Capture One Pro 10.1

Last month, we already broke the news here on FujiRumors, that Capture One 10.1 Beta improved support for Fujifilm cameras.

Well, now the final version is out and available for download.

Here are the Fujifilm related improvements.

New Camera Support

  • Fujifilm X-T20
  • Fujifilm X-A10
  • Fujifilm XQ2

Support for Fuji compressed format

Yes, it’s here – Capture One 10.1 finally supports Fuji Compressed RAW files.

X-trans pipeline re-design

With point one release, Capture One 10 delivers support for LCC, Chromatic Aberration Analysis, and Purple Fringing tools for X-trans type sensors Fuji cameras. OpenCL is now also supported by X-trans files, that would significantly increase overall processing speed.

Still no film simultion support, but you can find a great homebrew at the fuji-x-forum.

Nissin Air 10s Release Postponed. Sony Version in July. Fujifilm & Co To Be Released in the Following Months

Share

Back in February here, Nissin announced the Nissin Air 10s.

At that time, Nissin planed to release the Sony version in April, followed by Fujifilm & Co versions in the following months, but it seems there will be a delay.

In a press release of April 28, Nissin says that the launch of Sony version has been postponed to July “and the other models will gradually be released to the public in the following months.”

You can pre-order the Fujifilm version of the Nissin Air 10s at BHphoto, where it is currently still marked as available on Jul 18, 2017, but I guess this will change soon.

Novoflex GFX Support

We already broke the news here on FR, that Novoflex is working on support for Fujifilm GFX. Well, we now have the full details, thanks to fellow GFX facebook group member Vadim (thanks). Here is the press release:

“We are happy to announce the first NOVOFLEX lens adapters for the new Fujifilm GFX 50s medium format camera.

The line will start with adapters for Leica R, Leica M, Nikon and Canon FD bayonet mount, whose market introduction is planned for the beginning of June, 2017. More adapters are in preparation. Among these will be models for medium format lenses of the following mounts: Hasselblad V, Mamiya 645 and Pentax 67 and an adapter for the universal bellows of the BALPRO-series.

Especially interesting are the lens adapters with 35mm bayonet mount for tilt-/shift lenses, as their image circle is absolutely large enough, in order to fully illuminate the sensor format of the GFX 50s. However, numerous further 35mm lenses have an image circle which is bigger than the 35mm format itself, so that none or only marginal vignettings are caused. Moreover, many old or classic 35mm lenses are based on lens calculations of large format and/or medium format lenses. Potentially arising vignettings can be used for creative purposes or in many cases can later be removed by software.

The adapter for Nikon lenses comes with built-in mechanical aperture control to allow its use with G-type Nikkor lenses as well. None of the adapters will transfer any information between the camera and the lens.“

Fujifilm X100F: “Passion for Photography Condensed to a Little Beautiful Box” :: Ken Rockwell X100F Review :: Dust Proof X100F Viewfinder & More

Fujifilm X100F Zone

Time for another dedicated roundup about Fujifilm’s most sexy camera, the Fujifilm X100F. But it does not look only super-good, it also takes gorgeous images, as you can see at our 8,000+ Fujifilm X100F facebook group. I’ll just share 3 images from the group down below.

But let’s start with the ThePhotonauts video review that I’ve shared at the top of this article. I’d like to highlight the final conclusions the reviewer makes, because I think he really brings the whole X100F (and Fuji X) shooting experience to the point. ThePhotonauts says:

“Fujifilm X cameras have helped me to enjoy photography again, when I had a big low in my career a few years ago. The X100 series is what started it all, but to this day and with the latest iteration, this hasn’t changed one bit.

Some of you may not get the same vibe, but to me and many others, these cameras are passion for photography condensed to a little beautiful box.

Just looking at it makes me want to get out and shoot. I think that’s more than I could ever have asked from any camera.”

And now a few more X100F links to enjoy :)

This Guy Fine Tuned his Fujifilm Film Simulation Settings Inspired by the Work of Great Film Photographers. See “Chrome Eggleston” & More

Matching The Masters with Fuji’s Film Simulations

As many of us, also Pete loves the Fujifilm film simulations. And as some of us, also he likes it to fine tune the in camera film simulations settings to taste.

But as an avid reader of photography books and inspired by the work of great photographers of the past and present, Pete tried to adjust the film simulation settings in a way that they resemble the main characteristics of their images.

So Classic Chrome becomes “Chrome Eggleston“, Provia becomes “Provia Sternfeld“, Acros becomes “Acros Ellen Mark” or “Acros Moriyama” (depending on the settings) and so forth.

Pete writes:

“It may seem a little arrogant, invoking these names. Honestly, I don’t think I’m anywhere near their level.

But what it does provide is an idea as to what to shoot for. For example, it’s a rainy summer’s Saturday night in the city. I’m working a project on nightlife on the streets. I reckon Daido Moriyama has the right idea – inky blacks and clipped highlights. And I stick with that look, for the duration of the project.

These custom titles are little messages to myself, when I raise the camera and scroll through them, wondering… what if I shot the nightlife like John Bulmer shot gritty Northern industrial landscapes? What if I shoot the beauty of the Gower Coastline like Daido Moriyama shoots the city streets of Tokyo? It becomes an exciting question, one as equally valid as wondering what lens to screw on the front of the camera. “

So how exactly are his film simulation settings? And how do the images look like? To discover that, read “Film & Vision – Making Fuji-X Simulations Work For You” at petetakespictures.

Get inspired. Check out the photography books of the masters mentioned in Pete’s article at Amazon:
