2017: the Year of Smart Adapters

2017 will be remembered not only as the year, when Fujifilm finally got massive flash support from third party manufacturers, but also the year of smart adapters for Fujifilm GFX 50S and also Fujifilm X series cameras.

Regarding smart adapters, here is a little overview of available or soon to come adapters.

Fringer EF-FX Smart Adapter

Fringer just uploaded this video demonstrating the use of the electronic aperture ring on ther Canon EF to Fuji FX smart adapter.

We already reported about Fringers EF-FX smart adapter in the past and we had several videos shared on FR showing for example the AF-C with the Sigma 30/1.4 (see video here), and also the Sigma 18-35mmF1.8 on Fujifilm X-T2 PDAF demo video here.

Just search for “Fringer” on FujiRumors, to see all Fringer related content.

Here is what they write regarding the electronic aperture ring:

Kaizen X-Pro2 Firmware

Ho, ho, ho… :)

Fujifilm just released a new Firmware update for the Fujifilm X-Pro2 (ver.4.00), and it’s well worth to be called a “Kaizen” update.

It adds several features to the X-Pro2, such as 4K video, new AF-tracking, tethered shooting, highglight blinkies, RGB histogram & more. Quite a step up for the 2 years old X-Pro2… and of course it comes for free for all X-Pro2 owners.

And don’t forget to join our Fujifilm X-Pro facebook group ;)

Fujifilm X-T20 Will Get Extensive Firmware Update Early 2018 – Fujifilm Germany

Share

There Will Be Kaizen… for X-T20

*** NEW FIRMWARE TODAY ***
for X-T1, X100F and X-T20.
All details here

Fujifilm just ended 2017 with a bunch of firmware updates, some definitely worth to be called Kaizen, like the one for the X-T2 last month and the upcoming X-Pro2 firmware.

However, X-T20 owners were not so lucky, and basically could enjoy just the new EVF/Touch screen feature. Hence, all X-T20 were disappointed not to get the faster AF-tracking, the highlight blinkies, the RGB histogram and more.

But there is hope :)

Fujifilm Germany said in the comments (back on December 1) to one of their facebook posts (google translated):

“The x-T20 will get this feature [X RAW Studio support] with an extensive firmware update. The update is expected to be available early / spring 2018. Unfortunately, implementation is not possible for all models at the same time.”

If Fujifilm Germany has correct information, then it is just a matter of time, and also Fujifilm X-T20 owners will get their Kaizen Love. And considering how successful the X-T20 line is, the “extensive X-T20 firmware update” in early 2018 will make many photographers happy.

Thanks to the FR-reader, who just dropped me this link. As you can see, it seems a news only exists once it is on FujiRumors. So even though the comment is old, there were no reports about it on the web.

However, what I don’t see, you see it. Thanks a TON for your support. It means everything to me. Feel free to keep up sharing :)
