Fujifilm has released firmware updates for the Fujifilm X-T4 and Fujifilm X-S10 to add support for the Tascam CA-XLR2d-F XLR as well as new firmware for the X-Pro3, X100V, GFX100S and GFX100.
Down below all the details and download links.
So, it’s 3 AM here in Italy, I am going back to bed now… if my son (who btw shows signs superior intelligence ;)) allows it.
Photons to Photos has published its Fujifilm X-T4 dynamic range measurement data.
The Fujifilm X-T4 basically performs identical to the X-T3. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 seems to be superior, but as Blill Claff from PTP explained to us:
The X-Pro3 appears to have improved PDR but it is an illusion.
It’s well known that Fuji implements the ISO setting in an unusual way.
In this case they have given ISO 320 to ISO 12800 an addition 1 stop boost.Fuji uses a proprietary Exif tag called “Raw Exposure Bias” to indicate how much they have shifted the raw data from “standard”.
Adjusted in Excel for Raw Exposure Bias we see that the X-Pro3 and X-T3 are essentially identical. (They shift to dual conversion gain at a slightly different point).

The Fujifilm X-T4 in silver and combined with the XF18-55mm is now no longer available at Adorama here.
You can still find this combo at BHphoto here and AmazonUS here.
So what is going on?
Well, maybe it is about to suffer the same faith of the silver Fujifilm X-T3, which is no longer produced in silver.
And to be clear: this does not mean that Fujifilm is discontinuing the Fujifilm X-T4 and that a Fujifilm X-T5 is coming in May at the Fujifilm X Summit (I mean, I don’t know if it is coming in May. So far I only hear of the Fujifilm X-H2 coming in May).
So, don’t panic. The Fujifilm X-T4 is still being manufactured. But if you prefer the silver version, maybe it might be a good thing to buy it sooner rather than later. I expect the first silver kit versions to slowly run out of stock and being discontinued in the next few weeks over several stores.
A move that aligns Fujifilm with other brands, who in most cases don’t offer color variations in their mid and higher end camera range.
Meikon is already offering several waterproof cases for Fujifilm X series cameras.
Now they have also launched the Meikon SF-X-T4 waterproof case for Fujifilm X-T4 cameras and it so so far listed at their website here.
As for the Fujifilm X-T4 in particular, there is also the Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Fujifilm X-T4 (as well as other Fujifilm cameras).
As we reported earlier this month, Fujifilm discovered a bug in twelve of their cameras.
Six cameras got a firmware update to fix the bug today, whereas the rest of the cameras will get it later this month.

Fujifilm has released firmware updates for lots of Fujifilm X and GFX series cameras. A highlight is definitely the Blackmagic RAW support for Fujifilm GFX100 and Fujifilm GFX100S.
Down below you’ll find all the details.
2021 was a definitely a GFX year, mainly thanks to the launch of the Fujifilm GFX100S and the Fujifilm GFX50SII. So let’s give this wonderful system a dedicated and major roundup.

I have attached some images taken with the TT Artisan 11mm Fisheye on the GFX100s so that people can see what to expect. Images are reduced to 2048 pixels on the long side for ease of email. (full size can be sent by WeTransfer if required.)
The rest of the Blacksmith in action shots using the 30mm and 45-100 are better looking images, these are to show the different stages of editing you can get with the TT Fisheye. It is a cheap, well built lens that is up there with the top brand names for image quality (but all Manual – no electronics.)

Do you remember when back in 2020 photographers using Fujifilm APS-C cameras took away all the most important World Press Photo Awards?
And this happened, despite talented “internet reviewers” showing us with their stunningly artistic test shots that only full frame can produce professional results.
And honestly, I totally agree for example with Sir. Jared, who delivered this very in depth and elaborated answer to a guy, who wanted to switch to Fujifilm: “Fuji, LOL?”
I mean, how can you argue with that?
And yet, despite all the effort reviewers put into telling us that only full frame can deliver professional results, it keeps happening!!!
It keeps happening that Fujifilm X shooters out there win prestigious photography awards.
In fact, the The Royal Observatory Greenwich assigned the Astronomy Photo Award 2021 to Shuchang Dong, who took this wonderful image with his Fujifilm X-T4 in Tibet during a total solar eclipse in mid-2020. Here is what the Royal Greenwich Observatory had to say about the image:
This image demonstrates both the beauty and simplicity of an eclipse, but also the science behind this astronomical event. Our sun can still be seen as a ring circling the Moon as it passes in front of the Sun, and mountains on the lunar surface can be seen hiding some of this light on the lower righthand portion of the image. This is a stunning achievement!”
For a moment I had a doubt, that maybe it’s more important to spend time to go out and take pictures, trying to be in the right moment at the right spot. But no, definitely not. All that matters is the gear you use ;).
Anyway, if are like Shuchang, if you also do astrophotography with your Fujifilm gear, then check out our astrophotography facebook group.
P.S.: X-Trans cameras are fantastic for Astrophotography ;)
