ValueTechTV shared 2 short video presentations of some unreleased lenses at (Part1 –  Part2).

For non-German speaking FR-readers, here are what I consider the most interesting things they say:

Part 1: The XF35mmF2 will come end of 2015. It’s smaller than the 35mmF1.4, which is very good if you look through the OVF, so the lens protrudes less into the viewfinder. [admin: the journalist probably just forgot to add: “ if you look through the OVF… of the X-PRO2” ;) ]

Part 2: ValueTechTV says that the XF 100-400 was delayed, because Fuji decided to change the aperture range at the wide end [mock-ups at photokina showed an aperture range from F4 to F5.6]. Always according to ValueTechTV, Fuji is still “experimenting”, but it will have more or less a range that goes from F5 to F5.6 in order to make it more compact.

Fujirumors’ window to CP+: DAY 2

The Spanish site dslrmagazine (translation) had the opportunity to take some shots with the Fujifilm XM-FL Filter Lens Cap (officilly announced here, price around $90). It includes full size JPEGs.

Over at the Japanese site dc.watch you can find some more images of the new lenses. You want see nothing really new compared to the set of images shared yesterday. But it’s funny to see the big 16-55 mounted on the selfie X-A2… and the a cut of the 16-55 and 50-140.

There is also another high-res image of the upcoming lenses, spotted by FR-reader DIS. You can clearly see that the 90mmF2 is not marked as “Weather Resistant”, although Fuji Guy Greg said that it would be weather resistant. To know more about, check out this post.

Brian just released Iridient Developer 3.0 beta 5. Here are the improvements described by Brian himself:

“Iridient Developer 3 beta 5 is now available and includes support for the X-A2 and XQ2 plus a fix for the previous Fill Light bug and numerous other refinements and changes (preset file support and streamlined color management setup, etc). Plus some nice improvements to the monochrome mixer conversions, particularly the new v3 RAW variants that really advances the monochrome conversions both in terms of lower noise and better apparent detail. Ive been working closely with a few pro photographers on this new monochrome conversion processing and I think it is really showing some amazing results!

The Clarity adjustment plus some of the other processing on the Detail pane is now previewed at all scale (zoom) sizes and no longer cuts out at 50%. I have been able to make some major improvements to both memory usage and performance plus have refined the preview approximation at small scale sizes so this should result in an overall better small preview while not being too much of a performance hit now.

The Help documentation should now be all updated for new version 3 functionality and changes too.”
