Custom New Fujinon XF27mm f/2.8 Look, Fujinon Zoom Lenses Showdown & More XF Lens Roundup

Fellow FR-reader yukosteel wrote me this:

Here’s one more proof that one of your favorite Fujinon lens is really indestructible : )

It took years since you posted my effort on XF 27mm disassembly (thanks again), that leaded to lots of interesting conversations with other people and more mechanical discovery.

Today I finished one more manual focus mod of XF 27mm with broken electronics.

Fujifilm X-T4 IBIS Stress Tests vs X-H1, Panasonic S1H, OIS only vs IBIS only and More

Andrew comprehensively tested the IBIS on the Fujifilm X-T4. It’s a 30 minutes video.

Just so you know, when below we talk about “scientific test”, it means Andrew placed the cameras on a massage gun. That way, he was able to induce the same amount of vibration to all the cameras he tested.

Down below you will find the video and the summary in a nuthsell, for those who can’t watch the full video right now.

Fujfilm X-T4 Kits Now In Stock… and Finally I made My First Dolomites Hike with my X-T4

It was a long wait, but finally also various Fujifilm X-T4 kits are now in stock.

You can get the kit with the Fujinon XF16-80mm f/4 or the kit with the XF18-55mm f/2.8-4.

Btw, after a long online teaching marathon, that kept me locked down even after the COVID-19 lockdown was lifted, recently I finally had some time to get out and hike a bit on my beloved Dolomites again, which I had not photographed since last autumn, as you can see here.

And if until now I used my X-T4 only for video (and used Final Cut Pro to edit them), I finally can open up Capture One 20 again, and edit the X-T4 RAW files.

But I wonder…

… sure, I will use my X-T4 for the next weeks, as it’s new and shiny. But will my super-small X-E3 claim back it’s top spot in my camera bag, or will I just end up buying a bigger bag? I don’t know the answer yet.

RUMOR: Fujifilm Working on Fujinon XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6

Hey there,

If you follow FujiRumors regularly, you will know about the rumor we shared back in March, saying that Fujifilm is working on a Fujinon XF70-300mm lens.

Many of you asked me which aperture range it will have.

Well, today I can finally disclose it.

Fujifilm will release a Fujinon XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens.

Now, not sure if you remember, but over 1 year ago here, Fujifilm publicy asked the Fujifilm community, which lenses they should make next.

Among the options they offered us to vote, there was a Fujinon XF80-300mm f/4.5-5.6.

Personally I am very happy to see them going for lens slightly wider (70mm instead of 80mm) and faster (f4 instead of f4.5). I prefer it even more than a constant f/4 lens, as that one would be bigger, heavier and more expensive.

I hope Fujifilm will be able to keep it rather compact, like the Sigma 100-400mm.

But I’d love to hear what you guys think, so you can vote the survey down below.

I think this super-telephoto lens fits perfectly in the lens lineup, as a natural follow up the XF16-80mm f/4.

Fujifilm USA Manager: “Fujifilm X-T4: Lots of Pre-Orders and Available Mid-May”

Fujifilm USA manager Michael Bulbenko made a 10 minutes video on Instagram introducing the Fujifilm X-T4.

Just as the top Manager Toshi Iida said a few days ago in this must see interview, also Michael confirms the strong pre-orders for the Fujifilm X-T4.

But strong pre-orders in times of Coronavirus COVID-19 also introduce shipping difficulties.

Regarding the shipping, I must say I am confused. Let’s sum up the different official statements we got so far in chronological order.

  • March 26: Fujifilm Japan issues a press release, saying that the black X-T4 will ship as expected in late April, but the silver one has been postponed to late May
  • April 2: Fujifilm UK manager says that both colors, silver and black will ship in late April, but body only version. The kit versions will follow “weeks later”
  • April 9: Fujifilm USA manager says that nothing will ship in April, and all will ship in the 2nd or 3rd week of May

Maybe every country will get a different shipping time? That would be unusual for Fujifilm, but in these days everything is unusual.

If we look at stores, BHphoto marks it as available April 30, while Adorama expects it on May 4.

You can see the Manager video and a summary down below.
