Automatically Convert RAF to DNG in CaptureOne :: Luminar 2018 First Looks :: Lightroom Vs. Photo Mechanic & More (X-Trans Zone)

I have received some emails, asking me if I ever heard of RAW Power. Sure I have :). Actually FujiRumors was the first site to report about it 10 months ago here. I included it also in my 10 Lightroom alternatives article lately. So at least for regular FR readers, it’s old news.

What nobody told you until now is that you should keep in mind RAW Power uses the Apple RAW engine, which so far, to my knowledge, does not support Fujifilm compressed RAW files. This could be a dealbreaker for many out there, who like to shoot lossless compressed.

With that said, let’s jump over to today’s X-Trans conversion roundup… hope you can find something useful for you :)

Ibelux 40mm F0.85 + Mitakon F0.95 Reviews + 7Artisans 35mm f/2 :: Best Fujinon Lenses in Late 2017 :: XF60 No Poor-Mans 56 (X-Mount Lens Zone)

Fujifilm X-shooters have a few ultra fast X-mount third party lens options, such as the Mitakon 35/0.95 and the Ibelux 40/0.85. But how do they perform?

Well, there are many reports already shared on FujiRumors, such as Jonas Rasks’ Mitakon 35/0.95 review. And today I want to add a few more reports, also about the second generation Ibelux 40mm/0.85, the currently fastest lens you can buy in Fuji X mount, and which is no longer a “HandeVision” but a “Kipon” product, as reported by dc.watch here

National Geographic Declares Fujifilm X-T2 Best Overall Compact Travel Camera 2017… Top 10 Ranking Includes X-T20 and X100F

The end of 2017 is approaching, so get ready for many “Top gear of the year” and similar articles appearing on the web. So let’s start, this time with National Geographic, who listed their Top 10 compact cameras for travels.

This year, there are 3 Fuji cameras in the ranking, the Fujifilm X-T2, the X100F and the X-T20 (in 2015 Nat Geo awarded 2 Fuji cameras, the X-T1 and X100T, as reported here).

Read the whole article “Top 10 Compact Cameras for Travelers” at nationalgeographic here and click on the product link in the list below for specs & price:

About the X-T2 they write:

The X-T2 has everything one would want in a professional DSLR in a APS-C mirrorless camera. The combination of quality manual dials to control settings, speed of image processing, the amazing line lenses and the build quality make this camera such a pleasure to use that many professionals now use this camera as their main system. You simply cannot go wrong with the X-T2 as a high end travel camera; it’s an all-star, all-around team player that just won’t quit or let you down, no matter where your travels take you.”

However, in the features list of the X-T2 and X-T20 they mention the “five-axis image stabilization“. Now, Fujifilm has arguably the best optical lens image stabilization system on the market, but so far, IBIS is something that will come… in a not so distant future ;) .

Anyway, do you agree with this list?

Sure, the Fujifilm X-T2 has weather sealing, so definitely a nice to have feature on travels. On the other hand, nothing can beat the simplicity and lightness of travelling with the X100F. And coupled with the WCL-X100 and TCL-X100, the X100F is a wonderful mini-system with leaf shutter and build-in ND-filter, that makes it so much more versatile than “just” for street photography.

But let’s see what you think about it :)

Fujifilm X-T20 Success

The launch of the (in many ways superior) Fujifilm X-E3 does not seem to have affected negatively the X-T20 sales. The X-T20 keeps up staying in the high positions of the AmazonUS ranking. In fact it is the best selling Fujifilm camera at AmazonUS at the moment.

Roundup

The mirrorlessons guys are back. This time they compare the Fujifilm X-T20 with the Olympus OM-D E-M10 III. Here are their final conclusions… and make sure to read it all at mirrorlesscomparison:

Choose the OM-D E-M10 mark III if you:

  • want a beginner-friendly interface with lots of extra features
  • want better image stabilisation for stills and video
  • want a wider selection of lenses
  • want to spend less

Choose the Fujifilm X-T20 if you:

  • prefer a camera with simple controls and more customisation
  • want better autofocus for action and video
  • want a little bit extra in terms of image quality (resolution, dynamic range and high ISOs)
