Fujifilm Manager: XF18mmF1.4 Resolution Beast (Ready for Fujifilm X-H2?), Why No Focus Clutch, Better than XF16/1.4 and More

Share

Fujifilm manager Ueno, who was in charge of the development of the brand new Fujinon XF18mm f/1.4 R LM WR, gave an interview in Japanese, where he talks about the development process of this lens, the difference from existing lenses, and how to use it properly.

Once again the challenge is represented by the automatic google translation tool on youtube. I went through this pain for you guys and you can find the summary down below.

I find it particularly interesting how the managers stressed the fact that one of the main goals of the XF18mmF1.4 focus was “resolution”, hinting that there would be higher megapixel cameras in future.

Now, FujiRumors told you exclusively that the Fujifilm X-H2 will come in 2022. I know, it’s only FujiRumors to tell you this, but it’s 100% accurate, trust me. Fujifilm itself has hinted several times that more megapixel will come in future, and may it have the 43 megapixel Sony sensor or something different, the Fujinon XF18mmf f/1.4 seems to be ready for that kind of resolution.

Another interesting aspect is why Fujifilm did not put the focus clutch on the XF18mm f/1.4 and what makes it better than the Fujinon XF16mmF1.4.

This and more you can find in the summary down below.

UNBELIEVABLE: Fujifilm Launches a New App That Actually Works (for Instax Mini Link for Nintendo Switch)

Share

At first I could not really believe it.

Fujifilm launched a new App for Instax Mini Link to connect with Nintento Switch.

The unbelievable part is this: it works flawlessly. Super easy to connect, fast, intuitive. Wonderful App. The total opposite of the experience we Fujifilm X and GFX series users have when trying to connect our cameras to the Fujifilm camera remote App.

If Fujifilm would put half the effort they put into developing this new Instax App also into redesigning the camera remote App, then I am sure they would drastically improve the experience for us X and GFX shooters.

The only thing that makes me confident: there is somebody at Fujifilm who actually can develop Apps properly. Maybe, one day, Fujifilm will pay him also to develop the new camera remote App.

But until then, the App remains a pain to use, which is reflected in horrible ratings in the App store.

Oh, right, the news. You find the press release and video down below.
