Share

So it seems that another rumor (shared almost two months ago here) is right: the New Firmware for Fujifilm X-E2 will be released at the end of this year…. and this time it’s not just a rumor, but it’s Fujifilm itself that confirms to Steven via email (he then shared it on Twitter here).

They did not say which features will come with the new firmware.

It was already known that Fujifilm will launch a new firmware (thanks to Fuji France here). However, this time Fujifilm confirms also the rumored release of late 2015.

stay tuned,

XF 90mmF2 Review at Admiringlight : “Brilliantly sharp, Amongst Best Best Bokeh of any lens I’ve ever used, hands down the best Fuji lens”

Share

XF90mmF2 WR
USA: AmazonUS / BHphoto / Adorama EU: AmazonDE / AmazonUK / AmazonFR / WexUK  / PCHstore / AUS: Camerapro

The XF90mm Review is up at admiringhlight. From the conclusions:

The lens focuses quickly and quietly, is brilliantly sharp right from f/2, has beautifully even and smooth bokeh, has virtually zero CA, no distortion and outstanding color and contrast.

I noted the $949 price as a Pro above, and that’s because typically lenses this good cost a fair bit more than this.

It’s hands down the best lens Fuji has created for the X-Series and one of the finest lenses I’ve used for any system. If you like the medium telephoto focal length and shoot Fuji, simply get it.”

And here are more reviews:

FXF member KwyjiboVanDeKamp started a hot & very interesting topic here at the Fuji X Forum. It’s a comparison between lenses with a 135mm (203mm equiv.) focal length. A topic dedicated to those who don’t have the money for the XF 50-140 ;) .

You can see & compare the performance of various 135mm lenses shared by the FXF community here. If you also have some experience with 135mm lenses, feel free to share your findings and images in this thread.
