Fujifilm GFX 50S 2.3 Gigapixel Image :: GF Lens Reviews & Much More (GFX Roundup)

Fujifilm GFX

This will be a rather huge Fujifilm GFX 50S (and lenses) roundup… so let’s start.

Drew wrote me: “I was commissioned by the Daily Telegraph to shoot this Gigapixel image of Trooping the colour to celebrate the queens birthday. I thought It might be of interest. It was was shot on the Fujifilm GFX 50S with the 250mm lens. It is a truly amazing combination – perfectly suited to gigapixel imagery”. You can see the 2.3 gigapixel image made up of more than 100 50MP files at www.telegraph.co.uk

Fuji Guys Compare X100F and X-E3, Which One Should You Buy? :: Hack a Wide Angle Converter :: LeicaQ Vs. Fuji X-E3 & More

Fuji Guys X100F Vs. X-E3

The Fuji Guys just published their Fujifilm X-E3 Vs. X100F comparison, and try to give an answer to the question which one suits you better.

I personally struggled with the same question, and at the end decided to go for the X-E3, because I own plenty of Fujinon lenses already, and because the X-E3 had bluetooth (I like to geo-tag my images in travels).

I do not care much about the touch screen, and use it only for the 4 swipe FN functions.

But of course the X100F has its strenghts too, such as the hybrid viewfinder and a feature strangely not mentioned by the Fuji Guys, but that I’d love to have on my X-E3: the combined ISO/Shutter dial.

Other than that, the X100F shines due to the leaf shutter and due to… let’s say… it’s philosophy: carry less (fixed lens), keep it simple, do not stress, go out and shoot.

The final conclusions are made while eating the Fujifilm Film Simulation Noodles, which we reported already 2 weeks ago about.

But not only Fuji Guys… here is more about the X100F and the X-E3

FUJIFILM USA Currently has No Plans to Sell Brown X-E3 and X100F. Fujifilm X-T100 Brown Color in Asia

Fujifilm Camera Colors

Back in February, we told you that Fujifilm had plans to launch a brown X100F. And indeed, starting from May, the brown Fujifilm X100F started to appear at stores all over the world.

Then, in June, here on FR we also broke the news about the brown Fujifilm X-E3, which today is available in many markets.

Everybody was expecting these two color configurations to sell soon also in USA, especially since they are available in Canada already, but it seems we were wrong.

According to our sources, Fujifilm USA has currently no plans to sell the brown Fujifilm X100F and brown Fujifilm X-E3 in USA.

If those colors will turn out to be very popular, then Fujifilm USA might decide to introduce them to the US market, too. But at this point, Fujifilm USA is not interested.

Fujifilm X-T100 Colors

Wow, I got some very excited emails this morning, telling me that also the Fujifilm X-T100 is now available in dark silver.

But guys, the dark silver X-T100 is available since May 24, 2018, the day the Fujifilm X-T100 was launched. :)

If you missed this and other X-T100 information, you better check back our X-T100 live blogging.

What you can find, though, is the brown X-T100 here, as spotted and shared with us by FR-reader imagei here. The brown X-T100 is only available in Asia, and it remains to see if it will be sold also in Europe and North America.

Overall Asia seems very color friendly, when it comes to offer Fuji cameras in different vests. We reported yesterday that there is a graphite X-A5 in Asia, and it is available in Europe too.

FUJIFILM Launches FILM SIMULATION Instant Noodles, Their Plan B in Case the X and GFX Series Fails!

Fujifilm Noodles – The Future

Fujifilm is known to be a very creative company, always open to new markets and ideas.

For example, they used the materials of their dying film rolls business to produce cosmetics (see also “how Fujifilm survived the digital age“).

A flexible company like Fujifilm coudn’t miss the digital camera train, and they released the amazing X and GFX series cameras and lenses.

But what if all this fails?

Well, Fujifilm has a fantastic Plan B: Feed the World!

In fact, Fujifilm Korea just launched the Fujifilm Film Simulation Instant Noodles.

Not kidding guys.

Check out the official Fujifilm Korea page here, as well as their facebook page here.

Noodles: a market that can’t be eaten up by smartphones, so definitely more future proof than digital cameras ;) .

Some FR-readers are already beta tasting the noodles now, and share their feedback at our facebook page here. Also Roy Cruz has already his Fujifilm Noodles First Look at his youtube channel here.

I remind you that Fujifilm technology is already making beer tastier, as we reported here.

Oh… and make sure follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter to get more of these fantastic news.

… have a fantastic Sunday,

Nikon F Mount to Fujifilm GFX Smart AF Adapter Almost Here and Steelsring Smart Adapters EF/FX and EF/GFX Firmware 2.02/2.04

Nikon F to Fujifilm X Smart Adapter

Steelsring is about to release their Nikon F to Fujifilm GFX mount smart adapter. You can see the latest protoype in the image above. On their website here, they write:

Main features:

  1. Support Nikon AF-S G and E type lens, and AF-P G type lens contrast based AF in GFX 50s body.
  2. Electromagnetic diaphragm of type E Lens can be controlled by GFX 50s body, allows AF in full open ( decided by camera body ) and step down for exposure.
  3. Diaphragm of G type lens was manually controlled by aperture ring of adapter in real-time, so AF is conducted in real effective aperture as exposure. AF performance may be bad in low light/contrast, benefits are 1) Real aperture priority, 2) and totally no noise of consistent IRIS moving.
  4. Full EXIF info recording. ( For G type lens, only the current max open aperture was displayed and recorded, no way to adjust it ).
  5. Lens VR was support and effective on demand.

FX mount version adapter is in design phase, maybe with better performance of PDAF and auto aperture control version for your choice.

Note:

Support to AF-D type lens will be very limited, EXIF may works, but no AF absolutely.

Firmware Updates

Steelsring has a new firmware for the EF-FX and EF-GFX adapters.

For both EF/FX and EF/GFX, followings were updated:

Fujifilm Manager Interview

The Thai youtube channel กล้องกล้วยกล้วย had a talk with Fujifilm manager Mr.Udono. It’s a 40 minutes talk in Thai and English, so you have to listen to the Thai question, than the English translation of the question, then the English answer of the manager, and then again the Thai translation of the Manager’s answer.

Too cumbersome?

Well, then you are lucky to read FujiRumors… because since we love you guys, we decided you should not suffer and waste your precious time. So I listened it all for you and here are the managers’ answers in English.

You are welcome :).
