A Tale of a Hiking Fuller than Full Frame, a Sony Shooter Lusting after Fujifilm Colors and a Rumor Storm to Come

Share

I Was Gone… Fuller than Full Frame!

This summer my Fujifilm APS-C X gear dominated and found its way in my camera bag most of the time.

May it be my X-T4 used during my holidays on the Elba island in Tuscany with my wife and son, or my top-combo X-E3 with XF27mm2.8 R WR used in many of my short 1 day family friendly mountain hikes.

But not this time!

In fact, I just came back from an extensive multi-day mountain hike in the Dolomites, and this is what I packed:

So how did it go?

Well, the reason I mostly instinctively grab my X series gear is because, in addition to offering a great image quality, compared to my GFX gear it is simply lighter and more compact, plus there are some lenses I truly love in that system, like the XF35mmF1.4 R (which never stops to stun me), the Fujifilm X-E3 with XF27mmF2.8MKII (my go to combo to document my everyday family life) and the XF18-135mmF3.5-5-6.

But the lightness and sheer perfect balance of the APS-C X system made me forget one thing: how portable and flexible actually also Fujifilm’s medium format system is!

As you can see, this is how I hiked for several hours a day: a medium format camera and lens on my hip, the tripod most of the time in my camera bag as IBIS took care to compensate for my tired and shaking hands… and in my heart the certainty that no matter how tricky the light will be, no matter how challenging the conditions, no camera will be able to handle it better than my Fujifilm GFX100S does (unless you use one of those monstrous digital MF cameras, but good luck hiking with those… if you can afford it!)

So we can only be grateful to Fujifilm for making medium format so accessible in terms of size and price.

Meet the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 PRO Autofocus Lens for Fujifilm X Mount – Coming Soon

Share

It’s true, I’ve told you in a previous post that I am not sure I’d be able to report about it, since I am hiking on the Dolomites this weekend, sleeping in mountain huts and enjoying spectacular views.

But what Viltrox just dropped is worth to stop the hiking for a while, find a spot with decent 4G, and quickly report about it.

At Chinese photography fair, Viltrox has just displayed the new Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X Mount.

The images start to circulate on the Chinese social media platform Weibo and you can find all of them right here on FujiRumors.

  • has MF/AF switch
  • a silver “PRO” logo on the lens
  • coming 4th quarter of this year

And since we always quote the source, the original Chinese posts can be found at xjrumo here and MP不是MT啦 here and Camerabeta here.

Fujifilm X-H2: These are All the Rumored Specs (so far) and Some of Them Apply also to Fujifilm X-T5

Share

For your convenience, here are all the rumored Fujifilm X-H2 specs available on the internet (and 100% of those rumored specs have been leaked by FujiRumors ;)).

Fujifilm X-H2

Keep in mind that, since it uses the exactly same body of it’s faster brother, the Fujifilm X-H2S, many specs not listed here can be figured out by looking at the X-H2S.

So for example we know it will take one CFexpress Type B and one UHS-II card, it will have a wonderful EVF, a PSAM dial, fully articulating screen and what more.

Also, it will obviously have the same AF tracking features of the Fujifilm X-H2S, so subject/animal tracking will also be on the X-H2.

The list above mainly focuses on the differences between the Fujifilm X-H2S and the Fujifilm X-H2.

And keep in mind, the X-H2 and X-T5 will share the same core specs (sensor and processor), so I’d not be surprised to see quite of those specs come also to the X-T5. For example, I’d expect the Fujifilm X-T5 to have base ISO 125, improved ISO performance and I hope also pixel shift and 8K video (although this is just a wish of mine, not at all a rumor, so please don’t sh*tstorm on me if the X-T5 does not have that).

In any case it is worth also for X-T line lovers to follow the X-H2 rumors, as the X-T5 might encapsulate lots (hopefull all) of the goodness the X-H2 will unveil on September 8.

Don’t Worry: Why Fujifilm X-H2 with ISO 125 Can’t Be Compared with ISO 125 on Sony, Canon and Nikon

Share

When I shared the rumor of the Fujifilm X-H2 having base ISO125, there were complaints of people saying that other brands offer base ISO100 or even ISO64.

But maybe we should not moan (for now), and I will try to explain why.

CIPA, the technical association of the Japanese camera industry, introduced in 2006 two new measures of the sensitivity of a digital camera, recommended for use instead of the ISO speed rating. They are standard output sensitivity (SOS) and recommended exposure index (REI).

So two different standards: ISO SOS and ISO REI.

Companies like Canon, Sony and Nikon use REI standard, whereas companies like Fujifilm, Pentax and Olympus use SOS standard.

ISO SOS is considered more objective. ISO REI gives more “freedom” to the camera manufacturer (hence it is considered less objective).

Standard output sensitivity (SOS) is an objective measure defined in essentially the same fashion as ISO speed (for one of the two bases of ISO speed), but which normally will have a value about 0.71 of the ISO speed.

Recommended exposure index (REI) is the value the camera manufacturer recommends be used as the exposure index setting. It is not specified to be determined in any specific objective way, but may be chosen empirically to give what the manufacturer feels will be the best exposure results for most users in most cases*.

You can go through all the technicalities yourself in the document linked below.

But what it means in short is that you can’t really compare ISO125 on a Fujifilm camera with ISO125 on a Nikon/Canon/Sony camera.

Will ISO125 be more comparable to ISO64 on Nikon as some say in the comments here on FujiRumors?

Well, I don’t know that.

But what I know is that on September 8th at 2PM New York time we will know a lot more about how well ISO125 on the X-H2 performs (starting from the improved low/high ISO performance).
