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.

Fringer EX-FX (Pro) II Smart Autofocus Adapter Firmware 1.90 Released

Fringer has released firmware 1.80 for the Fringer EF-FX Pro II and Fringer EF-FX II smart autofocus adapters.

Fringer EX-FX (Pro) II – Version 1.90

  1. Added following lenses to the tested and optimized lens list:
    – EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM
    – EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM + 1.4X
    – EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM + 2X
    – EF 70-210/3.5-4.5 USM
  2. Fixed PDAF issues for some lens of the following models: Lens didn’t get recognized by the adapter due to different lens firmware version.
    – Sigma 24-105/4 ART
  3. Fixed a compatibility issue with X-T3 firmware 4.0: under certain circumstances, contrast AF may fail. This issue may also affect other cameras like X-T4 and X-S10.
  4. Fixed camera freeze issue on cameras equipped with X-Trans IV CMOS. When
    – In bright environment,
    – Adapting telephoto, ultra-fast or macro lenses,
    – Aperture is NOT wide open,
    – Subject is far away from current focus point and is so blur that phase detection doesn’t work,

Auto focus may fail. Sometimes, especially when using AF-ON button or touch screen to AF, it may freeze the camera. Even the power switch doesn’t work. This problem has been fixed. Affected cameras include X-T3 (firmware 2.0 or later), X-T30, X-T4, X-Pro3, X-S10.

As the bug fixes are important, upgrading is highly suggested.

Please visit the Fringer website here to download the new firmware and its release notes. Follow the instructions in the release notes to upgrade your adapter.

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.

Fujifilm X-S10: Attack on SONY (& Co), Why it is NOT an X-T40/X-H10 and VOTE NOW if You Like it or Not

The Vintage Departure

The debate initially fired up when I accurately described you the Fujifilm X-S10, and was then fueled up again when the X-S10 images leaked.

In short: that ain’t’ really that retro-feel we all fell in love with, right?

Indeed, if you are one of those, who grabbed a Fujifilm because of its vintage manual control layout, with dedicated ISO, shutter and exposure compensation dial, then the X-S10 ain’t for you.

But I really believe Fujifilm needed this camera, and it’s a brilliant move that they made it exactly like this.

Fujifilm X-S10 IBIS Unit Significantly Smaller than X-T4 IBIS Unit

Some guys out there think that the Fujifilm X-S10 will have the same IBIS of the Fujifilm X-T4.

I contacted my sources about it, and this is the answer I’ve just received:

The IBIS unit on the X-S10 is NOT the same we find on the X-T4. It is actually significantly smaller than the one we find on the X-T4. As a matter of fact, it’s Fuji’s smallest IBIS unit ever made (ok, if we don’t count this one ;) )

Remember, shrinking IBIS is one of the top priorities identified by top Fujifilm manager Toshihisa Iida (who now left the imaging division) in a recent interview. And they seem to proceed very well with this.

Fuji really went a long way from that day back in 2016 when they said IBIS is not compatible with Fujifilm X mount to 2020, when they are able to squeeze a 5axis 6 stops IBIS in a camera as small as the Fujifilm X-S10.
