The WORST Thing About Fujifilm (and Other Brands) according to Chris & Jordan (PP)

Share

In their latest episode, Chris and Jordan run over the worst things of every camera brand.

And after some nice praise for the Fujifilm system overall, they express their main complaint, which are:

  • Menu System needs imrpovements: for example, face detection and subject detection are separate items, slowing you down unnecessarily
  • Fujifilm cameras are more prone to write errors and bad surprises when using certain memory cards. To their credit, though, Fujifilm lists the compatible memory cards. But with other brands, they don’t experience as many issues when using non recommended memory cards

Share

Now that I have told your that the Fujifilm X100V successor will come in early 2024, I am sure that many of you have lots of questions about it.

Questions, that you are free to share down below in the comments and I promise I will work on them and hopefully be able to answer soon.

One of the questions I have not yet the answer to is the name of the X100V successor.

And since I am tired to share rumors calling it the “X100V successor” I thought I’ll do it like this. I will now share a couple of naming options and you vote on the one you like most. The winning name will be used by me for all further rumors (at least until I find out the real name).

Fujinon XF8mm f/3.5 Review: Outstanding Sharpness Wide Open, a Super Lens to Use (ephotozine)

Share

ephotozine has published their Fujinon XF8mm f/3.5 review.

And it’s one of those reviews that, if you suffer from GAS, you better skip. ;)

Summary:

  • central sharpness is outstanding at f/3.5 and f/4, excellent from f/5.6 to f/16 and very good at f/22
  • the edges are good at f/3.5, very good from f/4 to f/11, good at f/16 and fair at f/22
  • Chromatic Aberration is very well controlled
  • no real sign of any color fringing
  • Distortion measures at just -0.62% barrel, which is fantastic for an 8mm lens
  • bokeh quality is very acceptable (although not really the great importance for such a lens)
  • Flare is well under control, even with very bright light sources in the frame
  • Vignetting is present but not excessive for the focal length

Pros

  • Excellent to outstanding central sharpness
  • Weather resistant
  • Low CA
  • Virtually no flare
  • Very low distortion
  • Excellent manufacturing standards
  • Moderate vignetting

Cons

  • Edge sharpness lower than centre
  • No OIS, reliant on camera body IBIS

It looks like Fujifilm released just another winner :). Read the full review with all the details and charts at ephotozine.
