A “drunk” Fuji X-E1 review :)

Share


You would think reviewers are cold blood people focused on finding out all the quirks of the tested camera. But our reader Arjantavari managed to do find a new way to test cameras and warned me and you that “The only thing is, I’m a bit drunk. And I’ve been drinking for about 12 hours“. The video can be seen her eon top! Thanks Arjantavari for sharing your story ;)

And here is the “serious” review roundup:
Fuji X PRO 1 with two cheap Minolta Rokkor lens test at Getdpi.
Portraits in the ruins of Spain with the Fuji X-Pro1 ~ pictures and techniques at ProPhotonut.
Fuji X-E1 image samples at Seriouscompacts.

Lenstip tests the 60mm macro: “it is the best X lens!”

Share

We had no doubt the 60mm macro lens was the best of the first three X lenses launched back in January along the X PRO 1. Lenstip published the full review and said: “Out of three lenses, launched along the Fujifilm X-Pro1, the 2.4/60 model has the best pros to cons ratio“.Here is the pro and cosn list:

Pros:

  • solid and high quality casing,
  • very good resolution in the frame centre,
  • good resolution on the edge of the frame,
  • excellent correction of chromatic aberration,
  • slight spherical aberration,
  • good coma correction,
  • negligible astigmatism,
  • moderate vignetting,
  • good transmission.

Cons:

  • noticeable distortion,
  • unreliable autofocus,
  • work against bright light could have been better.
