Finally Online: the Fujifilm X100T review of riflessifotografici! Here an excerpt:

“I lately switched from the X-Pro1 to the X-T1 and sometimes I found myself thinking nostalgically to the “old” Hybrid viewfinder. This is not to say that the electronic viewfinder is not good, because it’s not true. The electronic viewfinder is what makes CSC cameras special since you can visualize what would be the final result before you push the shutter button. The thing is that, sometimes, photography is not necessarily rational. Sometimes instinct wins over thinking, the heart wins over the brain…sometimes you just touch a camera and it’s love at first sight…You either love it immediately or you’ll never love it. Again, this is not rational, but we all know it works like that.”

ADOBE says: “We will improve X-TRANS detail rendering and overall edge definition.” – PS CC, LR CC and LR6 Updated

photo jiv_zpst0slocvy.png

photo cinaosnfe_zps31d7rgsk.jpg

By FR-reader EvG (Files in the Comments): “The improvement is there, it’s not a big one though. The colors get more saturated and high contrast transitions loose the white halos. Here are couple of images that I just edited yesterday before the update, and exported today again after update (those are from raw files from slrclub review of xf 10-24)“

_ _ _

For the first time, there is an official statement of Adobe to what belongs their X-Trans demosaicing:

“We have reduced “color blur” artifacts when processing Fujifilm X-Trans raw images. In collaboration with Fujifilm, we are still investigating methods to improve fine detail rendering and overall edge definition.”

So we have already one improvement, and more will come. I guess we now also have the answer to the question FXF Member FabX, who asked: “is there any sign or news of improvements in LR6 regardnig X-trans treatment?” Yes, finally :) .

Adobe also updated PhotoShop CC, Lightroom CC and Lightroom 6.1 with new features (but not for LR6 – no new features for the standalone version), and adds support for the Fujifilm X-T10.

Hi, I’m the Fuji-tive, and who are you? From now on, direct links to your FXF profile. Feel free to present yourself to the X-world :)

photo fujia_zpstmumwwyu.jpg
photo aaaaee_zpsqwl9w8gm.png

I’m The Fuji-tive, so I can’t share too many details on my personal FXF profile ;). But for all the others, it could be worth to take a few minutes and fill it in properly.

And here is why:

Starting from the next “Best of FXF zone” (see episode 1, 2 and 3), I’ll link DIRECTLY to the FXF Profile of those Forum Members, who have launched a hot thread or shared a top voted image.

So, if you want, you can introduce yourself to fellow X-shooters in your FXF Profile and also share your own blog, portfolio, Flickr account, contact details and more.

And today, one month after the Fuji X Forum launch, allow me to express my thanks to:

1) Thanks to all those, who already joined the FXF. It’s great to see how quickly a friendly community is coming together. I’m having lots of fun there and learn (and share) many things… feel free to join us, too.

2) Sure, when the Admin of the 5 years old German Fuji-X-Forum and my humble self decided to cooperate and launch the English FXF sister Forum, I knew that I was in professional hands: he had the knowledge, the experience, the workflow, was familiar with the forum software and more… but the reality even exceeded my expectation. He’s working hard and meticulously, always ready for a Skype call, quick replies to emails and has great ideas for the future of the Forum! Just Amazing! Thanks, FX Admin!

That’s it… I’ll now prepare the next “Best of FXF zone“, which should go online soon.

XF 100-400 Aperture Range now from 4.5 to 5.6? – POLL: Better Slower & Smaller (and cheaper) or Bigger & Faster?

photo 100-400 aperture range_zpsjponnyeu.png

[shoplink 36240 ebay]XF 16mmF1.4 WR[/shoplink] – save $150

XF 100-400 Recap:

– July 2014: Fujifilm releases a new roadmap, showing a super tele-photo zoom lens coming in late 2015.
– Photokina, September 2014: Fujifilm shows XF 140-400 mock-up with an aperture range that goes from F4 to F5.6.
– February 2015: Fujifilm updates the roadmap and now shows an XF 100-400 coming in early 2016… no aperture range indication on the roadmap
– CP+, February 2015: a journalist of ValueTechTV says that the XF 100-400 release was delayed, because Fuji decided to change the aperture range at the wide end and make it slower and smaller.
– The latest roadmap shared by FR-reader Stalkdog here, shows that Fuji will release the XF 100-400 in March 2016.

Now, FR-reader aki noted, that the roadmap shows an XF 100-400 that is 4.5 at the wide and 5.6 at the long end, confirming what the journalist at ValueTech said.

Well, since we now have the unequivocal evidence that FujiFilm reads FujiRumors, we can let them know what we think about the XF 100-400 aperture. Is it better not to care about the size (since it will be big anyway) and make a F4 constant zoom out of it? Or should Fuji try to contain its size (and price) by making it slower (F4.5-5.6)? Or maybe just keep the aperture range they displayed at Photokina (F4 to F5.6 – at that time the lens was planed as 140-400)?

Your thoughts are appreciated and keep in mind: Fujifilm is watching you ;)
