X100S discontinued

You won’t be able to purchase the silver Fujifilm X100S at BHphoto anymore, since it is discontinued there… and this isn’t surprising at all.

The Fujifilm X100S was surely a winner for Fujifilm, but now the superior Fujifilm X100T hit the market… and for the same price of the X100S! The only way for Fujifilm to get rid of the last X100S in stock, is to offer huge savings on it. At the moment, you can save $200 on the X100s at BHphoto, AmazonUS. Adorama and Pictureline.

RAWTHERAPEE

Over a month ago FR-reader Dean told me that Rawtherapee added a preliminary support for X-TRANS RAF files. But it was still a early support, so we decided to wait for the final and stable version before sharing this news on Fujirumors… and now the day has come.

You can download Rawtherapee ver. 4.2.1 (not for Yosemite) 100% free at their download page here. For the press-release click here.

Now it’s up to X-shooters to give it a try… test it and feel free to drop your comment down below.

A couple of weeks ago I posted on facebook here and on twitter here a simple table (posted above), showing the X-mount lenses that Fuji has rolled out in the last 2/3 years… and looking back, it’s really impressive how many high quality lenses Fuji gave us in such a short time.

Add to the XF/XC lenses also the Zeiss 12. 32 and 50 lenses + the various Fuji X Samyang lenses and a few more brands that offer Fuji-X mount lenses and I’d say that, after just three years, X-shooters have a pretty decent lens-option (but where are Sigma & Tamron?)

But X-shooters are hungry for more. In fact, over at the FR- facebook page, many of them expressed their “lens wish-list” in order to complete the lineup: an XF 16mm f2.8 tilt-shift, an XF 135mm f/2.8, an XF 56mm f/1.2 with OIS, an XF 8-16mm f/4 ultra wide angle zoom, a fish-eye lens… or what about an XF 105mm f2.8 1:1 macro lens?

Whatever you are still missing, today you can let Fujifilm know which lenses you would like to see coming in 2015/2016.

THE RULE IS: please express just 2 preferences of future X-mount lenses… I know, it’s hard, but I want you to suffer a bit ;).

So, the comments are open… later on I’ll sum them up into a lens-master-poll! And feel free to continue to vote the “favorite lens” poll.
