Fuji seems to have found the right idea to make the hybrid viewfinder compatible with ANY lenses! Egami (Click here) spotted a new patent describing the solution. The Electronic viewfinder will detect the focal length of the attached third party lens and optimize the optical viewfinder to it. More or less this is the idea behind it :)

Good Morning!
I hope you are all doing fine! I have a full list of Fuji new to share with you. Here it is:

The french blog Photo Fusina (Click here) received that special X PRO 1 package from Fuji (cat not included says the author). The wood case included:
– The three lenses (18mm/f2, and a 35mm/f1.4 60mm/f2.4 with their respective Lens Hoods.
– Leather case with X PRO 1 camera included
– An UV filter,
– The grip,
– Lens cleaning set
– Various small accessories such as case for the UV Filter, CD, battery, …
– Fujifilm SD card 64GB

The author says that Fuji told him that he is now part of the “Fujifilm Pro membership“. This is a new initiative from Fuji and they will soon launch a new website for the “PRO members”. What the author doesn’t know is if that special box will be go for sale for anyone or just for PRO members. As you know Fuji launched a special all Black X100 limited edition so there is a chance they will do something similar with the X PRO 1 too! Let’s cross your fingers!

The X 100 special kit is available at BHphoto (Click here).

Dpreview (Click here) received the new version of the X10 camera with modified sensor. They tested it and the problem has now (finally) solved! But there is no info about when the new modified X10 will ship…
