Photographyblog has published a bunch of hands on photos of the XF33mmF1.0, XF16-80mmF4. and XF16mmF2.8. You can check the out here and a selection down below.
FujiRumors has shared 2 days ago an image of all these three lenses side by side. The XF33mmF1.0 has pretty much the size of the XF16-55mmF2.8.
Yesterday we reported about the Viltrox 85mm F1.8 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount.
I was intrigued by this lens, and so I went to visit Viltrox booth today at Photokina.
They told me:
More info has been sent to me by a FR-reader
They had a Fujifilm X-H1 with the Viltrox 85mm F1.8 attached to it, so I quickly played around with it.
Keep in mind that this is pre-production, and there will be autofocus improvements and bug fixes before the release. For example, I noticed that when shooting at F1.8, sometimes in playback when checking the image, the aperture showed a wrong value. Viltrox told me they are fine tuning the firmware to sort it out.
With that said, I made a quick auotofocus video test, using the Fujifilm X-H1 with Viltrox 85mm F1.8. You can see it here on my youtube channel.
Down below you can see also some image samples, mostly JEPGs and some RAWs to download.

My photokina 2018 coverage continues, and after having delivered you…
… it is now time to take a closer look at the Venus Optics Laowa 17mm F4 Zero-D for Fujifilm GFX.
I have talked to Venus Optics, and they said the lens will be available in December. They didn’t tell me the price, though.
I have made also a Laowa 17mm F4 hands on video on my youtube channel.
Down below the specs shared so far and one more image.
One thing I liked form the Fujifilm GFX 50R and GFX 100 live stream announcement, is that Fujifilm asked what full frame means.
“Full” indicates that some kind of limit is reached. So what is the Fujifilm GFX system? Well, then Fuji calls it a “super full frame” ;)
And just for fun I will tell you this: in German we often refer to “full frame” as “Kleinbild“, which means “small frame“, because it’s smaller than… guess what?… you got it, medium format!
So what now, is full frame actually a small frame?
In order to end the confusion, I will tell you this: every system is “full frame”. Fuji’s APS-C system is conceived and designed for APS-C, and so is their MF system. M43 is build around the M43 sensor and so forth.
Whatever you hold in your hands right now, from an iPhone to Phase One, it’s “full frame”.
Viltrox has launched the Viltrox 85mm F1.8 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X for Fujifilm X mount.
