Trusted Source says: A New X-camera will be Announced in May!

According to a trusted source, Fuji will announce a new X-camera in May. The source didn’t specify if it will be one with intercheangeable lenses or a fixed lens camera.

What camera could it be? Maybe the long rumored X-T10? It is expected to be available in late spring/early summer, so an announcement in mid/late May (available in late June) could be a plausible option. But it could be also a completely different model.

I’ll work on it as soon as I’m at home this evening. Of course, any help from sources out there is highly appreciated.

RUMOR: Fujifilm plans a Super Fast F/1.0 lens! (New Source)

Share

First take the Grain of Salt… and then you can start dreaming ;)

According to a New Source, Fujifilm is working on a Super Fast XF lens, that will have a widest opening of F1.0. The source says that the specs are not final until now, but the focal length planed at the moment is around 30mm.

Consider that it looks like we are in the early stages of development of this lens, so there might be some changes in the specs (if this rumor is true at all… remember, grain of salt)

The fastest XF lens available until now is the 56mmF1.2 (now $150 off!), which delivers sharp results all over the frame even at its maximum aperture. So Fujifilm has definitely the know-how and potential to design a lens that delivers astonishing results even at F/1.0.

What would be your ideal focal length for such an über-fast F1.0 lens?

“Sharp from edge to edge at f/1.4, Nice Bokeh, Fast & Accurate AF” XF 16mmF1.4 review at thedigitaltrekker

Share

Matt Brandon tested the XF 16mm F1.4 in Kenya. You can read his first impression at thedigitaltrekker. Here an excerpt:

The lens is weather sealed and becomes a great addition to the the weather sealed X-T1. Twice on this trip I was shooting in the rain and the camera got completely drenched. Not a problem. […] It is fast, so it will be useful in low light situations, it is sharp and focuses quickly and accurately. What more can a photographer want?”

It seems that this time, the rumor shared first here on FR was correct: Lightroom 6 will come on Tuesday, April 21. There is a teaser about an imminent launch of “something BIG” at lightroomkillertips. Scott Kelby doesn’t expressly say it’s LR 6, but it’s very likely that we will soon see the rumor confirmed… and see if Adobe has improved the X-Trans demosaicing.
