Now, over at the Japanese site dc.watch (translation) you can read the first impressions of this lens Ibelux f/0.85 and see some samples and crops. From the (cryptic google translated) conclusions:

“In terms of earning the amount of blurring, image sensors have an advantage as large. This is a translation come led to the needs of the full-size mirror-less, but if IBELUX 40mm F0.85, can enjoy a large blurring in Micro Four Thirds machine and APS-C machine.

This time, it was trial in combination with X-T1 of the APS-C machine, but it was feeling of being with a large aperture standard lens to full size machine while you are taking. Can you blurred a lot there is no need to compromise on the subject in order to earn a blur, simply by opening the aperture on the spot.

Because it goes to the sharp prudently in F2.8 or later, there is no sensitive part that is common among habit ball, it is easy to use as a prime lens. How to use a snap lens basis because there is a strict weight, but will someone to be a good partner to work making. “

First samples taken with the X100T uploaded by David Hobby, but quickly removed

FR-reader Luke stumbled on this interesting dpreview thread. The screenshot can found at reddit.com.

Apparently, David Hobby uploaded a set of sample images from the X100T to his Flickr account by mistake. The images have since been removed, as he broke his NDA (non-disclosure agreement) by publishing them.

The name is nothing new for FR-readers. I told you over a month ago that X100T could be the name of the X100S successor. The focal lenght remains 23 (APS-C, according to mirrorlessrumors).

The 18-135 is coming. It’s already available in Asia, in some stores in Europe and expected to come in USA by the end of this month.

In the meantime, X-guru Rico was in Berlin with a production version of the first weather resistant lens of Fujifilm and he shared some full size samples on his Flickr here. All the night shots were taken handheld using the 5 stop OIS at shutter speeds between 1/4s and 1/15s…. impressive results! You can leave your tripod at home now ;-).

Fujifilm X30 with 2/3-inch sensor (trusted Japanese source)

Share

photo 23_zps28604b85.jpg

I know, other rumor sites reported rumors of an X30 with a 1“ sensor (or bigger). But according to our top trusted Japanese source, that’s not correct. The sensor will remain a 2/3 one. I have no reason to doubt what the trusted Japanese source told me.

Let’s start it again, the rumored specs list:

(TS= trusted source / NeS =New Source / AS = Anonymous Source / SRP = source who was right in the past, but not yet trusted / ORS = other rumor sites)

  • 2/3 sensor (TS)
  • announcement at photokina (ORS)

Reminder: the rumor of a release on July 3rd was spread by a forum member of dpreview. FR just reported about it.
