenses.
So, the next step was to mount this to my Fuji GFX and begin testing.
I found the fit to be quite tight and secure, both on the Fuji side and on the Canon side. I would say even more so on the Fuji side. Many of the Canon lenses I found “clicked” right in to place. A few required a little adjustment of the lens release button to ensure they were indeed “locked-in”. Once this was properly engaged, the connection was tight, with no looseness or “wobble” at all.
My objectives were quite simple.
Alright, so how to begin?
