VERY OLD NEWS RELOADAD
XF50mmF2 WR + Fuji Photokina Page

Here on FujiRumors you are used to get the news as soon as it happens, in real-time… and quite often also before it actually happens.

But it can happen, that sometimes someone of you guys might miss a news. That’s why you should check out FujiRumors every day, and you’ll be sure to be first to know about Fuji’s present… and future ;)

So here are two news, that are currently “brand new” according to some, and I keep getting emails about. So I thought it might be time to share it again, so that I won’t get any emails anymore.

Photokina Page

The dedicated Fuji Photokina Page is an old News, shared by Fujifilm on August 25, and also shared on FujiRumors on the very same day. But it seems some might have missed it, since this new page has been launched along with the XF23mmF2 and X-A3. Of course I’ve shared this news in the Live Blogging. But here is the link again.

XF50mmF2 WR

In the X-A3 First Look on Youtube, Fuji Guy Billy mentioned a mysterious XF50mmF2 WR lens. Some people where really surprised by this, and thought Billy just announced a new lens. So time for a short recap: I’ve shared rumors about the 50mmF2 WR back in May here. The lens has the been officially shared in Fuji’s roadmap already back on July 7, Fuji even showed pics about it at an event, and the X-magazine already told us it will come in Spring 2017. So no… Fuji Guy Billy didn’t announce the XF50mmF2.

What’s more interesting, though, is that he mentions the expertise Fujfiilm has in making Medium Format lenses… who knows why ;)

XF100-400 Review at photozone. From the conclusions:

The Fujinon XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR impressed me quite a bit – not only in the lab but also in the real life. Honestly I was almost about to purchase the lens from the rental company (but I kept my sanity). The center sharpness is very high throughout the zoom range. The borders/corners are also very sharp between 100 and 300mm. Expect slightly softer corners at 400mm though (but then who cares here). Lateral CAs are not a real issue. Most users will keep image auto-correction activated thus neither distortions nor vignetting are issue in this case. The native characteristic isn’t quite as good here though. The quality of the bokeh is very decent for such a lens – at least technically – but don’t expect wonders regarding the depth-of-field at conventional focus distances.”

It Might NOT be Just a HYPE :: Fujifilm X-T2 Autofocus “Super-Fast” + “Formidable AF. Rivals The Most Impressive DSLRs”

Share

Fuji X-T2 BHphoto

It’s Time to Hit the Market, dear Fujifilm X-T2

It… might… not… be… just… a… HYPE!

Maybe the Fujifilm X-T2 Autofocus is really blazing fast!

But let’s go step by step:

Do you know Nathan Wright (ohm-image.net)… yep, the one, who wrote the Novoflex Review series for Fujirumors. Well, if you followed him in the comments here on FujiRumors in the past, then you will know he had no fear to criticize Fujifilm, also very hard, whenever he thought that Fuji deserves it.

Well, Nathan had the chance to put his hands on a production X-T2, and here is what he just shared on Twitter:

AF SUPERFAST

If even Nathan says it, a photographer, who was never scared in the past to criticize Fujifilm under several aspects, then I start to believe that all this is not just a hype!

And that’s not all.

FXF member HendrikOsula tested both, the Fujifilm X-T2 and X-Pro2, at the Summer Biathlon World Championships 2016. And he says here that the “X-T2 is kicking X-Pro2s butt […] I completely missed only few shots out of hundreds!” For his full report (and images) click here. NOTE: don’t forget the X-Pro2 will get the new algorithm in October, too.

Moreover, the very popular French site lesnumeriques (translation) says that the AF of the X-T2 is “formidable” and “it is also excellent in low light“. Overall they consider the X-T2 a “rival for the most impressive DSLRs!”

The Fujifilm X-T2 is Shipping Now… at Least at Some Stores :-)

Share

I know, there is an official “shipping embargo” on the Fujifilm X-T2 set at September 8. And yes, we also know it since this post, that Fujifilm already shipped the X-T2 to stores.

Well, it seems that some stores are just as excited to ship the camera, as customers are excited to finally get it. So it’s the case of Canadian Californian Store OC Camera, who officially said on their instagram page here:

Now Available FujiFilm X-T2 Mirrorless Digital Camera at OC Camera!! We already had our good friend @chrisdiset pick up the first one to come in stock so be sure to stop by today or check out our website

thanks for the link ;)

BREAKING :: The Fujifilm X100T Successor Will Be Called Fujifilm X100F

Share

Fujifilm X100F

[wysija_form id=”1″]

Fujifilm X100F

I know many of you guys are eagerly awaiting rumors about the X100T successor… so here is what I have for you today. I’ve been informed by a New Source (thanks) that the successor of the Fujifilm X100T will be called Fujifilm X100F.

As I told you in this rumor, the expected release for the X100F is 2017. The successor of the X100T was originally planed for Photokina 2016, but after the Kumamoto earthquake in Japan (which affected heavily the Sensor factory), Fujifilm had to deal with a shortage of X-TransIII sensor. So they decided to first focus on the Fujifilm X-T2 and use all the sensors available for the X-T2. Once everything goes back to normal and there will be enough X-TransIII sensors again, then Fujifilm can also release the X100F (in 2017)

cheers
