Peak design just updated its popular Leash camera strap and the Cuff wrist strap. Below you can find the official product presentation videos by Peak Design as well as an unboxing and hands on video.
Both straps use the 3rd generation Anchors for easy connection to Leash.
This will be the last time, that we will see the (already discontinued) Fujifilm X-T1 climbing the ranking of major US retailers that high.
In fact, the Fujifilm X-T1 is now marked as “Top Seller” at B&H.
And if you wonder why an almost 4 years old camera can make it again to the very top of the ranking, then the answer is simple
It’s still an amazing camera
It’s up to $900 off currently ($500 discount on the body + a free XF35mmF2 lens)
The stock is running out ( X-T1 + 18-135 combo already listed as discontinued at BHphoto). So if you are interested, make sure to grab your super cheap X-T1 now.
Fujifilm USA offers $650 bonus trade-in discount. Check out the details at the dedicated BHphoto and Adorama pages. Also Europe is offering the trade in deal for the Fujifilm GFX 50s, but also for the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and X-T2. Go the the Fujifilm EU promotion page and select your country for all details.
Recently, I’ve shared a rather negative miXed zone, with stories of people, who sold their X-series cameras. And one of the main reasons for people to give back their Fuji was “video”.
And indeed, for many years, “video” was the weak spot of the X-series.
The problem? As top Fujifilm Manager (and also FujiRumors Lover) Toshihisa Iida said here, the X-Trans sensor requires a 20-30% increase in processing power compared to conventional Bayer sensors… and older EXR I and II processors simply could not process appropriately all the video data.

But things changed with the much faster X-Processor Pro, which dramatically improved the video output of Fujifilm cameras such as the X-T2 and X-Pro2.
Sure, there are still areas, where Fujifilm can improve (such as offering internal F-log), but the X-T2 & Co are finally used with great success by many videographers… and I will share one of them in today’s roundup… including some video-centric articles on Fujirumors you might have missed.

The maker of the new Steelsring smart adapters for C645 and EF lenses adapter wrote a little guest article for FujiRumors, which I’m happy to share with all of you today.
I am happy to announce the success of development of Steelsring smart adapters for C645 and EF lenses to GFX camera body. It is in production now, and will be available for sales in September, it will be reasonably priced, to be announced later.
Automatic lenses identification, includes all C645 lens, and theoretically all EF lens (but only Canon and Sigma lens will be tested).
Accurate lens params (Lens type, name, focal length, zooming info, aperture, etc ) passing to GFX and EXIF recording. So you can use the right info for exposure, and know pictures took by which lens and in what params.
Fast/accurate AF, comparable to FUJI GF native lenses. AF faster than CDAF mode of Sony E cameras. AF is not possible for C645 120 f/4 MACRO and EF brand MF lenses.
Aperture control through camera body, works with all C645 lenses ( Can switch to Lens Aperture Ring control too ) and EF lenses.
Image stablization activation/deactivation for EF lenses with IS, controllable from GFX body.
Plug and play. You just use it as usual, no extra equipment/setup are needed. Mount your lens on the adapter, put the adapter on the camera, turn the camera power on, then you are good to go.
USB socket for self-firmware upgrade.
All above features were implemented and tested already. When sales begining, C645/GFX adapter will be tuned against all C645 lenses including Mutar 1.4x. Not all EF lenses will be tuned into the EF/GFX first firmware release, but it’s upgradable.
Currently tested EF lenses are quite limited,
EF 135 f/2L, EF 24-105 f/4 L I,EF 17-40 f/4 L, EF 35 f/1.4 L I, EF-S 18-55 II, Canon EF TS-E 17 f/4L, Canon EF TS-E 24 f/3.5 II, Canon EF 100 f/2.8 Macro IS II and Sigma 135 f/1.8 art, Sigma 35 f/1.4 ART, Sigma 50 f/1.4 ART .
Sometimes, images speak more than 1,000 words. And this is why I always warmly invite to check out all the great work our 15,000+ strong GFX facebook group is sharing day by day with the community.
But sometimes, we also need words, considerations, opinions, interpretations and suggestions.
So here you have it both again, the images, and the reviews and tests. Enjoy them :)
