Fujifilm GFX

In my last Fujifilm GFX roundup, some of you guys noticed that all images I shared were taken with adapted glass on GFX.

Sure, if all you care is the ultimate sharpness and clinically perfect image output, go for any of the Fujinon GF lenses. They are nothing but perfect and will just blow you away (just as X-mount glass does).

But maybe, sometimes, what you want is not the ultimate sharpness, but a certain “character”, a certain “look”, a unique rendering only some old vintage glass can give you.

And it seems that the Fujifilm GFX 50s is just the perfect system, if you want to breathe life into your old glass. It’s fun, it’s flexible (also thanks to the focal plane shutter), and it’s the most affordable medium format system in the known universe.

And hell yes… I do think I should really start again my GFX fundraising campaign, because otherwise I’m afraid that when I’m back teaching, things like these will happen all over again ;) .

Enough said, Patrick, let FR readers enjoy some good GFX stuff… so here it is :)

Fujifilm XF 200mm F2 Lens Rumors Confirmed… How Much Would You Pay for It?

Share

Do you remember the first XF200mmF2 rumor?… No?… Oh well, that was quite some time ago indeed (February 2016!!!)

But you guys are now just as experienced as me, when it comes to Fujifilm rumors, and you know perfectly that in the fantastic Fujifilm world everything can change anytime.

Lenses in the official Fujifilm roadmap can be scratched (XF 120mm) or changed (from XF56/1.4 to XF56/1.2), products at an advanced development stage can be cancelled (X-Pro1s), prices of brand new X-gear can change just 2 days after they have been announced (X70) and a lot more.

This is why our sources always kept an eye on the “old” XF 200mm F2 rumor… ready to inform us if there will be any changes.

In fact, after the first XF200/2 rumors we shared and the huge debate we had on Fujirumors in several articles, Fujifilm officially said that they are still undecided between XF200/2 and XF200/2.8. Quote: “There’s a big difference between a 200mm f/2.8 and a 200mm f/2 – they’re totally different.”

Shortly after the Fujifilm manager statement, on March 1, 2017, I confirmed here that the XF200mm is still planed as F2 lens.

Well, I just got another update, and once more I can say, that at this stage Fujifilm is still working on the XF 200mm F2 lens… and that’s a good thing, since the majority of those, considering to buy the XF 200mm, prefer to have a max. aperture of F2.

Of course, the more time passes, the more it is unlikely that Fujifilm will change it to F2.8… but as we all know, nothing is impossible in Fujiland :)

I would buy a...

Fujifilm X-E3 will Shoot 4K Video

Share

Ok guys, I’ll keep it short this time because I’m babysitting and we are trying to build a rangefinder Lego Camera like this one now : )

Today’s rumor is as simple as that: the Fujifilm X-E3 will shoot 4K video.

And in the meantime…. Billy, keep up fighting for 4K on X-Pro2… or the X-Pro2 will be the only X-TransIII camera that can’t shoot 4K!

Talking with David duChemin, and looking back at our favourite episodes! at TCSTV youtube. It’s a very interesting and entertaining talk. Watch it all. But if you want to know what gear David is using, go to minute 17:50 (hint: X-T2). And what’s the worst camera he has ever used? That will be answered at 20:50 ;)

X-Pro2 Rocks :)

Yes, the Fujifilm X-Pro2 might not sell nowhere near as good as the Fujifilm X-T2, but there are enough people out there, who love it, and prefer it over any other X-series cameras… and I will feature a few of them in today’s mixed zone.

Just one thing could Fujifilm do better: give it as much Kaizen love as to the X-T line. I’m still quite annoyed, that a recent firmware allowed the X-T2 to control ISO with command dial (as it’s possible on X100F), but they did not add this function on the X-Pro2. Seriously Fujifilm… you’ve got to fix this! And let’s hope that Fuji Guy’s Billy fight with Japan for 4K video on X-Pro2 will be successful, too.
