Kai Wong Fujifilm GFX 50S Review

Kai Wong tested the Fujiiflm GFX 50S.

  • lightweight
  • viewfinder is massive
  • he loves the way the GFX operates
  • film simulations are pretty damn good
  • focus speed is right, a lot faster than show models back at Photokina
  • focus in low light is not so consistent and quick, though
  • noise is low, at ISO 12,800 you get usable files, but noise is visible
  • maybe a bit too niche
  • fantastic landscape camera

You can see the video here…. and don’t forget to…

Fringer Firmware Update

FRINGER Press Release: “V2.3 firmware is avaliable now. It disables in-camera lens correction which let to severe distortion when connecting Contax 645 lenses to GFX50s using Fringer smart adapter. Please download the firmware v2.3 and upgrade your adapter according to the steps in user manual (section 6). […] 

As you know, Fujifilm lenses largely depend on software corrections. Whatever the file format you use, i.e. JPG or RAW, you cannot switch it off. Even in the view finder you can only see the after-correction results. Since currently all the smart adapters in the market are impersonating a G mount lens, the in camera lens correction severely disturbed the adapted lenses’ output.

Now, we totally solved the problem and integrated the solution in the firmware ver2.3. After upgrading your adapter, the Fujifilm’s lens correction would be disabled in the view finder and the JPG or RAW files the camera produces.

Fujifilm GFX and X Series Deals – Save Up to $1,550 with Secret Deal at BHphoto

 

The Fujinon XF16mmF1.4 is now $100 off and currently the best selling XF lens at BHphoto

The future of the Deals

The Fujifilm GFX deals are very good, especially the secret GFX deal on BHphoto, where you can save up to $1,550 (instead of “just” $1,000 as officially listed by Fujifilm and other stores).

But why isn’t Fujifilm offering the same huge deal also on the X-system?

Well, we better get used to it. Only a few years ago, hardly anyone owned Fujifilm X, and Fujifilm had to offer terrific deals to “convince” people to buy into the X system. But now, that Fuji X has become popular, there is simply no real need to launch such agressive deals anymore.

Hence, deals on X-system have become more rare, and when they come, like now, they will be less amazing than in the past.

And yet… you can still save up to $200 on X-gear…

… which is still better than a punch in the face ;)

Fujifilm X80 Postponed to 2018

Fujifilm X80

Back in February 2017, I told you that the Fujifilm X70 will be replaced by the X80 within the end of 2017.

But I have an update for you today…. Fujifilm decided to postpone the launch of the Fujifilm X80 to 2018.

I don’t have any details, and now I’m merely speculating, but to me it looks like Fujifilm is preparing one of their mega-announcements in 2018, with multiple gear to be announced all at the same time.

Fujifilm has also an announcement on October 25, but it should be minor and mainly about Instax.
