Fujifilm X-T2 Roundup: “An Absolute Monster. Astonishing JPEG’s. It Can Match the Big FF Boys” + Charity Auction

James shared his comparison Fuji X-T2 vs Nikon D750 at James A Photography Youtube.

Autofocus on X-T2 is fantastic, outstanding IQ, the JPEG’s are great and “you hardly have to touch them. They are perfect, the colors, the contrast, the sharpness“, and even better ISO (smoother and cleaner of 12,000 ISO for the X-T2). At the end of the day he just “can’t believe that this little thing [X-T2] does what it does. It absolutely competes with the Full Frame Nikon D750.”

And here are some more X-T2 links:

CHARITY AUCTION

40 Italian photographers (including X-photographers like Max Angeloni and Luca Bracali) organized an auction for December 15 at the city of l’Aquila, to support some friends, who lost everything in the recent series of earthquakes. If you are in the area, you can go there to see the exhibition and eventually also join the acution.

The exhibition starts December 15 (and the auction will take place in the evening of December 15).

XF35mmF2: A Winner for Fujifilm, a No Brainer for X-Shooters: You Can Get it Now for just $299 (until December 24)

The Fujinon XF35mmF2 WR is a winner for Fujifilm… and now it’s also no brainer for X-shooters (at least those located in USA).

In fact, with the current deals, you can get it for just $299… and it seems that many are purchasing it, since it shot up again to the very top of the BHphoto Mirrorless System Lenses Bestseller Ranking.

Since its launch, the XF35mmF2 WR sold like hot cakes. The success was that big, that Fujifilm even changed their internal lens roadmap, putting on ice plans for long rumored lenses like the 8-16mmF2.8, 33mmF1 and 200mm and focussing stronger on releasing a few more compact, weather resistant F2 lenses first… like the 23mmF2 and 50mmF2. But I don’t know, if any other of these little F2 guys will ever match the success of the XF35mmF2 WR, which by the way gets one awesome review after another.

In USA you can find a lot more X-gear in offer, like an overall $300 saving on the X-Pro2 (if purchased at Adorama). Just check out the full list of savings below… you have 2 more weeks to decide if to grab your gear or not.

Travel Photography – Fujifilm X-Pro 2 vs. Canon 5D Mark III

guest post by Andy Gawlowski – worldwidewax.ch – facebook – instagram

Travel photography demands high technical performances of a camera. A suitable camera should be able to reliably deal with constantly changing lighting conditions (dynamic range, ISO-performance, white balance) and react as fast as possible to spontaneous moments and movements (autofocus), just to mention the most important requirements. Among the “must have” of such an all-rounder camera are anyway colour-balanced and sharp photos.

Since the market launch back in 2012, I have been shooting with the Canon 5D Mark III and numerous prime lenses from Canon. The 5D delivers excellent picture quality, is fast-paced, and has a very good ISO performance for most situations. It comes quite close to such all-rounder. However, throughout the past four years I often met and exceeded the limitations of the 5D, which drove me crazy at times and brought me somewhat to the point of despair. These weaknesses include in particular its size, its crazy high weight (12kg in total with all lenses) and its poor dynamic range.

For my trip through Morocco in October, I got the opportunity to photograph with the Fujifilm X-Pro 2 to test the camera thoroughly. I have been wanting to try a mirrorless-system for a long time. Nonetheless, a full frame mirrorless camera would be no option for me. Full-frame mirrorless offers zero advantages compared to full-frame DSLRs in lens size and weight (only the 70-200f.2.8 weights 1,5kg!). So if you have a bag full of gear, the only area where you can save space and weight is the camera body alone which isn’t a big benefit. Initially I was very sceptical towards the idea of changing from a full frame to a supposedly weaker APS-C system. Given my high expectations regarding picture quality, I could hardly imagine that an APS-C camera could nearly keep up with a full frame camera.

My resume after travelling for two weeks with the X-Pro2? I’m just about to sell my entire Canon gear and switch to Fujifilm. Here are the reasons.

Fujifilm X100F – Tilt Screen or Not?

One of the question I get very often, is if the Fujifilm X100F will have a tilt screen or not. Well, I had a talk with a trusted source, who told me that the Fujifilm will NOT have a tilt screen.

Dear X-folks, we are now entering a very hot rumor time, so, for Real-Time Live Notification make sure to follow FujiRumors also via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

And feel free to join the Fujifilm X100F facebook group.

Now share the word… and don’t forget to say where you read this rumor… I know it’s hard, but I believe in you… you can make it ;)

And as a reminder, here is again the Poll I’ve launched back in March, where I asked if you guys want a Tilt Screen or not on the X100T Successor.

Interesting for X-shooters: In Capture One Pro 10 auto masking was updated to support any editable file type, including X-Trans.

Still missing: support for lossless compressed X-T2 and X-Pro2 RAF files.

CaptureOneBlog created a new set of film styles (including styles like “Fujifilm Velvia”), but these are not specifically designed to match Fujifilm’s own in camera film simulations.
