Fujifilm X-T4 IBIS Stress Tests vs X-H1, Panasonic S1H, OIS only vs IBIS only and More

Andrew comprehensively tested the IBIS on the Fujifilm X-T4. It’s a 30 minutes video.

Just so you know, when below we talk about “scientific test”, it means Andrew placed the cameras on a massage gun. That way, he was able to induce the same amount of vibration to all the cameras he tested.

Down below you will find the video and the summary in a nuthsell, for those who can’t watch the full video right now.

Fujfilm X-T4 Kits Now In Stock… and Finally I made My First Dolomites Hike with my X-T4

It was a long wait, but finally also various Fujifilm X-T4 kits are now in stock.

You can get the kit with the Fujinon XF16-80mm f/4 or the kit with the XF18-55mm f/2.8-4.

Btw, after a long online teaching marathon, that kept me locked down even after the COVID-19 lockdown was lifted, recently I finally had some time to get out and hike a bit on my beloved Dolomites again, which I had not photographed since last autumn, as you can see here.

And if until now I used my X-T4 only for video (and used Final Cut Pro to edit them), I finally can open up Capture One 20 again, and edit the X-T4 RAW files.

But I wonder…

… sure, I will use my X-T4 for the next weeks, as it’s new and shiny. But will my super-small X-E3 claim back it’s top spot in my camera bag, or will I just end up buying a bigger bag? I don’t know the answer yet.

Opticallimits Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 AF Review: “A Serious Alternative to the Aging Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R”

Opticallimits (former photozone) published its Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 Fujifilm X mount lens review.

From their conclusions:

[…] the verdict has to be about context. And the context is that this is about a $280 lens costing less than half of the Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R and this Fujinon is far from being flawless.

The Viltrox lens actually shares many characteristics with this lens. In terms of resolution, it is quite sharp in the image center at f/1.4 and f/2 whereas the outer image field is soft. Stopping down results in a gradual increase in quality reaching its peak at f/5.6. Images are sharp across the board at this setting although there’s still some room for improvement here.

Lateral CAs are low and nothing to worry about.

If you are into architecture photography, you may spot a tad of pincushion distortion.

There is also some vignetting when shooting at f/1.4 but it’s not out of the ordinary really.

[…] A positive aspect is the quality of the bokeh. It deteriorates somewhat in the far corners but generally, it is pleasing. This is especially true for the out-of-focus highlights.

[…] mechanical quality is surprisingly high.

[…] The AF is both speedy and noiseless – something that can’t be said about the Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R actually.

[…] Overall, it may not the last word in terms of sharpness at large apertures but the Viltrox AF 33mm f/1.4 XF is a killer offering in terms of value and a serious alternative to the aging Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R.
