Capture One Pro 9: Download Now Completely Reworked and Improved Fujifilm Film Simulations Profiles (incl. ACROS)

Share

Capture One still does not officially offer Fuji Film Simulation profiles. But don’t worry, FXF member fleckintosh and Scottie Wang invested a lot of time (several weeks!) to create and optimize their own homebrew:

“Here is a completely reworked, refined Set of ICC Profiles for Capture One, made for X-T1. It matches the In-Camera Filmsimulations much better than the original Set, which I posted last October here.

Another Set, made for X-Pro2, Incl. ACROS ICC Profiles, is also included in this post. I renamed them to have an alternative Option for my X-T1. These ICC are slightly different, Blacks & Shadows & Colors are more decent.”

Happy Download at the FXF here.

Fujifilm Patents 100mmF2… but for 1″ sensor camera ** POLL: Should Fuji Develop X-cameras With Sensor Smaller than APS-C?

Share

100mmF2

Fujifilm patents a 100mmF2 lens. If I deciphered correctly the google translated version, it will be a lens for a 1″ sensor camera (via egami):

“Fujifilm patent application of “corresponding to 1.2 100Mm F2 is an optical system. 1.2” I will be 270mm by 35mm Leica conversion and use a little bit in a small 1 “sensor from.”

So what, is Fuji going to ditch the 2/3 sensor camera line and make the upgrade to 1″ sensors? I’ll try to get an answer on this. But, quite frankly, given how compact APS-C cameras can be ([shoplink 48584 ebay]see the Fujifilm X70[/shoplink], which is significantly smaller than the X30 and not really that much bigger than the XQ2), I’m not sure it really makes sense for Fujifilm to invest into cameras that feature a sensor that is smaller than APS-C.

But that’s just my own two cents. I’d be curious to see what you guys think about it, so here is a Poll

Should Fuji Develop X-cameras With Sensor Smaller than APS-C?

This Guy Tested the XF23mmF2 WR at a Fuji Event: “Autofocus Faster than XF35mmF2. Half an Inch Longer than XF35/2”

XF23mmF2 WR Hands On

Zed ProMedia could try out the new Fuji X-T2 at a Fuji event. At the same event, the Fuji Rep also brought the new XF23mmF2 WR, which, as I told you here, will come on August 25 along with the X-A3.

Here is his feedback about the XF23mmF2 WR:

  1. Focus Speed is as fast, if not faster than the XF35mmF2 WR
  2. AF-moter is super-quite
  3. Aperture Ring has about the same resitance of the one in the XF 35mmF2
  4. Focus Ring about double the thickness of the one in the XF35mmF2 WR – See This Leaked Real Life Image
  5. The XF23mmF2 WR is about half an inch (1,3 cm) longer than the XF35mmF2

For the XF23mmF2 feedback, go to minute 04:55 of this youtube video

“Honestly, Given its Lens Quality, it’s Surprising that Fujifilm isn’t More Popular! Best MILC System Out There” – PhotoZone 35/2 + 16/1.4 Reviews

X-shooters know it: Fujinon lenses are just amazing…. and it gets better year after year.

But at the same we X-shooters know, that we are just a marginally niche in the photography world.

And just like Photozone, I also have a hard time to understand, why such an amazing system is not more successful. Photozone says at the end of their XF16mmF1.4 WR review:

“Honestly, given the depth and quality of their lineup, it is quite surprising that Fujifilm isn’t more popular. I, for one, think that it is the best mirrorless system out there (at this stage) and it just got a bit better again.”

You can read the Photozone XF35mmF2 WR Review here. From the conclusions:

“Center quality is great and the borders are also impressive. The corners aren’t quite as good but decent. It is worth mentioning that the quality, primarily the contrast, decreases at very close focus distances. This is probably also the reason why Fujifilm limited the lens to a min. focus distance of 0.35m (1:7.5) which is longer than usual. Lateral CAs are quite low. From a real life perspective, vignetting and distortions are also nothing to worry about. That being said, the Fujinon is slightly underdesigned. It relies on auto-correct to compensate its high original distortions and vignetting. […] the AF is now both very fast and silent.

Finally we have to answer the question how the Fujinon XF 35mm f/2 R WR compares to the Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R. When looking at our ratings the answer is obvious. Yes, the f/2 lens is sharper at all overlapping apertures. The weather sealing as well as the faster AF are also on the plus side. Yet .. nothing beats speed but more speed. If you simply require an ultra-large aperture as well as a superior bokeh, the XF 35mm f/1.4 R is still the better choice – also because it isn’t that much more expensive nor much bigger.”

The XF16mmF1.4 WR Review can be read here. From the conclusions:

“The Fujinon XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR may not knock your socks off like the XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR but it is a capable performer nonetheless. The center quality is just fine at f/1.4 whereas the corners show some softness – emphasized by field curvature. However, how often do you require sharp corners at such a setting anyway? Stopping down to f/2 lifts the quality substantially and it’s impressive from f/4. Lateral CAs are negligible but we spotted a bit of purple fringing in extreme scenes. The amount of vignetting is good unless you disable auto-correction. The (native) amount of distortions is very low for a 24mm lens. The bokeh is surprisingly decent for a lens in this class albeit not without weaknesses.

The AF is speedy and noiseless.
