Fujifilm GFX100 II Coming with Waveforms Monitor and Anamorphic Mode

Share

For the first time ever (and to big joy of Jordan Drake I guess), Fujifilm will offer

  • waveforms monitor
  • anamorphic mode

This much loved videographer features will come to the Fujifilm GFX100 II.

And of course we hope that Fujifilm will also treat current 5th generation gear shooters (X-T5, X-H2, X-H2S, X-S20) with firmware updates that will bring those features also to those cameras.

New Fujifilm XApp Update brings Welcome Improvement

Share

The new Fujifilm XApp just got a software update 1.1.0 and it brings a much welcome improvement: it allows us to use the app with location set to off.

I now have personally set my XApp geolocation tracking permission on the phone to “While Using the App”.

All I have to do now is not to forget to open the App before I starting to shoot ;).

Here are the details of the update:

  • The application is enhanced that the smartphones and cameras are able to communicate via Wi-Fi even if the permission to access “Location” is not set.
  • Application functions that do not require permissions to access can be used even if the permissions to access those functions are not set.
  • The minor bug is fixed that some smartphone models fail to connect to the camera via Wi-Fi in rare cases.

You can download the lastest Fujifilm X App for iOS here and for Android here.

Viltrox Future Fujifilm X Lenses: Zoom Lenses, 20mmF4.5, 135mmF1.8 Lab Series (better than Pro Series)

Share

Richard Wong flew to China to meet up with the Viltrox management.

The first question he makes to marketing director Mandy Lee (which I met back in 2018 at photokina) was if they plan to release fast zoom lenses for the Fujifilm X mount.

The answer was:

We will have zoom lenses, but we are not sure about the focal length yet. But we have zoom lenses in our plans.

What we are sure is that we will have Cine zoom lenses, for example 22-220mm, 30-300mm and 42-420 cine zoom [manual focus] coming at the end of this year maybe.

We have plans for zoom lenses for stills, but those still need some time.

Viltrox mentions also a compact lens, but I am not sure if they mean APS-C or FF lenses. From the talk it seems like an APS-C lens, but Richard wrote “FF” in the video.

  • 20mm f/4.5 autofocus lens (small and affordable pancake lens, about $150 but image quality superior to the 23, 33 and 56mm APS-C series)

When asked if Viltrox plans to launch a competitor to the Fujinon XF200mm f/2, hence a longer prime lens, Viltrox gives us this answer:

  • 135mm f/1.8 Lab Series coming by the end of 2023. Lab Series image quality and performance will be higher than the Pro series

Also in this case, the question is clearly about Fujifilm APS-C lenses, and Mandy Lee answers to that, but when asked later on if that’s for Full Frame, Mandy says “yes”. Then she gets asked if it will come also for Fujifilm X mount, and she just says “Yeah”.

So to me this sounds as if both, the 20mm f/4.5 and 135mm f/1.8 will come for several mounts in APS-C and FF format.
