Fujinon MK 18-55 T2.9 Fuji X-mount – Newsshooter at NAB 2017 from Newsshooter on Vimeo.

Fujifilm already said in this official press release, that the X-mount versions of the MK18-55mm T2.9 and MK50-130mm T2.9 will come in late 2017.

An anonymous source now send me the first image of a MK18-55mm T2.9 X-mount prototype mounted on the Fujifilm X-T2 (thanks a lot).

If you want to see, how Fujifilm’s MK lenses are manufactured (and also other X-mount lenses and cameras), feel free to check out this article about the Fujifilm factory tour.

UPDATE: Interview with Fujifilm Manager about the MK lenses. They talk about and show also the Fujifilm X-mount version. The manager says that the price can’t be very different from the E-mount version and that they try to come out with X-mount version within this year (2017).

  • Just Another Fuji Convert, From Trying Every Other System – Read here

Hello!

My name is Serge and I’ve written a guest feature before, about adopting the fuji system, in particular using the Fuji X-Pro2 my personal life, street photography, as well as concert photography.

This time I’ve had the chance to put it through an intensive, 1 week photo trip to Havana, Cuba. I paired my x-pro 2 with a fuji 23mm f2, creating a fast focusing, light, reliable, comfortable and even weather sealed combo.

What it created is really that feeling when youre not even thinking about the camera, when you can just be immersed into whats happening around you, which in turn appears to lead to better images. Gear annoyances can take you out of that zone, and fuji x-pro 2 with 23mm f2 allowed for an immersive experience. What is also interesting, is that i ended up using mostly SOOC jpegs or built in profiles for editing. Throughout the whole trip, I’ve only wished for a tilt screen for the x-pro 2. Now that I’ve purchased a fuji X100F, i still feel like the x-pro 2 combo was just a little more responsive and robust.

Although it sounds a little hokey, i really enjoyed walking around Havana with the x-pro 2 and 23mm f2, feeling as much of a bond as one can have with a piece of equipment :).

Please find the images from my trip below!

Fujifilm GFX 50s Review: “Breath-Taking Image Quality. Best Value for Money of Any Medium Format EVER!” (ePhotoZine)

Share

ePhotozine just published their full Fujifilm GFX 50s Review. From their conclusions:

“The image quality possible is simply breath-taking – noise is extremely well controlled, colour reproduction is excellent, and the camera delivers Fujifilm’s beautiful colours. There’s also Fujifilm’s range of film simulations, so you can have the colour style you want. The GFX 50S makes medium format photography accessible in another way too, in that you don’t have to process every raw file to get the best out of it, with the camera producing excellent JPEG images straight from the camera. […]

Whether you should invest in the Fujifilm GFX 50S camera and system isn’t necessarily a question of whether the camera is good enough or not, it is, without a doubt, an excellent camera, and well worth the money. It makes medium format cameras accessible and delivers exceptional results.

If you have the money to spend on a camera like this, then you can’t really go wrong. If you’re in the market for medium format and want to move to another level of image quality then the Fujifilm GFX 50s delivers phenomenal image quality in spades and buckets.”

Fujifilm GFX 50s or Sony A7R2, Worth Upgrading? :: 7 Macro Photography Tips :: X-T2 Shoots 4K Music Video :: X-T1 Infrared (miXed zone)

Fujifilm GFX

Lewis Von John tries to answer one of the most asked questions these days: is it worth upgrading from the Sony A7rII to the Fujifilm GFX 50s? Of course everybody has its own answer, depending on your own the needs (and budget).

Anyway, Lewis is mainly a landscape photographer, and he’s out with his trusty Sekonic 748dr light meter, comparing the A7rII and GFX. Here are some of his considerations.

  • Sony A7rII is a great camera, but no comparison to Fujifilm GFX
  • Fujifilm GFX great battery life as opposed to the A7rII
  • Better EVF for GFX
  • GFX more robust.
  • GFX build for professional use, feel great in the hand
  • Sony feels more like a computer, completely different user experience
  • Default standart colors are more vibrant and punchy on GFX, quite flat looking colors on the A7rII
  • Lewis prefers the colors that come out of the box from the GFX
  • images look really soft on the A7rII compared to the GFX

Lewis says he needs to do more testings, but from this first test, he would say the Fujifilm GFX wins hands down. You can check out the whole video, “Fujifilm GFX 50s or Sony A7R2, is it worth upgrading?” at Lewis Von John Youtube
