Sigma 100-400 Improved Support Added to Fringer EF-FX Smart Adapter with Firmware ver.1.83

Fringer just released a minor firmware update ver. 1.83 for it EF-FX smart adapter, mainly for improved Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 support.

Fringer adapter users may try the latest firmware version (v1.83) which has some enhancement regarding Sigma100-400‘s support. The PDAF accuracy has been improved. Meanwhile, the OS function only work during your half-pressing of the shutter release button. And the lens with latest (v2.0) firmware will work normally, too. V1.83 is a minor update as its only difference from v1.80 is Sigma100-400’s support. Later, these enhancements will be integrated into next major update, i.e. v1.90.

Thoughts

The Fujifilm X-T100 delivers a lot for small price. I can definitely see this camera becoming a huge success. If you own a flagship X-Trans camera (X-T2 &. Co) and are looking for a back-up camera, my biggest and only concern would be the post production workflow, since the X-T100 features a Bayer sensor camera and maybe you guys are better off with an X-Trans X-T20 or X-E3. However, Jonas Rask says in his first look “if you’re used to dealing with X-Trans, this sensor won’t give you the need to redefine your workflow.”

The X-T100 is a perfect first camera for people, who want to step up from smartphone photography or for people from other systems, who want to make the first steps into the X-system, but keep the Bayer CFA they are used to, with a well rounded and very affordable X series camera.

Finally Somebody Did it: The Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 Pocket Test + a More Serious Review Too :)

Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 Review

If you follow FujiRumors also on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, you will know that I am in LOVE with my Fujifilm X-E3. And you will also know, that the lens I use most on my X-E3 is the Fujinon XF 27mmF2.8.

And I don’t love my 27 just because it is so small, but also because it’s actually an astonishing performer for its size. It is really sharp, chromatic aberration and distortion are extremely well controlled… and yes… it is so tiny :) .

I do own plenty of other Fujinon lenses, and yes, the bigger guys like my XF35mmF1.4 are optically even better, but since I bought my XF27mm back in December, it has become my most used lens on my X-E3.

The reason is simple: the X-E3 with XF27mm just fits in everywhere. Hence, every time I leave my apartment, may it just be to pick up quickly my nephew from the kindergarden, I just grab my X-E3 and 27 and take it with me with no need to put in a bag or whatsoever. It fits in almost every pocket…. and speaking of pockets…

… somebody finally did it, the big XF27mm pocket test.

It’s Omar, from Omar Gonzalez Photography. He also got himself a Fujinon XF27mm for his Fujifilm X-T20, and he now shared his review on youtube here. But besides the little pocket test, Omar also makes a more comprehensive review with pixel peeping and so forth. So make sure to check it out here.

And in case you read this, Omar… I lost my lens cap too :).

If you own an X-T20 or X-E3, hence one of the more compact Fujifilm cameras, and want the ultimate compact and yet high performing combo, then the XF27mmF2.8 is the lens you need.

Fujifilm Instax Square SQ6: The Ultimate Guide and Review

Instax SQ6

Over the last few days, while trying to decide if I should get the Fujifilm Instax SP-2 or Fujifilm Instax SP-3 for a friend, who becomes father soon, I have watched quite some Instax videos by Lauren from Photography Concentrate, since she has the best online coverage for all things Fujifilm Instax.

With the help of her videos, as well as the feedback of the FR-facebook community and FR-Twitter community here, I made my decision, and went for… well… I’ll tell you later ;) .

But today it’s not about my struggles, but about the brand new Fujifilm Instax Square SQ6.

Lauren has made a comprehensive video that includes also very useful tips on how to make the most out of your SQ6. It’s not always as easy as pressing the shutter button and it’s all good. With a few tips Lauren shares, you can often get much better results. You can see the video at the top of the article or direcly on youtube here. Down below the unboxing.
