Fujifilm’s Mission Impossible

If you are one of those, who thinks Fujifilm is not for Pros (APS-C is crap, MF is too slow), then please stop reading now, since I would like you to keep your sweet illusions ;).

Still sticking around? Well, then here is todays’ story.

After we discovered that the official images of Hollywood’s blockbuster “Dunkirk” were taken with the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and Fujinon XF18-135, fellow FR-reader Sam Zhai (instagram @hermeneuticlens) now spotted Fujifilm cameras on set of Mission Impossible – Fallout.

DPReviewTV Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8: “Optically Fantastic, but for Most People the Fujinon XF 10-24mm F4 is a Better Choice”

DRPreview TV reviewed the Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8. Here are their findings:

  • professional line of Fujinon lenses
  • well-built, heavy and expensive
  • well suited for cameras like Fujifilm X-H1
  • manual focus ring feels sloppy
  • no OIS, but it’s typical for lenses in this range. But they miss it anyway, unless used on X-H1 with IBIS
  • XF 10-24 more well suited for lighter bodies and has OIS
  • no filter threads, typical for lenses that wide
  • powerful autofocus motors. Fast and accurate
  • coma very well corrected, excellent for astrophotography and cityscape
  • vignetting and distortion very well corrected
  • sunstars are not bad, but not the best they have seen
  • close focusing is similar to the XF10-24 (9 feet)
  • XF8-16 optically fantastic, very sharp
  • 8mm at f/2.8 a little bit weird in the corners, but stopping down cleans up beautifully
  • wide open it is sharper than the XF10-24, but stopped down difference gets smaller
  • It’s admirable that Fujifilm gives us lenses that give us full frame equivalent look, like the Sony 12-24mm f/4 G
  • the Sony 12-24 is lighter and $300 cheaper
  • if you want FF look in APS-C, you are not going to save money
  • for most people, the XF 10-24mm F4 is a better choice, since landscape you stop down anyway
  • XF 8-16mm F2.8 is a niche lens

The Fujifilm X-T3, camera of the year 2018 according to DPReivew TV , Tony Northrup, ephotozine, photographyblog, Matt Granger, imaging-resource, Cinema5D and a lot more popular blogs and youtube channels, certainly deserves his own space in our roundups.

Fujinon XF 10-24mmF4 vs XF 8-16mmF2.8 (rated F2.8 but more Likely T3.5), XF35/1.4 vs XF35/2 – Fujinon XF Lens Review Roundup

Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 Reviews

Michael de Maven reviews the Fujinon XF 8-16 f2.8 and compares it to the Fujifilm XF10-24 f4. Is the Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 worth $2k? Are you better off getting the Fujinon XF10-24mm f/4? Here are his key points:

  • XF 8-16 has lots of lens elements, so lots of engineering went into this
  • 10-24 is half the weight of 8-16
  • 8-16 is front heavy
  • 8-16 better build quality
  • wide open the 10-24 at f/4 slightly sharper in corners than 8-16 at f/2.8. Same at telephoto end
  • at 10mm both at f/5.6 they are close
  • at widest focal length and widest aperture, the 8-16 has a clear advantage in the peripheral center
  • stopped down at f/8, the 8-16 has a big sharpness advantage in peripheral center
  • both lenses very good with chromatic aberration and minimal sun flare in both
  • he talks about F-stop and T-stop. F-stops does not tell us how much light really hits the sensor. The amount of light that really comes through the lens on the sensor is T-stop.
  • with exactly the same exposure settings, the XF8-16mmF2.8 delivers slightly darker results than the XF10-24
  • the XF8-16 is rated f/2.8 but according to his testings it’s probably about a T3.5 lens
  • he ends up recommending the currently $250 discounted XF10-24mmF4 to most people
  • he recommeds the currently $500 disocunted XF8-16mmF2.8 to professional wedding photographers, astro photographers, for architecture (it’s wider) and for landscapes (it’s weather sealed and sharper at f/8, so better for large prints)

Fujifilm 2019 Camera and Lens Release Timeline (and a bit of 2020)

Fujifilm 2019 Timeline

It’s time to put some order in the myriad of rumors, and give you guys a timeline of the Fujifilm products that will come in 2019, as well as give a quick glance at 2020.

This is just an approximate timeline, that I will update as soon as I get new information.

January/April 2019

  • Fujifilm X-T30*
  • Fujinon XF16mm f/2.8 R WR*
  • Fujinon GF 100-200mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR*

  • Fujinon GFX100*
  • Fujinon XF16-80mm  f/4 R LM OIS WR**
  • Fujinon GF 50mm f/3.5 LM WR***

* based on our rumors
** our sources say XF 16-80 will not come in early 2019
*** just an educated guess by FujiRumors, but it could make sense to announce it along with Fujifilm GFX100

September/December 2019

  • Fujifilm X-Pro3*
  • Fujifilm X100F Successor*

* based on reports at techardar. I place them in the second half of 2019, because I do not think their release is imminent (if techradar is right about 2019 release)

Top Possible Bonus Gear in 2019/2020

  • Fujinon GF 80mm f/1.4 R LM WR*
  • Fujifilm X80**

  • Fujinon XF33mm f/1.0 R LM WR**
  • Fujinon GF 45-100mm f/4 R LM OIS WR**

* our sources say it will not be released in 2019, hence must be sometimes in 2020, since I don’t think Fuji will wait until 2021
** based on official Fujifilm roadmap
