Why Fujifilm Retro Dials are Superior to PSAM Dials

There is this notion that cameras with a PSAM dial are faster to operate than cameras with dedicated retro dials, which slow you down.

And you know what? I get your point!

Imagine you are at a wedding, lots of things happening, tons of pictures to take, your eye glued on the viewfinder capturing all the precious moments.

And having photographed a wedding myself, I can say that conditions change all the time: indoors and outdoor, fast moving and static subjects, group shots and portraits, natural light and artificial light, low light and bright daylight…

In short: whoever is a wedding photographer out there, must be a very skilled allrounder and constantly master all possible photographic conditions.

And from this point of view, being able to quickly adjust all your settings by just turning the front and rear command dial while keeping your eye glued on the viewfinder can be extremely convenient.

So case closed, right? PSAM is for Pros, and Retro is for less demanding photography.

Well, not really.

So What, Did FujiRumors Fall in Love with Fully Articulating Screens? Would a Fujifilm X-T5 with Selfie Screen be a Dealbreaker for You? POLL

3 Times I Loved the Selfie Screen

I lately shared a couple of posts on my Instagram page, showing images of myself making good use of the Selfie Screen on my Fujifilm X-T4.

So what, did I join the “dark side” and fell in love with fully articulating screens as some have suggested?

Well, not really.

The whole point of these posts was just to show that, in rare cases, a fully articulating screen really simplifies the composition of an image.

So here are 3 times I loved the fully articulating screen on my X-T4 as it allowed me to take a picture that would have been much more complicated and cumbersome to take with any other screen.

New Images of Fujinon GF30mm f/5.6 Tilt Shift and GF110mm f/5.6 Tilt Shift Macro

At the very end of the last Fujifilm X Summit, there was that “one more thing” moment, and this time Fujifilm decided to show us mockups of the Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 Tilt shift lens and Fujinon GF110mmF5.6 Tilt Shift Macro lens.

We reported about it here already.

One might remember that already back in September 2021 Fujifilm showed us the mock up of one of those lenses, but at that time it was still an f/4 lens, the Fujinon GF30mmF4 tilt shift.

That mockup showed a was rather hefty lens, so I guess that in order to save size and weight (and to make it more affordable), Fujinon redesigned it to be an f/5.6 lens.

A good decision in my eyes, as the new hands on images that now appeared (see them below) over at digitalcameraworld, show a definitely smaller lens.

The Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 T/S lens will appeal particularly to architecture and inferior design photographers whereas the GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro to food and product photographers.

A Tale of a Hiking Fuller than Full Frame, a Sony Shooter Lusting after Fujifilm Colors and a Rumor Storm to Come

I Was Gone… Fuller than Full Frame!

This summer my Fujifilm APS-C X gear dominated and found its way in my camera bag most of the time.

May it be my X-T4 used during my holidays on the Elba island in Tuscany with my wife and son, or my top-combo X-E3 with XF27mm2.8 R WR used in many of my short 1 day family friendly mountain hikes.

But not this time!

In fact, I just came back from an extensive multi-day mountain hike in the Dolomites, and this is what I packed:

So how did it go?

Well, the reason I mostly instinctively grab my X series gear is because, in addition to offering a great image quality, compared to my GFX gear it is simply lighter and more compact, plus there are some lenses I truly love in that system, like the XF35mmF1.4 R (which never stops to stun me), the Fujifilm X-E3 with XF27mmF2.8MKII (my go to combo to document my everyday family life) and the XF18-135mmF3.5-5-6.

But the lightness and sheer perfect balance of the APS-C X system made me forget one thing: how portable and flexible actually also Fujifilm’s medium format system is!

As you can see, this is how I hiked for several hours a day: a medium format camera and lens on my hip, the tripod most of the time in my camera bag as IBIS took care to compensate for my tired and shaking hands… and in my heart the certainty that no matter how tricky the light will be, no matter how challenging the conditions, no camera will be able to handle it better than my Fujifilm GFX100S does (unless you use one of those monstrous digital MF cameras, but good luck hiking with those… if you can afford it!)

So we can only be grateful to Fujifilm for making medium format so accessible in terms of size and price.

Which WOW Products Would You Like from Fujifilm?

A Japanese Fujifilm manager recently said that they are working on developing “WOW” products.

So I’d like to hear from you guys what would make you say “WOW”. I’ll start the list with three products that I have the feeling would make quite some of you happy.

Feel free to extend the list in the comments.

RUMOR: Fujinon GF20-35mmF4 Announcement on September 8

The Fujifilm X Summit on September 8th at 2PM New York time will have one huge protagonist: the Fujifilm X-H2.

But it won’t be an X-H2 event only, nor an exclusive X series event.

Nope, also Fujifilm GFX shooters will have something to look forward to.

In fact, according to our trusted sources, Fujifilm will announce the Fujinon GF20-35mmF4 on September 8, too.

As an owner of the incredible Fujinon GF32-64mmF4 myself, having a zoom that starts more or less where my current lens ends and goes all the way down to 20mm (15.8mm FF equiv.) making it the widest GF lens available, is something that is really tempting to add to my G mount lens arsenal.

Because even if I currently can’t go beyond 64mm with my GF32-64, thanks to the 100 megapixel on my Fujifilm GFX100S I can crop the heck out of my files and get closer while retaining sharp and crisp images. But I can’t capture things that are outside what my lens can see, so a wider option could definitely come in handy for my landscape photography.

You see… my GAS is already triggered. ;)

New Fujifilm Patents: Fujinon GF 20-30mmF4, GF 24-50mmF3.5-5.6 and 50-380mmF3.3, 35-280mmF3.3 (Cine Lenses?)

I was debating with myself if I should stop to report about patents at all.

Why?

Because in 10 years of blogging I have shared hundreds of patents on FR, and none has ever seen the light of the day. What I have seen once or twice, is a patent surface only after the real lens had been already announced (making the patent “leak” useless)

The problem?

I notice that when I report about patents, people think this means the patented item will surely come, it’s just a matter of time.

And that’s a problem, because:

So I don’t want to create false hopes by sharing patents, as those are concepts written on paper, and they remain such in 99% of the cases.

On the other hand, this is a rumor site. Those patents exist, even if the products in those patents will never see the light of the day.

So I decided that I will report about patents, but I will put my disclaimers hoping people will read more than just the mere headline.

And today we talk about a couple of GF and probably Cine lens patents surfaced on the web and brought to us thanks to the Japanese website Asobinet here and here.

So let’s look at them one by one below.
