Fuji seems to have found the right idea to make the hybrid viewfinder compatible with ANY lenses! Egami (Click here) spotted a new patent describing the solution. The Electronic viewfinder will detect the focal length of the attached third party lens and optimize the optical viewfinder to it. More or less this is the idea behind it :)
What you see here on top is a rendering of the future 35mm f/0.95 lens for the X system made by the chinese company ShenyangZhongyi. The company name is unkown to me and I don’t knwo their history. But every new lens for the X system is welcome. Hope the bigger ones like Sigma and Tokina will do some lenses too!

Ther eis no day without a new X PRO 1 test. So here is the next wrap up:
Engadget (Click here) posted their final X PRO 1 test: “The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a work of art, and like any masterpiece there’ll be some who hate it and others who get into heated bidding wars. If you’re sensible and price-conscious, then by rights you should be waiting for the auctioneer to bring out the Olympus OM-D E-M5. Or you should be looking at the X100, or even considering a DSLR, before investing this amount of money. But if the retro form factor befits your personality, you have an abundance of cash and you care about the subtleties of the sensor’s output, a powerful viewfinder and great controls, then there’s every reason to buy in.”

First day on the street with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 by Patrick Braun (Click here).
The french blog Photo Fusina (Click here) received that special X PRO 1 package from Fuji (cat not included says the author). The wood case included:
– The three lenses (18mm/f2, and a 35mm/f1.4 60mm/f2.4 with their respective Lens Hoods.
– Leather case with X PRO 1 camera included
– An UV filter,
– The grip,
– Lens cleaning set
– Various small accessories such as case for the UV Filter, CD, battery, …
– Fujifilm SD card 64GB
The author says that Fuji told him that he is now part of the “Fujifilm Pro membership“. This is a new initiative from Fuji and they will soon launch a new website for the “PRO members”. What the author doesn’t know is if that special box will be go for sale for anyone or just for PRO members. As you know Fuji launched a special all Black X100 limited edition so there is a chance they will do something similar with the X PRO 1 too! Let’s cross your fingers!
The X 100 special kit is available at BHphoto (Click here).
