We already told you in this article, that Sirui has launched its new 50mm anamorphic lens on Indiegogo.
Now Cinema5D reviewed this lens used on the Fujifilm X-T3.
An anamorphic lens for $700… is this too good to be true? Here is what Cinema5D says (video below).
Photographer Samuel Elkins runs a popular youtube channel, and he recently purchased the Fujifilm GFX100.
He comes from full frame Canon, so his expectations where high, especially in terms of colors.
In the video, he goes over 4 images that he imported in Lightroom.
First he noticed that, when he turns the exposure sliders, the images “react so well” and he has never seen his Canon files react that good. He concludes that this is probably because the “image quality is off the charts. I think a lot has to do with the 16bit color depth.” on the GFX100.
He edits his images for about 20 seconds, but then remarks:
I want you guys to notice, how good it looks, just right out of the camera. Great skin tones. Great dynamic range. Great colors.
Overall he seems to experience what many Fujifilm shooters are already familiar with: faster image editing thanks to the great Fuji files out of the box.

Italian photographer Roberto owned Fujifilm X series gear, but at some point followed the siren songs of full frame Sony.
Now, after using Sony for a while, he switched back to Fujifilm.
In his (Italian) video he explains why.
But don’t worry, you are lucky that FujiRumors is a polyglot (I speak 4 languages), so I am going to translate it for you ;).
Sonder Creative and Anete compared the Fujifilm X-T3 with Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 with the Sony a7iii with Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8.
At the end it is a split decision, with Anete preferring the Fujifilm system and Sonder Creative the Sony system.
But I want to highlight one thing, before I leave you to the video and a summary down below.
We know that, in terms of depth of field, f/1.2 on APS-C does not give the same results of f/1.2 on full frame.
In fact, f/1.2 on APS-C is closer to f/1.8 on full frame, and this is why on this comparison you don’t really see any difference in terms of depth of field between the Fuji and the Sony (except for the bokeh quality, which is better on the Fuji.)
The point?
When Sonder Creative exposed properly both images (base ISO, and widest aperture), he noticed that the shutter speed was completely different:
He concludes saying that:
one of the advantages of shooting with APS-C, is that you can shoot with a much faster shutter speed compared to full frame
Seen from this perspective, the light gathering capability of f/1.2 on Fujifilm APS-C is and remains f/1.2.
I thought I point this out and let you discuss about it.

And now to the video and the summary:
Chris & Jordan from DPRTV have posted their mid-range APS-C mirrorless shootout comparing the following cameras:
So what do they say is best?
