Venus Optics Laowa 17mmF4 for Fujifilm GFX Images and Hands On Video and Available in December

Laowa 17mm F4

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.

SUPER FULL FRAME Fujifilm GFX 50R First Look and GF 50mmF3.5, 100-200mm F5.6, 45-100mm F4 Images

SUPER FULL FRAME

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”.

XQ1 first impressions at DPreview: “exceptionally fast autofocus”.

PRE-ORDERS

by purchasing your camera using the link below, you’ll support Fujirumors. You won’t pay a single penny more for your camera, but a small commision goes to FR. It’s big help for the site and keeps it ticking over.

X-E2 – USA: AmazonUS / BHphoto / Adorama / DigitalRev / Pictureline / EUROPE: wexphotographicUK / DigitalRev / Fotomundus24 GER

XQ1 – USA: AmazonUS / BHphoto / Adorama / DigitalRev / EUROPE: wexphotographicUK / DigitalRev

Our X-pert Rico will get his production XQ1 soon (and write a first look about it. In the meantime see his XQ1 Flickr set here). If you’ve checked out his X-E2 first look here then you’ll know that it will be worth to read it… in his X-E2 first look Rico called the XQ1 “an X20 on steroids“. Looking forward to his review in the next days! So stay tuned via google+, facebook and twitter.

In the meantime it’s well worth to read also the XQ1 first impressions at DPreview here:

“The XQ1, therefore, takes the larger-than-usual 2/3″ sensor that we found offered very good image quality in the Fujifilm X20, and places it in a genuinely pocketable body. That X-Trans CMOS II sensor also enables exceptionally fast autofocus – even the pre-production XQ1 we used for this article has to count as one of the quickest compacts we’ve seen. For fans of manual focus, the XQ1 also offers a ‘Peaking’ display to help get the sharpest results.”

cheers

Maximilian was so kind to create a “quick and dirty size comparison” between the X-M1 and X-E1 and I’m glad to share it with you all. Thanks a lot!
