MORE X-MOUNT LENSES: Zonlai 25mmF1.8 + Modula Optical CM33 Pancake 33mmF2 (Kickstarter)

Share

Modula Optica CM33

Modula Optical just launched a Kickstarter campaign to their newly developed lens, the CM33, a pancake style 33mmF2 lens.

The CM33 also has a range of modular upgrade options, like the one they call “Mods” — special optical elements (filters, lenses, etc.) that can be inserted into the middle of the lens near the aperture stop, rather than screwed on the front ring.

If you’re interested, you can take a look at their Kickstarter campaign page, as well as a press release. Modula Optical is offering a very limited number of CM33 lenses at a significant “earlybird” discount for those who back them early.

100% Fair Trade – 100% Charity

Looking for a nice X-mas gift (for yourself or your friends)? Well then you might consider to grab one of the X-shirts.

The special X-mas X-shirts sale just started. Instead of $29,95 you can now purchase them for $14,99 (shipping included). Small, Medium and Large are still available here.

The offer expires on Dec. 31. – Shipping in USA only

The price is changed, but not the purpose of these X-shirts…. 100% of the profits from each sold T-shirt will go directly to KNGO, an NGO in Battambang (Cambodia), that gives access to free education to hundreds of kids. The T-shirts are made by eco-fair-trade fashion lable Tonlé in Cambodia.

$2,700 raised so far

At this point, I’d like express my deepest gratitude to those, who already supported KNGO with the purchase of the X-shirts. We have raised about $2,700 so far. This is a very important support for KNGO. They wrote me and expressed a huuuge thanks to me… which I redirect straight to you. I just had the idea, but you made this support become real. Thanks :-)

So, if you want you can support the project, by buying an X-shirt. It could be a nice X-mas present, too.

Behind the X-shirts

Best Prime 2015? “No Debate: a one-horse race: Fujinon XF 90mmF2 – New King of Sharpness!” – Imaging Resource

_ _ _

Over the last years, the terrific quality of Fujinon lenses has been awarded many times. These recognitions are no surprise for X-shooters, who use these lenses on a daily basis. It is actually the main reason why we bought into the X-system (so says the FR-Poll taken by Fujifilm and displayed to the press).

But the challange now for Fujfilm is to improve, what is already amazing… and with the XF90mmF2 WR lens, Fuji won this challange. It is a spectacular lens. The best Fujinon lens so far.

That’s why imaging-resource, when they declared the best prime of 2015, said:

There was no debate in our discussion for the Best Prime Lens of 2015 – it was a one-horse race and the Fujinon 90mm f/2 was that horse. […] this lens is the new king of sharpness [… ] a rare case of one’s jaw dropping when looking at a blur chart!”

The choice for the best zoom was much harder, with three zooms conteding the Award. At the end it goes to the Canon 11-24mmF4 L, and the second place to the Fuji XF50-140mmF2.8 (now $200 0ff).

Fujifilm X70: Coming with 16MP X-TransII sensor for less than $1000 and with a New Lens!

Share

 photo X70b_zpstyd4xz6e.jpg

I’ve 2 updates regarding the Fuji X70

1) A source, who was right in the past, says that the X70 it will feature the X-TransII 16MP sensor. It will cost less than $1000 and be very compact.

2) A trusted source (who contacts me via rumor box using a nick-name) says it will feature a 28mm lens (which I suppose to be equivalent, this would mean about 18 or 19mm lens on APS-C).

As already rumored earlier, it will be EVF-less
