Full List of What We Expect to be Announced at Fujifilm X Summit on September 2

Share

The last few weeks have been extremely busy in terms of rumor work here on FujiRumors.

Lots has already been shared, but I am working on so much more.

And since I believe you might enjoy summer, hence might not have spend all that time online, here is a complete recap of what we expect to be announced during the Fujifilm X summit on September 2 in terms of new gear.

All this gear will be available for pre-order on September 2.

And of course, this is the gear I have heard of. I don’t know if anything else will be announced in addition to that. We will find out soon enough.

Of course, FujiRumors will cover the event live here on FujiRumors.

Fujifilm GFX100S with Tamron 150-600 using Fringer EF-GFX Smart Autofocus Adapter [VIDEO]

Share

As we reported already, Fringer will officially release the Fringer EF-GFX smart autofocus adapter in October.

Now Fringer shared a video, showing the performance of the Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 VC G2 on the Fujifilm GFX100S.

Fringer writes:

A very good super telephoto lens for GFX cameras. It fully cover the 44x33mm sensor in all focal range. We also demo its AF performance on Fringer adapter.

Key Features:

  • Electronic aperture control: built-in elecgronic aperture ring similar to native G mount lenses
  • Phase Detection AF Support (AF-S. AF-C, Eye-AF, etc. in GFX100 and GFX100S only). Focus Points fully cover the sensor. DSLR like AF experiences.
  • Supports both lens IS and IBIS (not at the same time). Users may choose between them
  • Supports in-camera lateral chromatic aberration correction

Sensor Cleaning and IBIS

Share

For most users of X-Series cameras, do-it-yourself sensor cleaning with blowers, sticky sticks or swabs is a matter of course. However, things can get a little bit tricky if your camera has IBIS.

by Rico Pfirstinger

Sooner or later, cameras with interchangeable lenses get dust or dirt on the sensor. When the built-in sensor-cleaning function (SET UP > USER SETTING > SENSOR CLEANING > OK) doesn’t help, you can clean the sensor by yourself.

If you leave your camera’s sensor exposed, it will soon collect dust and spots from dried fluids.

Popular Sensor Cleaning Options

  • Touchless cleaning involves using a blower, like the Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, to rid the sensor of dust particles. A key feature of such devices is a filter in the intake valve that prevents contaminated (dusty) air from being blown against the sensor.
Caution! Don’t use compressed air from aerosol cans that contain propellants. Particles could hit the sensor like tiny projectiles and damage the protective surface!
  • Tough sensor dirt (like water or oil stains) requires wet cleaning with a sensor swab. They consist of wipers that are wetted with special cleaning fluids. Wipe one side of the swab from left to right over the full width of the sensor, and then from right to left with the other side of the swab. Your X-mount camera requires swabs that match APS-C-sized sensors.

Fujifilm GFX50SII has X Processor 4 for Faster Autofocus and Nostalgic Negative Film Simulation

Share

According to our sources, the Fujifilm GFX50SII will feature Fuji’s currently most modern processor, the X Processor 4.

We remind you that the original Fujifilm GFX50S uses the previous generation processor, the X Processor Pro.

That’s quite a big deal, as it will allow the Fujifilm GFX50SII to focus faster than its predecessor and also to have all the latest film simulations including the lovely Nostalgic Negative simulation.

To be clear, I doubt it will focus as fast as the Fujifilm GFX100S, as the Fujifilm GFX50SII will still feature a non BSI sensor. But the new X Processor 4 will surely be able to squeeze out all what’s left in terms of AF power from that 50 megapixel sensor.

I believe Fujifilm is about to drop a serious winner on the market.

A specs recap can be found below.
