Phottix continues to be quite enigmatic, regarding their Fujifilm support.

When they launched the Ares II flash trigger back in February, when asked about Fuji support, they answered: “You never know what the future holds” (article here)

Well, recently they gave another hint on their facebook page here. They shared a video of a Fuji user using the Phottix Indra 500 and Indra 360, and in the comments they said:

“No dedicated Fuji trigger, yet.”

When asked more explicitly if they plan Fuji support, they answered:

“Fujirumors says we do” [here is the article with the rumor]

The flash problems for Fuji users will soon belong to the past. Godox & Co are all working on support. And how else could it be, given that in the last 5 years the Fuji X (and now also G) system exploded. The Fuji X (and G) user market can’t be ignored anymore.

A trusted source anticipated it to us here (thanks again)… and now I have a few more details  for you from a fellow FR-reader.

Here is the deal:

Starting from tomorrow, at least in some EU countries (for example Germany), you will be able to get

• € 200 Instant Rebate on X-Pro2
• € 329 discount on X-T2 (you get the Vertical Grip for Free)

And the lenses? I have no information for now, but let’s hope they will be included too.

Graphite Silver Fujifilm X-T2: AmazonDE, AmazonUK, AmazonITA, AmazonFR, AmazonESP, PCHstore, WexUK
Fujifilm X-T2:AmazonDE, Calumentphoto DE, AmazonUK, AmazonITA, AmazonFR, AmazonESP, PCHstore, WexUK
Fujifilm X-Pro2: AmazonDE / AmazonUK / WexUK / PCHstore / AmazonITA / AmazonFR / AmazonES

According to a trusted source (thanks for sharing the good news :) ), new Fujifilm deals will come next week in Europe.

I don’t know which country exactly will offer the deals, but it’s not a long wait anymore, and we will find it out at the Fujifilm EU Promotion Page.

THE RUMOR

Hey guys,

I had quite a long chat with a new source. I’ll bring to the point:

Phase One will add support for Fujifilm GFX 50s in Capture One Pro.

There is a bit of confusion on th C1 GFX support topic, because:

• December 30, 2016: Phase One Support says Capture One won’t support the Fujifilm GFX: “It’s a direct competitor of our core business.” (stroy here)
• January 5, 2017: PhaseOne managment corrects: “Fujifilm GFX support? We have not yet decided. It depends on the GFX Market impact” (stroy here)
• February 17, 2017: During a Zack Arias live talk, a Fuji Rep says to Zack Arias, that there will be Capture One support for Fujifilm GFX (story here)

So, there is hope.

And maybe the recent Capture One 10.1 update, which finally introduced some significant X-Trans support improvments, could be a sign that Phase One is finally working with more dedication to support Fujifilm cameras.

• Capture One Pro 10.1 Released: Improved Fujifilm X-Trans support, X-T20, XQ2 and X-A10 support & more (more here)

Oh… and how could I forget that…. grain of salt, of course, fellow Fuji Shooters ;)

FujiRumors Talk with Phase One Manager

I had the opportunity to quickly chat with a Phase One manager.

I asked about GFX support, and of course he couldn’t give me any answer, since he said that “especially regarding the GFX we don’t pre release any forthcoming support“. To me, this sounds already better than… let’s say… “we currently have no plans for GFX support“. :)

I also asked about Fujifilm film simulation support, and the Manager said that it depends on market demand. “We don’t get so many requests for it – at least officially.  Best thing to do is for Fuji users to log it at phaseone.com/support.”

So what are your waiting for? Drop them an email :)

cheers

Capture One Opens Your Fujifilm GFX Files with This Hack!

Happy Monday, fellow X and G Shooters!

Let’s start the week with a rumor, but take this one with an extra grain of salt, because it’s not only a quite long term rumor, but also a firmware rumor.

With that said, here is what I’ve just heard.

According to a source, right in the past, Fujifilm is planing a firmware update for Fujifilm X100F and Fujifilm X-T20 in autumn 2017.

I have no indication about what it will bring. I doubt it will be huge firmware update, like the one the X-T2 recently got, but it could definitely be a “Kaizen light” firmware update.

I’ll investiagte this, and update you guys as soon as I hear something new. So stay tuned on FujiRumors via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

And I remind you that Fujifilm announced firmware updates for Fujifilm GFX, X-T2 and X-Pro2 in late May.

Fujifilm X-T20: USA: BHphoto, Adorama, AmazonUS EU: AmazonDE, AmazonUK, WexUK, PCH AUS: CameraPro
Fujifilm X100F: USA: BHphoto, Adorama, AmazonUS EU: AmazonDE, AmazonUK, WexUK, PCH AUS: CameraPro

enjoy your day,
