No more X-PRO1S… all R&D placed into the X-PRO2!

Share

photo pro_zpsfd438901.jpg

Several months ago I told you that Fuji planed to launch an X-PRO1S first, and then follow with the X-PRO2 in 2015. Now, an anonymous source, told me that:

„no X-Pro1s on the horizon… all R&D [research and development] is being placed into X-Pro2 for 2015.“

Maybe, given the great success of the X-T1, Fuji decided to cut off plans for the X-PRO1S and let the X-T1 remain their top high-end X-series camera until the launch of the X-PRO2.

This rumor comes from an anonymous source, who gave itself a nickname, so that I can recognize it in future (thanks for this). It also shared rumors in the past. Some of the rumors are still unconfirmed and others (X-T1 price) were correct.

For now, take it with a tiny grain of salt.

And feel free to use the rumor box to contact me anonymously (feel free to use a nickname) or drop me an email at fujirumor [at] gmail.com.

If you “pay on delivery”, UPS will handle all the customs work for you and deliver the item home to you where you pay the customs costs directly to the mailman.”

Fuji X Secrets: Rico Pfirstinger’s Workshop on June 7th!

Share

[UPDATE: the event is already sold out, but Rico will organize more workshops if there is enough interest. Order now and you’ll be added to the waiting list. Check out the dedicated websites: www.fuji-x-secrets.com or www.fuji-x-secrets.de.

We don’t always need new and better cameras, the latest stuff and the hottest gear. No, what we need is to know how to make the best use of what we already own. And that’s exactly what you’ll learn at the workshop of X-series guru Rico Pfirstinger.

On June 7th, in Schwabach (next to Nürnberg, GER), you’ll have the chance to shoot, learn and work with Rico Pfirstinger. Take your X-series camera with you (or Rico will lend you one) and learn how to enjoy the full potential of your X-series camera.

But act fast, as just about 7 persons will be included in the workshop. A small group and a lot to learn. If you want to know more, check out the details here.

You can be sure to learn a lot… and anyone, who has ever read one of his great books, knows what I’m talking about.

Highly Recommended… what else! 56mm review at ephotozine and 10-24 at photographyblog

Share

photo highly_zps4f1c0b71.jpg

The X-series is creaming off more “highly recommended” awards! This time they go to Fuji’s latest lenses, the 56mm and the 10-24mm.

ephotozine 56mm review here: “This lens is a fine addition to the X-series lens line up. It is incredibly sharp when stopped down, and performs well wide open too. The build and handling are also of the same high standard we’ve come to expect from Fujifilm. The price of £890 seems quite reasonable when compared to alternatives produced for other camera systems too.”

photographyblog 10-24mm review here: “The Fujifilm 10-24mm lens is remarkably sharp in the image centre at f/4 throughout the entire focal range, and you only need to stop-down to f/5.6 to get acceptably sharp edges too. Vignetting is practically a non-issue, and chromatic aberrations are only noticeable by their almost complete absence. Barrel distortion is also very well controlled, even at 10mm, an amazing performance given the ultra-wide-angle focal length.”
