Pixco for Fujifilm X

Pixco is another Chinese brand, which has produced a couple of manual lenses for Fujifilm that have passed unnoticed so far. So high time to report about them here on FujiRumors first (thanks to the FR-reader for the link).

Here are the Fujifilm X-mount lenses and extension tubes they offer:

• Pixco 7.5mm F2.8
• Pixco 60mm F2.8
• Pixco Auto Focus Macro Extension tube

Photons To Photos just published their Read Noise in DNs versus ISO setting measurment of the Fujifilm X-H1.

Almost identical results to the other Fujiiflm X-Trans III cameras. Check them out here.

Bill explains:

“The drop at ISO 800 is where dual conversion gain starts.This is a relatively common technology first proposed by Aptina in their DR-Pix Technology White Paper  and was probably first used in the early Nikon 1 cameras. Dual conversion gain works by lowering Full Well Capacity (FWC) to improve read noise.Bec ause FWC is lower there is a minimum ISO setting at which you can apply the technique.”

Lens roundup

Today’s lens roundup is focused on two third party new entries in the Fujifilm X world, the highly praised Laowa 9mm F2.8 and the brand new Zonlai 22mm F1.8.

Laowa 9mm F2.8: VenusLens (best option for fastest delivery, since they have priority on pre-order shipping), BHphoto, Adorama, AmazonUS

Zonlai 22mm F1.8: AmazonUS

Angle of View Comparison

The image at the top shows the angle of view comparison between the following 4 lenses:

• Laowa 9mm
• Fujinon XF10-24 @ 10mm
• Zeiss Touit 12mm
• Fujinon XF18-55 @ 18mm

1 mm of difference between the 10-24 and 9mm might not seem much on paper, but in your images it can make more differences than you think.

Good Bye Acros

Fujifilm keeps up discontinuing their good old film rolls, and in October 2018 it could be time for the (much loved) Acros 100. At least according to reports at casualphotophile (via petapixel).

Fujifilm usually releases official statements, when they are going to discontinue certain film, but so far nothing appeard at the Fujifilm site.

However, given the trend of the last years, I’d not be surprised if even Acros 100 production will be stopped. Sadly I am afraid that news like these will keep up coming, and more films will have to disappear.

There is one film, though, that seems to florish like never before, Instax.
