Fujifilm X-T4 Extended Spectrum Infrared Camera

Share

Wait, a Fujifilm X-T4 infrared camera?

If that sounds new to you, here is recap:

Well, now the Fujifilm X-T4 IR Extended Spectrum is back at BHphoto, this time even more affordable than at its original listing (now $1,899 instead of $2,199).

I find dedicated IR version a great way to give “older” cameras a new life.

I just wish they were made available for the large public, since as of now sales restrictions apply that you can read at the dedicated BHphoto page (click “CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT”). Included in the list of people who can purchase it are “professional artists” and “professional qualified Buyers and videographers that intend to use the purchased Infrared and Extended Spectrum Products for the creation of fine art.”

Latest and Greatest vs. Oldie but Goldie: this Fujifilm Roundup Has it All

Share

Mixed Zone

I guess it is a bit normal that we are drawn to the latest and greatest, the newest and most shiny stuff.

But truth is: there is PLENTY of wonderful gear out there that has its age, but still delivers wonderfully.

And look guys, I know what I talk about, because I did just photograph a family day trip on the mountains with my X-E3 today ;).

So I thought about making a roundup of a different kind: include all the latest and greatest stuff (the 5th generation cameras and the newest lenses), but also the older gear we hardly ever talk about now (4th gen. cameras or older and older lenses).

I hope there will be something among it that you’ll appreciate as much as I did.

Tamron Patents Big Zoom Lenses

Share

The following patents for Tamron big zoom lenses have been spotted by asobinet:

  • Tamron 400-1000mm f/10-11.5
  • Tamron 250-700mm f/6.5-13

Asobinet does not specify if these are designed for FF or APS-C (but likely for FF).

The approach is similar to the one of Canon with the Canon RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM: keep costs and size contained thanks to a slower aperture.

As far as long telephoto zooms goes, we Fujifilm shooters are currently covered by the Fujinon XF 150-600mm f/5.6-8 R LM.

Last but not least: if you look at Tamron lenses specifically designed for APS-C, then these are the current patents:

Down below the full details.
