Cactus Fujifilm Support

Cactus announced that a Beta Firmware for Fujifilm X-T2 support is almost ready. They are looking for Beta Testers. Here is what they said in their forum.

Hey everyone, a quick update…

In the next couple of days, we will soon have a beta firmware for you to test on the X-T2.

If you are interested in testing it with us, please send an email to info@cactus-image.com with subject line “X-T2” and we will send you the Updater with embedded X-T2 beta firmware.

I would greatly appreciate if you can share your findngs here on the fourm (under this post) so we can see if others experience the same kind of bugs and issues.

For those who needs to use the V6 II for commercial work, please wait a little bit more as the beta version is likely not ready.

Thank you in advance to those who are participating.

Fujifilm Will Release a Dark Grey Fujifilm X-Pro2 – Trusted Source

Graphite X-Pro2 Mock-up by FR-reader Everaldo

Dark Grey X-Pro2

According to a trusted source, Fujifilm has a dark grey Fujifilm X-Pro2 in the pipeline. In the Fuji world everything can change quickly, but for now the release is set to 2017.

I’m not sure for now, if it will have the same color of the graphite X-T1 or be even darker. For sure it won’t the the bright silver we know from the X-E2 or X-T10.

Just like the X100 black limited edition and the graphite X-T1, also the dark grey Fujifilm X-Pro2 should be more expensive than the regular black one.

The Interchangeable Viewfinder

I’ve heard this first from an anonymous source a couple of days ago (thanks), and I can now confirm it also via trusted source (thanks again): the Medium Format Fujifilm will have an interchangeable viewfinder!

So what’s that? It sounds like the intercheangable viewfinder we find on the PhaseOne XF, where you can attach a waist level viewfinder (verical tilting) or a standard viewfinder. Of course the PhaseOne solution is for Optical Viewfinders… now you just imagine the same with EVF’s.

See the PhaseOne XF Video below to get a more clear idea.

Fujifilm & Flash… a long (and often painful) story. However, over the last years, we have seen some improvements, and some companies, like Nissin, started to support Fujifilm X-series cameras.

But it’s when you think that things go better, that Fuji is able to make it worst again ;)

In fact, with the launch of the X-T2, Fujifilm also introduced changes in the flash protocol to support the EF-X500 flash system. New protocol… and hence flashes that work on the X-T1 are now no more supported on the X-T2.

The good news is: everything can (hopefully) be fixed with Firmware updates.

So here is a Recap:
