Fringer Nikon F to Fujifilm X Smart Autofocus Adapter Prototype – Video Sample

Share

Fringer is currently developing the Nikon F to Fujifilm X smart adapter.

The first engineering sample is now ready and you can see a working prototype in the video above.

It supports electronic aperture control for D, G and E lenses and auto focus for AF-S and AF-P lenses. Like Fringer EF-FX adapters, PDAF works very well on newer X-Trans cameras like Fujifilm X-T3, Fujifilm X-T4, etc.

In the demo video, you will see:

The product is still under development. Time to market is yet unknown.

Make sure to follow FujiRumors to stay up to date and get instant notification as soon as there is any update.

We remind you that also Steelsring announced a Nikon F to Fujifilm X smart adapter development back in May 2018, but they still list it as “coming soon” and no updates have been given in a long while. What we got from Steelsring, though, is the Nikon F to Fujifilm GFX smart adapter, which also has the first customer review at AmazonUS.

Is This Kid Teaching you How to Clean Your Fujifilm Gear, or Her Daddy Looking for Excuses to Buy the Upcoming XF 50mm F1.0? ;)

Share

Here is a little weekend curiosity!

Fellow Fujifilm X-T group member Marrku has shared this video post on the group, where you can see Fuji’s youngest engineer showing you how to clean your Fujifilm gear. In this case I think we have a Fujifilm X-T10 and the Fujinon XF56mmF1.2.

Or wait, maybe it’s a strategy of her daddy. I mean, what better excuse to buy the upcoming Fujinon XF50mm F1.0, then going home and explain to his better half, that the kid destroyed the XF56mmF1.2? ;)

To me, this looks also like a very efficient method to rapidly cool down those Canon EOS R5/6 cameras ;).

Digital Camera Market Share 2019: Canon is King, Fujifilm Stable 4th, Nikon is Falling, Olympus is Out

Share

You might remember, how back in 2019 we reported Techno System Research data (a major marketing research company located in Japan) regarding the global mirrorless camera market share. We saw that Fujifilm was on an impressive 3rd position, very close to Canon. Check it out here.

Now Techno System Research has published the data regarding the digital camera market share (hence DSLR and Mirrorless combined). The data takes into account the 14.8 million cameras sold last year (2019).

As to expect, the ranking changes quite a bit compared to the mirrorless only data.

  • Canon: 45,4% (+2.4%)
  • Sony: 20.2% (+0.9%)
  • Nikon: 18.6% (-1.6%)
  • Fujifilm: 4.7% (-0.4%)
  • Panasonic: 4.7% (0.0%)

Nikon lost its Nr.2 position and sees the biggest market share loss of the top 5 companies. Olympus is out of the ranking, replaced on the 5th position by Panasonic. Sony dominates mirrorless, but DSLR sales are still high and keep Canon first.

And Fujifilm?

Well, Fujifilm stayed rather stable on the 4th position, with a 0.4% market share decrease. Not sure if we should rejoice, because they found their safe niche, or worry that they didn’t gain market share.

Also interesting to note: the digital camera market saw a year-to-year decrease of about 20% in 2019 and also in 2018.
