So What, Did FujiRumors Fall in Love with Fully Articulating Screens? Would a Fujifilm X-T5 with Selfie Screen be a Dealbreaker for You? POLL

3 Times I Loved the Selfie Screen

I lately shared a couple of posts on my Instagram page, showing images of myself making good use of the Selfie Screen on my Fujifilm X-T4.

So what, did I join the “dark side” and fell in love with fully articulating screens as some have suggested?

Well, not really.

The whole point of these posts was just to show that, in rare cases, a fully articulating screen really simplifies the composition of an image.

So here are 3 times I loved the fully articulating screen on my X-T4 as it allowed me to take a picture that would have been much more complicated and cumbersome to take with any other screen.

Fujifilm has already announced two tilt-shift lenses for 2023, the Fujinon GF110mmF5.6 Tilt Shift Macro  and the Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 Tilt Shift. In fact, B&H Photo has them already listed at their website:

New Images of Fujinon GF30mm f/5.6 Tilt Shift and GF110mm f/5.6 Tilt Shift Macro

At the very end of the last Fujifilm X Summit, there was that “one more thing” moment, and this time Fujifilm decided to show us mockups of the Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 Tilt shift lens and Fujinon GF110mmF5.6 Tilt Shift Macro lens.

We reported about it here already.

One might remember that already back in September 2021 Fujifilm showed us the mock up of one of those lenses, but at that time it was still an f/4 lens, the Fujinon GF30mmF4 tilt shift.

That mockup showed a was rather hefty lens, so I guess that in order to save size and weight (and to make it more affordable), Fujinon redesigned it to be an f/5.6 lens.

A good decision in my eyes, as the new hands on images that now appeared (see them below) over at digitalcameraworld, show a definitely smaller lens.

The Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 T/S lens will appeal particularly to architecture and inferior design photographers whereas the GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro to food and product photographers.
