[:: UPDATE :: pocket-lint corrected the sentence and now says:  “An update to bring such features to both the X100 and X100S models hasn’t been confirmed – but we wouldn’t entirely rule out the possibility.”]

ORIGINAL POST:

Pocket-lint put its hands on the brand new X100T… and they are “blown away” by it. The electronic rangefinder viewfinder, the real time parallax correction, the sexy look…

But there was one sentence that grabbed my attention more than any other:

“In addition there’s a new Classic Chrome Film Simulation mode and 1/32,000th sec electronic shutter that are new to the series. A firmware update will see these made available in both X100 and X100S models soon.”

Wishful thinking or did a Fuji-rep drop this information into conversation? Is it possible that even the almost 4 years old classic X100 will get such a big firmware update? Or did pocket-lint simply confuse it with the upcoming X-T1 firmware?

work in progress ;),

I know, all the eyes are for the Photokina right now… but maybe you should take a look also at this:

1) The price for the X-M1 with 16-50 kit lens at [shoplink 28260 ebay]top rated plus ebayUS seller Newegg[/shoplink] is almost ridiculous: [shoplink 28260 ebay]get it for $399[/shoplink]! This offers makes the $50 cheaper than the X-A1 with kit lens.

2) It’s again Cameraland, and it’s again the 56mmF1.2. The store sells it [shoplink 28265 ebay]for $899 (save $100)[/shoplink]

3) $100 savings also on the XF 18-135 WR lens at [shoplink 28262 ebay]top rated ebayUS seller dcort212[/shoplink].

[UDPATE: Admiringlight Report] FIRST IMAGES of the XF 16mm f/1.4 & 90mm f/2 (LIVE: Fujirumors Window to Photokina)

Share

XF 16mm f/1.4

The Fujirumors Window to Photokina just started. So, if you can’t go to Photokina (like me), but don’t want to miss anything, stay tuned on Fujiumors also via facebook, google+, RSS-feed and twitter.

[UDPATE: Admiringlight posted a report with some more images of the upcoming lenses. In short: X100T: the new HVF rocks / Graphite X-T1: beautiful / X-T1 firmware: coming in November / 50-140mm: fast focus, marked aperture ring, very pleasant bokeh, zero chromatic abberation “even when shooting sparkling silver jewelry” / 56mm f/1.2 APD: softer out of focus renderings and a bit more wide open contrast. / 140-400mm: 86mm front filter, Very fat, but somewhat short for the focal length / 90mmF2:  larger than any of the 85mm f/1.8 lenses for SLRs / 16-55: “When I inquired about the lack of stabilization, I was told that the 16-55 had the stabilizer removed in order to improve the image quality further“.]

After the 140-400 (click here) more images surface on the web, showing upcoming Fujinon glass:

– the 16mm f/1.4 with focus clutch mechanism, DOF & Focus scale – filter size 67
– the 90mm f/2 – filter size 72

FIRST IMAGE of the 140-400 (mock-up) shown at Photokina + 16-55 without OIS!

The super tele-photo zoom lens will be a 140-400 F4-5.6 weather resistant lens! It’s obviously just a mock-up for now, but you can read in the description:

140-400 1:4-5.6 R LM OIS WR
filter mount: 86
Label – coming in 2015

And if you look at the image at the bottom, you’ll see it: the XF 16-55 has no OIS.

The image was spotted by FR-reader Jacek, Nn & Richard (thanks a lot) via fujifilm, dpreview and ephotozine.

In these days, Fujirumors will be the window to photokina for all X-shooters around the world who can’t, like me, go to Cologne. I’ll search the web for everything of interest around the X-system… and you can help!

If you find something interesting on the web too, or if you actually are at photokina and have a quick report or a useful information to share with other X-enthusiasts, then feel free to drop me an email at fujirumor [at] gmail.com. Or use the rumor box to contact me anonymously.

So follow Fujirumros also via facebook, google+, RSS-feed and twitter. And meet Rico Pfirstinger on Thursday (18SEP) between 10.00 and 11.30 AM at Photokina and ask him anything about Fuji X! Hall 4.1, Booth C27/D24 (d.punkt Verlag).

Oh, and Fuji, just to let you know:

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
