Jim Kasson shared at the GFX group here his GF 63mm conclusions. All details details at blog.kasson.

I just finished the on-axis sharpness, focus shift, and LoCA tests for the 63mm f/2.8 lens on the GFX at 2 meters.
Conclusions:
This is one sharp lens on-axis.
There’s a fair amount of LoCA
The focus shift, while easily measurable, is modest.

Kaizen? Sorry Fuji, We Can’t Get Enough :) ! New 30+ Wish List of Future Improvements!

Share

 photo KAIZEN_zps1fdb780f.png

Dear Fujifilm, we love the Kaizen love you give to our cameras. But you know… we can never get enough :)

So here are some more firmware ideas for the future, shared by FR-reader Fujica (high time to share it :))

And you know it… Fujifilm Top Managers Read you!

  1. Interlock AF Type setting to AF Focus setting
    For example if you switch to single shot Focus (S) on the camera to then switch to Single Point focus automatically. If the camera is set to Continuous Focus to then automatically switch to Zone AF. – Of course the user should be able to set his own AF Type preference for each of the Focus settings (S / C).
  2. Live histogram when shutterbutton is being half pressed
  3. Set maximum number of images in CL / CH
  4. Cooked RAWs of Film Simulations
  5. Cooked RAWs for double exposure
  6. Cooked RAWs for panoramic shots
  7. Cooked RAWs for Dynamic Range Settings (DR200 / DR400 / AUTO)
  8. Reala Film Simulation
  9. Color Chrome Effect
  10. E-Front Curtain Shutter
  11. Date & Time to seconds
  12. More Customisable Q-Menu – More options to choose from (especially RAW options)
  13. AI Focus Intelligent version of One Shot Focus (S) and Continuous Focus (C) (Choose automatically depending upon the fact if the subject is moving or not).
  14. Move Pixel Mapping option under the Wrench (This is not an image IQ option but a maintenance tool)
  15. Quickly Select AF-Custom setting via rear command dial
  16. New Leveler with Tilt & Pitch (as found in the GFX)
  17. Star Rating to be compatible with Lightroom
  18. Eye Sensor while shooting + LCD Menu
  19. Auto ISO WARNING when below recommended shutter speed (Highly needed)
  20. RGB Histogram
  21. Anti Flicker AF option
  22. Noise reduction to ‘Off’
  23. Point-AF Follow Focus within Phase Detect area for moving subjects in AF-C. (sort of widea-area tracking, but different and better).
  24. Focus Tracking with Lock-on: Nikon has added additional options here for erratic or steady subjects allowing me to fine tune my autofocus for every given situation.
  25. Point-AF extension 1 (normal) – 5 (cross)  – 9 points (extended).
  26. CH mode: 6 + 7 fps
  27. Create Tone Curve (As Nikon Picture Control Editor)
  28. Improved ‘Add Noise’ as is calculated with the ACROS film simulation but then available to other Film Simulations. (So with no noise in the highlights and deepest shadows)
  29. 4k Video Image Capture: I can now take 8mp stills while shooting 4k video or extract them frame by frame after the fact.
  30. Slow Motion video Recording / playback
  31. F-Log to SD card

X-Pro2 Specific

  1. ISO set via rear command dial when ISO is set to L
  2. 4K video

What else?

Well, I (Patrick) would really like to have a highlight priority metering mode.

And you?

Fujinon GF 23mm F4 R LM WR

The Fujinon GF 23mm F4 R LM WR will be announced on April 19, 2017.

Just as rumored yesterday, on April 19 Fujifilm will also announce the Fujinon GF 110mm F2 WR LM.

To me this means just one thing: I have to recover good from my birthday party on April 17, since on April 19 I want to be fit for the Live Blogging here on FujiRumors :).

And in case you missed it, I am selling a “FujiRumors” personalized wooden hand grip (for X-T1), a “FujiRumors” hot shoe cover and also a leather strap here. The value is of $110, and currently the highest bet is of $155. 100% of the money goes to charity to support free education in Cambodia at KNGO, the NGO we collected $3,500 last year with the sale of the fair trade recycled X-shirts.

So help me to make my brithday party awesome, and bid for a good cause (and awesome products) at the auction here (exp. April 17).

Oh, right, also the new Instax Square cameras, the Instax Square SQ and Instax Square SQ10 will be announced on April 19. The Instax Square SQ10 will be a hybrid digital/film camera. All details here.
