Luminar 4.3 has just been released.
It adds support for Fujifilm X-T4, X100V and X-T200 cameras.
It also adds new features, introduces a fake sky marketplace and improves performance overall.
You read more at the Luminar 4.3 page here and the press release can be found down below.
Fujifilm X shooters living in UK are definitely lucky.
Not only they get the fastest repairs (as the EU service center is located in UK) and can visit the Fujifilm House of Photography (a worldwide Fujifilm-unique store, where you can already admire the Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0), but since this year, they also offer totally free 48 loans on basically all X and GFX gear (including GFX100).
You can access all details at fujifilm-connect.hireacamera.
I hope this is something that will get extended to other countries too.
What would I rent?
Well, for sure a Fujifilm X-Pro3, and just pass 2 days photographing with it and see how it feels to shoot with the hidden LCD screen, and without a doubt also the Fujifilm GFX100… you know, just to hide in some corner at home and pass a few hours pixel peeping and cropping like crazy ;).
In terms of lenses, I’d surely rent the XF100-400, which is something I am lusting after for some wildlife shots in my mountains and then the GF23mmF4, because, you know, with that GFX100 all you need is a wide angle lens and then you can just crop endlessly into the image.
And which Fuji gear would you like to rent?
Back in May, Viltrox issued a statement that their X Mount AF lenses can damage the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and FujiRumors later on reported about a free return service Viltrox offered.
Now they are redesigning those lenses, so that they won’t damage your X-Pro3 anymore (see damage in this post).
Just a few days, Viltrox has also released a MK II version of the 85mm f/1.8. Now the updated Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 AF has been released too.

Fujifilm has just announced that the brand new Fujinon GF30mm F3.5 will start shipping on July 22.
BHphoto & Co have therefore updated their pages, and mark it as available on July 23.
It’s curious, that Fujifilm does not seem to push this lens all too much. In fact, they seem to have more quiet approach when promoting this lens. A pity, from all I could see, it is a fantastic lens. And it’s 16mm APS-C equivalent, which is a very popular focal length.
The Fuji Guys posted an unboxing and a few samples, but they could have showed a bit more love for this lens, by giving it a proper full overview. Anyway, here is what they say:
There is also not much independent reviews. Here is some:
And some Promo material:
The 16mm focal length is one of the best sellers in the APS-C world. Let’s see if the GF30mm can duplicate that success.
