Listed at BHphoto, but still not available for pre-order: Fuji’s newly announced Macro Extension Tubes
_ _ _
Back on the 20th of November, Fujifilm officially announced the Macro Extension Tube MCEX-11 and MECX-16.
randallcipriano tested the MCEX-11 version on the 27, 56, 35, 23 and 18-55. You can see the samples on his blog here.
1) Bert Stephani posted his Fujifilm X100T review at youtube and recommends the upgrade from the Fujifilm X100S. But it’s more than “just” a review. Bert also shares his vision/style in street photography and gives you a tip about how to approach a stranger asking for a portrait. Pretty cool to see him dealing with his subjects and the tricks he uses to get a natural, spontaneous shot of them… and don’t forget the Instax SHARE Printer SP-1 in your bag. Definitely worth to check it out here on youtube!
2) We have another one, who thinks that it’s worth to sell the Fujifilm X100S and get the X100T. “Is the X100T Worth the Upgrade Over the X100S? The short answer: Yes.” For the longer answer check out studiobaiocchi
3) The love story continues (and the high ratings too). “Fall in love with photography all over again” X100T review at trustedreviews

As the Fujifilm X100T is about to become available all over the world, I think this is a good time to share my first impressions with this classic, modern camera. I was able to evaluate a pre-production model for several weeks, going through a few revisions of beta firmware in the process.
The X100T uses the same 16.3 MP X-Trans II sensor and 23mm (35mm full-frame equivalent) lens as its predecessor, the X100S. Despite that, it often feels like a different camera—in a good sense. How’s that even possible? It appears that Fujifilm kept what made the X100 and X100S popular (and also quite unique), so the DNA remains intact. On the other hand, there is a plethora of enhancements affecting both hardware and firmware. They all seem to share one common goal: to make the camera more accessible and user-friendly, to make sure that the camera doesn’t get in the way between you and your photography, and to be a genuine pleasure to work with.

Last week I’ve posted the story of Lukas’ switch to Fuji for weddings and portrait photographers here (after 15 years of Nikon). And it seems that the eXodus (as they call it at PetaPixel) continues .
“I shoot weddings for a living” says Vincent over at his blog vopoku here, “there is no way I will compromise on delivering the best results I can for my clients just for a fun experience.” So at the end, what matters, is the image quality, and (amongst the others) that is what convinced Vincent to make the full switch to Fuji. He uses the Fujifilm X-PRO1 + Fujifilm X100S and shot two full wedding seasons exclusively with those cameras.
“Whatever Fujifilm did with the X-Trans sensor seems to work pretty damn well. […] These cameras happens to be the right tools in my hands at the right time. I mean, it could have been a DSLR system, it could have been another CSC, but the Fujifilm X-System became and still is my tool of choice.”
Read the whole story at vopoku here.
