RUMOR: Fujifilm plans a Super Fast F/1.0 lens! (New Source)

Share

First take the Grain of Salt… and then you can start dreaming ;)

According to a New Source, Fujifilm is working on a Super Fast XF lens, that will have a widest opening of F1.0. The source says that the specs are not final until now, but the focal length planed at the moment is around 30mm.

Consider that it looks like we are in the early stages of development of this lens, so there might be some changes in the specs (if this rumor is true at all… remember, grain of salt)

The fastest XF lens available until now is the 56mmF1.2 (now $150 off!), which delivers sharp results all over the frame even at its maximum aperture. So Fujifilm has definitely the know-how and potential to design a lens that delivers astonishing results even at F/1.0.

What would be your ideal focal length for such an über-fast F1.0 lens?

“Sharp from edge to edge at f/1.4, Nice Bokeh, Fast & Accurate AF” XF 16mmF1.4 review at thedigitaltrekker

Share

Matt Brandon tested the XF 16mm F1.4 in Kenya. You can read his first impression at thedigitaltrekker. Here an excerpt:

The lens is weather sealed and becomes a great addition to the the weather sealed X-T1. Twice on this trip I was shooting in the rain and the camera got completely drenched. Not a problem. […] It is fast, so it will be useful in low light situations, it is sharp and focuses quickly and accurately. What more can a photographer want?”

It seems that this time, the rumor shared first here on FR was correct: Lightroom 6 will come on Tuesday, April 21. There is a teaser about an imminent launch of “something BIG” at lightroomkillertips. Scott Kelby doesn’t expressly say it’s LR 6, but it’s very likely that we will soon see the rumor confirmed… and see if Adobe has improved the X-Trans demosaicing.

The Biggest Fuji X Lover Ever says: “The X-system has been a Boon For my Travel Photography!”

Share

The X-series is more than “just” high quality lenses, great cameras & top-notch IQ. It’s, for many, a refreshing and liberating way to shoot… a way to (re)discover photography. Passion, Fun, Inspiration, Lightness and Freedom are an essential part of the X-shooter eXperience.

So it’s no surprise that we can find a growing number of huge Fuji X Fans out there, who want to show their love for the X-system to the world. It was passion that brought me to launch this blog back in times when there were just a handful of X-shooters out there. FujiRumors was my personal way to share my eXcitement for the new X-shooter eXperience, but…

… but there are some, who have way more original ways to express their passion! One of them is Brandon:

“I’ve been a fujifilm lover since my first fuji 4700  back in 2000. I have always had some fairly zany hair and not long after getting the camera, I took the opportunity to show off my love with my hairstyle. After the 4700, I moved on to a minolta dimage, then joined the canon family.  I added an X-E1 to my collection for travel, and once I got my hands on an X-E2, I sold all of my Canon gear (including my 5DMKIII) and have been exclusively fuji ever since.  Thanks for the great site and sharing so much information about our beloved platform.  The X-system cameras and lenses have been a boon for my travel photography and I can’t wait to get my hands on an X-Pro2! Have a great day! Clix // Brandon HomeSick.com

Now, you don’t have to cut your hair like this too, to show your passion for the X-system. Maybe a nice T-shirt would be just enough, as Tatjana shared here and Wim here… and as you know, all the profits go to Charity in Cambodia. Learn more about the X-shirts here. Buy it here in USA and here in Europe & CO.

enjoy your Sunday and take some nice shots with your X today… and feel free to share your favorite X-shots at the X-shooter facebook zone,
