Fringer has just uploaded a video showing the autofocus tracking performance of a prototype Nikon F to Fujifilm X Smart Adapter.

The results:

  • 90 images taken in 9 seconds (10fps)
  • 77% of images sharp (69 out of 90)

Buy Fujifilm X-T4 and Get Vertical Battery Grip for Free – Save $329

Yesterday we reported about the latest Fujifilm X Winter Deals.

One of the deals was a $200 discount on Fujifilm X-T4 with Vertical Battery Grip.

Well, that’s indeed the official discount as listed at BHphoto here and also by Fujifilm on their website.

However, some FR-readers made me notice (thanks), that at BHphoto you actually can get the entire X-T4 vertical grip for free (worth $329).

Here is what you have to do:

Go the X-T4 body only page at BHphoto, then add the X-T4 to the cart, and once done that, you’ll see in your cart a free battery grip added.

That’s evidently an error at BHphoto, but if you grab one now, you can always hope they’ll honor it.

Fujifilm Digital Camera Range: Making Sense of the Line-Up, What Should be Dropped, What Should Stay… and Where is the X-H Line?

Fujifilm shared this Pyramid explaining their Current Camera Line-up
Fujifilm shared this Pyramid explaining their Current Camera Line-up

I already said it in my X-S10, Attack on Sony article: the Fujifilm X-S10 makes a whole lot of sense.

And yet, I do understand one of the critiques made to Fujifilm: their line-up is huge and potentially confusing.

There are indeed some lines, that in some occasions do not not differentiated themselves enough from each other.

But this is an issue Fujifilm realized and I feel that they are taking care of it, for example:

  • the Fujifilm X-Pro3 is a unique machine, with a concept, so far nowhere to find
  • Fujifilm is aware that the the Fujifilm X-H2 must differentiate stronger from the X-T* line in order to continue to evolve separately

Fujifilm understands the problem and is finding ways to separate the lines better.

And yet… there are some lines that should be dropped, in my opinion.

Let’s take a look it at, by using an official Fujifilm media sheet that has been sent to me, which shows a pyramid with all Fujifilm X series cameras listed and ordered by Fujifilm itself.

Oh, Look! Blockbuster MONSTER HUNTER Poster Image Snapped with Fujifilm X Series Gear… Although it’s Not Full Frame ;)

Evidently some still don’t get it that APS-C is not for Pros, and this is why we continue to see this:

And now we can add another one to the bunch.

The upcoming Hollywood blockbuster “Monster Hunter” poster image has been taken on a Fujifilm X-T2 (with XF50-140mmF2.8 lens) by fellow Fujifilm X shooter Coco Van Oppens (IG: Cocostills  – IG: monsterhuntermovie)

Coco has shared this information here at our massive X-T group.

I will share the trailer of the movie below, as well as a 1 hour interview with Coco (I’ll let it start at minute 47:08 for you, which is when she talks about the gear she uses. But make sure to watch it all as soon as you have time).

Here is some of the gear she uses:

  • Fujifilm X-T2 / X-T3
  • Fujifilm X-H1
  • XF 16-55mmF2.8
  • XF 50-140mmF2.8

She is looking at the Fujifilm X-T4 as well.

Why does she like Fuji? A lot of reasons:

  • the dials – she does not need to go through the menu
  • electronic shutter
  • fast autofocus
  • out of camera quality

SIZE COMPARISON: Fujinon XF18mmF1.4 vs XF16mmF1.4 vs XF23mmF1.4

Just as we rumored, Fujifilm included the Fujinon XF18mmF1.4 on the official new X mount roadmap.

I took the technical sketch of the upcoming XF18mmF1.4 that Fujifilm showed us at the recent Fujifilm X summit and used it to compare its size to its closest internal f/1.4 competitors, the Fujinon XF16mm f/1.4 and the XF23mm f/1.4.

The result can be seen above.

Based on what Fujifilm provided us, we can say that the size will be basically identical to the one of the Fujinon XF16mm f/1.4.

If you want to see the size comparison between the Fujinon XF70-300mmF4-5.6 and other Fujinon lenses, check out this article.
