I already told you that the Fujifilm X-E3 is be back on Fuji’s “To Do” list. This comes from a reliable source.
Well, I have to add one more tidbit: according to a New Source, the Fujifilm X-E3 will come in fall 2017! But take this with an extra grain of salt for now.
have a Great Day…

Is Sony stiching 4 separate sensor panels into 1 big MF 44×33 MF sensor? That’s what meshmag suggest. The image you see above is what you get with an 8 minutes exposure and body cap on.
No big deal… it works just great :-)
Btw, stiched or not, the “problem” (if we can speak of “problem” when we get such a terrific IQ) with this huge MF sensor is that it uses the same technology used in the 3 years old Pentax 645. The readout is not fast enough to allow 4K, ultra short black-out times etc.
Sensor readout speed is the main area of improvement needed in the GFX. So please Sony, for the second generation stich together 4 sensors with high read-out speed, and the GFX will be perfect :)

Mike Leung shared here: Sea of clouds, Hong Kong In the past, I either use a GND filter or combine two +1 EV and -1 EV photos using Photoshop to achieve the same effect. Thanks to the wide dynamic range of GFX, now I only need a single photo to achieve the same result. #GFX #GF32_64 @64mm

John Beardsworth created a Lightroom plug-in that you might find interesting :)
The plug-in called “jb-X-LR” reads Fujifilm’s film simulation from your RAW file and automatically applies the corresponding profile in Lightroom.
Here is the description:
““Film simulations” are Fujispeak for the camera settings which fine tune JPEG output and which are recorded in the raw files (just like Nikon’s “picture controls” and Canon “picture styles”). X-LR is designed to automatically apply Fuji film simulations in Lightroom.
In Lightroom you briefly see the Fuji rendering in the Import dialog box and in Library, before Adobe’s raw conversion then takes over. Develop’s Camera Calibration panel does allows you to apply profiles which are modelled on theFuji film simulations, that’s no good if you can’t remember which simulation you chose before you pressed the shutter. You may have shot with more than one film simulation setting that day, and the information is not shown anywhere in Lightroom.”
What X-LR does
The plug-in is currently in Beta until April 30 and works for many X-Series cameras and also GFX. But consider that the preview only works on 5 images at a time – the unlocked version has no limit.
You can read all the details at lightroomsolutions.com/plugin-preview-jb-x-lr and lightroomsolutions.com/jb-xlr.
Fellow FR-reader Bernd has downloaded it, used it, and shared how it works and his impressions (in German) at bhofoto.blogspot (translation). Make sure to check it out!

Fujifilm GFX 50S – Unboxing, studio test and my first thoughts at ThePhotonauts youtube… shows also the shadow recovery capability of the camera (see image below and video at 3:12)
1) Fuji GFX-50S | Hands-on Review at wexphotographic youtube
2) Landscape photography in Madeira with the Fujifilm GFX in German at 0816fotograf (translation): ” The camera perfectly supports my very conscious and focused landscape photography and my other photographic aims. Thus the Fujifilm GFX is the ideal tool for the future. It is a professional tool that delivers top results when used correctly.”
3) Fujifilm GFX experience in Norway at williamchua (shooting northern lights with the GFX and testing weather sealing and battery life in extreme conditions): “The details and dynamic range is fantastic. Coupled that with the Fuji colors and the black and white film simulation, its definitely a winner.”
4) GFX 50s First Impressions at fotograficoweb: “The GFX is a pure medium format camera – quintessentially. Feels smaller, like a DSLR, follows the X series brilliant ergonomics and disappears from your hand after a couple of hours letting you focus on photography. And this is probably one of the better attributes of the GFX. It is not an extremely desirable object like a X100F or a X-Pro2 from the design point of view but it is highly functional, specially because it produces MF files […] Is it better than a full-frame DSLR? It is DIFFERENT and not comparable. ”
