The first copies of the HS-V5 Tethered Shooting software are now available also at the Fuji Store in UK for £90. For customers who don’t have the HS-V5, “FUJIFILM Tether Shooting Plug-in” will be able to be purchased at Adobe Exchange site.

Fuji’s Tethered Shooting Plugin Debacle
(definition of FXF member craigk49)

Ok… that was the information… and now comes the frustration, as expressed by several FXF members in the tethered shooting thread launched by karinatwork.

First the HS-V5 was available only in Japan. To use the tethered shooting software with Lightroom, you need to install a plug-in. Fuji released this plug-in a few months ago, but had to take it off again in early March, because it was faulty. It took them 2 months to fix the bug and re-release it, but the HS-V5 software was still available only in Japan! Now, at least, it seems that the long-awaited software is leaving the Japanese borders.

However, since the HS-V5 works only with PC, Mac users have to wait for a dedicated Adobe Plug-in, which will be available (not for free) sometimes at the Adobe Exchange site.

A little Good News: according to FXF member craigk49 here, who spoke with a Fuji Guy, the Mac plug-in will be available “soon” on Adobe’s Exchange site.

And let me say this: the software should be free!

XF 90mmF2 WR: “A Royal Deluxe Portrait Lens that beats all previous XF lenses!”: Review and samples of Jonas Rask

Share

 photo forum_zps6m0vx6h2.jpg

FXF Member Toon triggered off a hot discussion at the new FXF – 56mm(APD) or 90mm for potraits?

_ _ _

Is the XF 90mmF2 WR Fuji’s Best Lens in terms of IQ? I had this impression reading the review and especially looking at the tons of samples in Rico’s XF 90mmF2 WR First Look.

Now also jonasraskphotography confirms that it is the best XF lens in terms of IQ. And the inevitable question now is: XF 56mm (APD) or XF 90mm for portraits? A hot debate aroused on the FXF.

Here is an excerpt of what Jonas Rask thinks about it in his First Look:

“The XF 90mm f/2 is the highest performing lens I have ever mounted onto my X-series cameras. It beats all previous XF series lenses in just about every image quality aspect. It’s the royal deluxe model of a portrait lens, and if you are a portrait or fashion photographer using the Fujifilm X-series you cannot pass this lens up. For the system it is quite large, but it is what it is. I’m not even a portrait photographer, but I definitely will add this lens to my arsenal. It really is an amazing lens!
