Introduction

The Godox XPro-F has finally hit the market and I managed to get my hands on one of the first ones from Godox. These are my pure unadulterated unbiased thoughts, with the exception of my perceptions of Godox to date which have been largely positive.

Who is Godox?

Godox XPro-F for Fujifilm in Stock at AmazonUS (via third party)

 

Godox XPro-F

The Godox XPro-F wireless trigger is now in stock at AmazonUS here (via third party Pergear – 98% positive feedback in the last 12 months).

NOTE: FR-reader said in the comments that the items are signed as in stock indeed, but Pergear will be able to deliver only February 5th earliest.
NOTE 2: Another FR-reader ordered the trigger and said: “Pergear shipped mine from China, arrives Tuesday. DHL Tracking”

Anyway, the XPro-F is expected to be in stock mid-January, so I guess it will be soon available at BHphoto and Adorama too.

Finally there are a lot of flash options for Fujifilm cameras… but if I should recommend one and only one, I’d say Godox, because it’s just terrific value for the money.

However, lately also Broncolor, Profoto & more added Fujifilm support too, and no doubt that they offer really high quality products. So if you are in those flash-ecosystems already, you can stay there with joy, since you got the support you needed. Unless you invested in Elinchrom… that one is lagging behind, but should come this year, too.

BIG THANKS to the FR-reader, who informed me about it :)

Fujifilm GFX 50S

Full Frame or Medium Format?

What should Fujifilm offer along with its APS-C line up?

Well, I’m glad Fujifilm answered: we should offer the best image quality of any mirrorless camera ever… hence Medium Format was the obvious choice.

In todays’ Roundup we will tell you how the Fujifilm GFX 50s has been declared Top Camera of 2017 and much more, including many fantastic images shared by fellow Fujifilm GFX shooters at our Fujifilm GFX facebook group.

And don’t worry, the Fujifilm GFX is still on my radar… and as you can see in this image, I’m working restlessly to get the money to buy it ;) .

And just in case you missed it, we have a dedicated Fujifilm GFX facebook page for 100% GFX coverage only.

Godox X-Pro F Trigger Pre-order at BHphoto

After Adorama, now also BHphoto has the Godox X-Pro F trigger available for pre-order here.

BHphoto expects to ship it in mid-January.

This trigger is a must have for those of you, who invested into the Godox system, as it “eclipses all previous triggers for UI and control access“, as Damien Lovegrove told us here,

Godox X-Pro F Fujifilm Trigger Pre-order Available

For many years, Flash support for Fujifilm gear was a major weak spot of the system.

But 2017 was a great year for Fujifilm lovers when it comes to flash support. Now X-shooters have a wide variety of options, with Godox quickly becoming the most popular one. Some big players (Elinchrom!!) are still not offering Fujifilm support, but they will follow soon.

Now Godox finally released their Fujifilm compatible Godox XPro-F trigger, and as Damien Lovegrove told us here, “it eclipses all previous triggers for UI and control access“.

You can pre-order the Godox X-ProF at Adorama (rebranded as flashpoint)

Fujifilm GFX 50S Faces the Elements

Check out the Josselin Cornou video blog at untitledshot Youtube and some images at Instagram here and here.

TLDR :

  • Fujifilm GFX50s – Kipon EF-GFX – Tamron 15-30mm survived -15C (5 Fahrenheit) with 110km/h (70 mph) wind. It stayed out in the cold for 40min+ when the setup was literally frosting (2 times 15mn exposure, few 30s exposures).
  • Tamron 15-30mm is behaving really well with the Fujifilm GFX. From 18mm-30mm it’s really sharp and still really usable in the corner. I found it sharper in the center than with the Fuji 32-64mm@32mm.
  • So yes I definitely recommend using High definition lenses full frame for the GFX. Most of them are upscaled design to get the extras sharpness – which means that they fit Medium format.
  • And the GFX just behaved really well at those conditions, impressively well actually! (no bug, no crash, no shutdown, etc.). Having up to 60mn exposure is definitely a plus.

Sony A7R3 Vs Fujiflm GFX Dynamic Range Test at PhotonsToPhotos

The Fujifilm GFX still beats the Sony A7RIII, but as reported by SonyAlphaRumors here, things change when using pixel shift, which makes the A7rIII gain extra dynamic range.

The data:

While Fujifilm will release an IBIS camera soon, it won’t have (at least for its start) sensor shift technology.

But it’s Fuji’s first generation of IBIS… give it time, and I’m confident we will get also pixel shift, on both, APS-C and MF cameras.

APS-C vs Full Frame – Does it Make a Difference to You?

GUEST POST FEATURE HERE
Write Your Articles Directly On FujiRumors!

Guest post by theoverratedphotographer – website / instagram @theoverratedphotographer

Preface

On the back of Nikon’s comments that “No professionals use Fuji” and “Full frame is the trend”, I decided it was only appropriate to explore the difference between full frame and APSC, largely from an enthusiasts/amateurs perspective.

Despite what it may look like this is not intended as a click bait article but it will probably will be construed as one and result in the wrath of many full frame owners.

The problem is photographers get defensive when you tell them they don’t need something. Our egos tell us we are better than we are. That’s why we buy the best bicycles, golf clubs and everything else conceivable. We buy ultralight tour de france bicycles that will shave seconds off our ride to work for no apparent reason at all.

This article is not intended to be an APSC vs Full Frame argument from the perspective of trying to prove that APSC is better than Full Frame. The question isn’t whether, it’s better, it’s whether it’s “good enough” to make a difference to you. I can’t make that call, only you can.

We could argue Medium Format has better image quality than Full Frame which has better image quality than APSC. If that was the case, why isn’t every photographer using medium format? The truth is when looking at Medium Format vs Full Frame vs APSC, the argument of “what is better” comes down to a number of different requirements including purpose, size and budget. A DSLR isn’t much help if you are hiking 90km’s with a 40kg backpack and a medium format doesn’t help you much if you are shooting sports. In the absence of budget, one could argue that having all 3 would be the ideal outcome, but very few people live in an environment where budget is not a constraint.

Before the arguments start, what I would like to make clear is that:
