Note the X-T3 thumbrest will not fit the X-T2, see our other listing on Amazon. No-compromise design specifically for the Fujifilm X-T3 with ideal length and curve geometry
Makes one-handed operation easier and retains access to all controls while preventing unintentional button presses
Integrated silicone insert provides thumb grip and bumper between camera body and thumb grip
Hidden silicone insert in hot shoe tab provides resistance to unintentional ejection
Since the X-T3 has a threaded shutter release all our custom soft release buttons will fit. See our other listings
Lensmate says they are still working with their Anodizer on a Silver X-T3 Thumbrest, because the Fujifilm X-T3 Silver topped camera is slightly darker than, say the X100F, it is challenging to get a satisfactory finish.
Fujifilm uploaded a few more Fujifilm X photographer live stages from Photokina 2018. This time we have Jonas Rask, Elias Locardi and more.
And speaking of Jonas…
Jonas Rask has published a 5 part blog post series, that he has made from his 6 day trip to Japan back in October. He used so many different Fujifilm cameras, so it’s basically a showcase of what these cameras could do on a trip like this.
Time for a major miXed zone, this time focused on all kind of Fujifilm cameras, except for the brand new Fujifilm X-T3, Fujifilm GFX50S and Fuji GFX50R and Fuji X100F.
But before we move on, remember to feed your Fuji addiction on our social media:
The Fujifilm GFX 50R has yet to ship, so there is not much to find on the web at the moment. However, some lucky photographers are already enjoying to shoot with it, and here is the latest roundup.
William Chua took the Fujifilm GFX 50R out for some street photography in Cologne. You can read the full blog post and see the samples at williamchua.com. Some excerpts:
Being a GFX 50s user, he was not too excited about this camera. But after using it for a few days, he has to say he loves it more and more
Its a great camera for street photography
might not be as comfortable to use with big glass like the GF 250mm
in a lot of his sample images, he used face detection, and he’s glad to say it works extremely well
Jonas Rask shares his impressions of the Photokina 2018 in the best way possible: by sharing wonderful images taken with Fujifilm GFX 50R and X100F. Check out his article “When the floor dust settles” at jonasrask here.
Kai Wong was at photokina and shares his walkthrough the various booths. Of course he also checked out the Fujifilm GFX 50R. Jump to minute 5:43 here, to check out the part about Fujifilm.
MediumFormat: First Impressions of the Fujifilm GFX 50R at mediumformat
PhoBlographer writes in his Fujifilm GFX 50R first impressions that the Fujifilm GFX 50R is the camera he’s been waiting for. They would like a 50MP X-Trans version and pay even more for it, and faster glass (such as the rumored GF 80mm F1.4) would also be appreciated. Read it all at phoblographer here.
Spanish: The Spanish site albedomedia (translation) goes hands on with the Fujifilm GFX 50R. They share their impressions as well as some media slides including an overview of Fujifilm’s camera history, which you can see below.
Fujifilm GFX 100 MP X-Trans
ThePhoblographer had a talk with Fujifilm USA manager Justin Stailey, mainly about the Fujifilm GFX 50R, but there was also a question about the Fujfiilm GFX 100.
Phoblographer: Why isn’t the GFX 100MP sensor an X Trans sensor? Justin: I don’t think we said that it was or was not X-Trans. but…In Medium Format, the Bayer Sensor has proven to provide excellent image quality
So, despite hinting that a Bayer sensor is more likely than an X-Trans sensor, Fuji Manager Justin did not exclude the possibility it could be a 100 Megapixel X-Trans sensor. Read the whole interview at phoblographer.
I am not that kind of guy, who breaks into a place bypassing security checks…
I broke into photokina bypassing security checks 1 day ahead of the official opening, because I could not wait to deliver you the first images side by side of the XF33mmF1.0, XF16-80mmF4 and XF16mmF2.9 and first hands on video of the Fujifilm GFX 50R.
But let’s talk about it later and start with the Fujifilm managers.
They now support all Fujifilm cameras, the will add film simulation support and tethering for GFX 50S, X-H1, X-T3, X-T2, X-T1, X-Pro2 and they also launched a special Fujifilm version.
I am probably one of the few people out there, who has owned them all: X-Trans 1 (stolen in Greece), X-Trans 2 (destroyed in a river) and X-Trans 3 (because it’s too sexy). And with every generation, the speed improvement of my Fujifilm cameras was noticable.
The new X-Trans 4 and X Processor 4 in the Fujifilm X-T3 raises the bar even further.
A media slide shared by the Spanish site Fujistas (translation) shows how much faster the new sensor and processor on the Fujifilm X-T3 are compared to its predecessors.
The new BSI sensor improves sensor readout, and the X Processor 4 is a massive improvement compared to everything else Fujifilm had in the past.
As you know, Fujifilm has launched a dedicated Fujifilm Photokina microsite, where you can check out all the events planed for photokina.
Now they also published an official press release with all the details.
Well, actually not really all the details, since they don’t tell you that they will display also the Fujifilm GFX 50R, which will be announced on September 25 at 07:30 AM New York time :).
Back in July, we reported that Elinchrom announced Skyport Pro support for Fujifilm coming in September 2018.
And just two weeks ago, we leaked the first images of a working prototype of the Fujifilm compatible Elinchrom Trigger (and the source also unveiled to us the reason why we Fujifilm X shooters had to wait so long for Elinchrom support).
But we are getting closer now, and on August 14, Elinchrom also updated their support page and shared more details about which Fujifilm cameras will be supported:
