Kamlan 28mm f/1.4

Sainsonic just launched the the Kamlan 28mm f/1.4 Standard Mirrorless Prime Lens for Fujifilm X on Kickstarter.

Currently Sainsonic has the following lenses for Fujifilm X mount to offer:

• Kamlan 50mm f/1.1
• Zonlai 22mm F1.8

However, on Kickstarter they revealed also the lens roadmap for 2018, which includes a Kamlan 50mm F1.1 Mark II.

The Kickstarter page for the Kamlan 28mm f/1.4 is very detailed and includes studio lab tests, videos, hands on reviews, comparisons and lots of samples. Make sure to check it out all at Kickstarter here.

Here on FR I will only share a few samples, the main specs and the roadmap.

It’s great to see more and more Chinese companies offering extremely affordable Fuji X mount lenses (such as Mitakon and Laowa), especially since they are definitely stepping up in term of image quality compared to the past.

Many Fujifilm X and GFX shooters earn their bread and butter with Fujifilm cameras, and many of those are also extremely successful in their specific genre.

For example, there are Fujifilm shooters, who won prestigeous awards, such as…

• some won the world wildlife photography award (story here)
• some made the cover of the TIME magazine (story here)
• some won the World Photography Arts&Culture Award 2015 (story here)
• some won the First Prize of the World Press Photo Category “Stories (stroy here)
• some made the front page of the Wall Street Journal (story here)
• Fuji X was good enough for God’s work (story here)
• some captured America’s most hated man (story here)
• some distracted a French presidential candidate during his interview (story here)
• and more…

You also probably know Kevin Mullins, one of the top wedding photographers globally speaking, who shoots exclusively with Fujifilm X series camera.

The list could go on and on (and I apologize for all those I didn’t mention here), but today it’s about Markus Klinko, a photographer, who saw his work displayed at Times Square in New York, who photographed top celebrities like Beyoncé (btw, Beyoncé shoots Fujifilm X100s, as you can see her here) and David Bowie.

Markus is also a good friend of FujiRumors, and he has also contributed with several articles on Fujirumors.com.

Today we have the pleasure to dedicate our “Behind the X gear” episode to our friend Markus Klinko. Enjoy :)
