    Fuji Fuji X100VI coming Feb 20th

    My go to camera store in Berlin seems to be out of stock already, the pre-orders were expected to be delivered this week and both color variants are now listed as "expecting new stock soon". I sort of agree to some comments regarding upgrading from V to VI - if you don't really need the IBIS...

    Fuji Voigtlander 18mm 2.8 announced

    It seems to be a nice addition to the 27mm lens they already released. While the launch of the X-Pro4 didn't happen and who knows when it will happen, the new Voigtländer pancake lens is already available, here in Germany it is a tad more expensive than the 27mm sibling at EUR 599,- (compared to...

    Fuji Fuji X100VI coming Feb 20th

    I actually stayed away from pretty much all photography related news and happenings since the new year began. Now I just noticed via Youtube the new X100 has just been announced. I think it looks like a good successor to the previous X100V. Fujifilm included IBIS, which I think was among the...

    Fuji Two new Voigtländer lenses for X-Mount

    The lens arrived yesterday in the late afternoon. Nicely packaged, it has a certain heft to it and feels heavier than the size might suggest, just like the 23mm sibling. However that shouldn't come as a surprise, since it's rated at 290g by Voigtländer. It sports a similar design language as the...

    Fuji Two new Voigtländer lenses for X-Mount

    Thanks for the link Craig, I actually missed that one on Fred Miranda. The linked images are looking very promising, they seem to back up the comments on the German Fujifilm forums regarding the image quality and lens' character. On a slightly different topic: The 35mm f0.9 also seems to have...

    Fuji Two new Voigtländer lenses for X-Mount

    I actually noticed the lens has already been available around here since about three weeks. Which is kind of baffling because you essentially can't find any samples, reviews or at least some hands-on reports. Even on DPR I didn't really find anything, although there always have been some fans of...

    Fuji Two new Voigtländer lenses for X-Mount

    The Nokton 50mm f1.2 just started hitting the shelves of a number of German camera stores a few days ago, it is priced somewhat higher than the previous lenses at EUR 749. Unfortunately no store in the Berlin region seems to have gotten any stock yet (or it is already sold), otherwise I might've...

    Fuji Fun with Film Simulation 'Recipes'

    A hot summer day, sun was shining with cloudless blue sky when I entered the cinema to watch Oppenheimer. More than three hours later I was greeted with heavy clouds and light rain.

    Fuji Two new Voigtländer lenses for X-Mount

    That 50mm Nokton looks pretty interesting, if it is wihtin the same price range as the other f1.2 Noktons, I might even consider buying it at some point.

    Fuji Voigtlander NOKTON 35mm f/0.9

    I think that's one of the reasons why the reactions so far were fairly... quiet. To be honest I almost forgot about this lens until very recently and just checked it is indeed available in Germany, for a whopping EUR 1749,-. Just to get some reference, the Voigtländer 35 f1.2 is EUR 649, the...

    Fuji Favorite Fuji X 1C1L walkabout?

    I'd vote for the X100V but I sold that one and it's not an ILC. Follow up would be my X-Pro3 with the 23mm f2 for a weather resistent all-purpose setup, which isn't too heavy nor too bulky. Since the question is in regards to all existing, even though not necessarily owned gear, I might be...

    Fuji Two new Voigtländer lenses for X-Mount

    The 27mm Nokton lens started hitting the shelves here in Germany, it seems like it's already available in Asian countries since two or three weeks. You can find some videos on Youtube showing some samples as well as some hands-on reports like this one: Fred Miranda has posted a review as well...

    Fuji X-Pro3 first impressions

    With the X-Pro3 being discontinued and new cameras mostly out of stock, the prices for used X-Pro3 seem to have skyrocketed. Today I checked MPB for some filters and lenses, but I couldn't help myself to also check their Fujifilm listings. A regular "Black" XP3 actually sells for more than what...

    Fuji Fuji "major" firmware updates...

    Ad, I think in your case the problem might be more related to AF-C? Have you tried the same using AF-S? I am surprised the X100V is affected by this, since the lens is everything but ultra-wide angle at 23mm and I haven't noticed that behaviour on my X100V for the ~18 months I owned it. Having...

    Fuji X100V annoyances

    Simply pre-ordering seems to be the only approach as of now. In an interview with DP Review a number of weeks ago, Fujifilm stated they already increased production volume of X100V but they still can't keep up with the demand. The few times I've read about people who bought a new one, those also...

    Fuji Fuji "major" firmware updates...

    My X-Pro3 just crashed completely after taking a picture, the LED kept flashing and I had to remove the battery completely in order to get it working again. The image by the way has been saved on the SD card. Could just be a random coincidence or maybe related to the firmware update.

    Fuji Fuji release new app finally

    Good they are sorting this out - at least that's what I'm hoping. I didn't like I was forced to fully enable location settings just being able to use the app - it should've been an optional setting for people who actually want to use the geo location setting.

    Interesting, it seems to have been pulled indeed, at least I also can't find it anymore on the Google Play Store. Does anybody know the reason?

    Fuji X-S20 and XF 8mm f/3.5 announced

    I agree with Darmok, since it's also using X-Trans IV, you won't get any actual, real improvement in terms of image quality. The new processing engine is what might make a difference, in combination with the new battery you should be getting a significant upgrade in terms of battery life...

    Fuji X-S20 and XF 8mm f/3.5 announced

    It doesn't seem to be the case: If you take a look at the technical specifications, you'll only find numbers for mechanical and electronic shutters, on other cameras which actually feature EFC, Fujifilm stated dedicated numbers for EFC. Another interesting thing: The X-S20 features the...

    Fuji Two new Voigtländer lenses for X-Mount

    As said earlier, I am not sure as of why the X-Pro2 isn't really supported. Maybe you could contact Voigtländer / Cosina about it, but I guess if it would be a simple task, they would've included the XP2 already, since it's kind of a no-brainer to especially include this camera for their MF...

    Fuji Fuji release new app finally

    So I just updated the firmware of my XP3, pairing the camera to my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy Fold 4) worked not only absolutely flawless but was also very fast. I only did some quick test shots using the remote function, which again worked essentially without delay. There are some sad news...

    Fuji Waiting (im)patiently for the 8mm f/3.5 announcement

    The price has been also a let down for me. Since the lens looked to fit quite well into their "Fujicron" line of lenses, I was expecting a retail price of somewhere between EUR 400 and EUR 500. Inflation be damned let it even be EUR 550 or something. However the European price is set to not less...

    Fuji Fuji release new app finally

    Just a heads up: I haven't tried it myself, but it seems that cameras need a firmware update in order to work with the new app. It also seems like only X-Trans IV (and the two newest GFX) cameras got an update: https://fujifilm-x.com/global/support/download/firmware/cameras/

    Fuji Fuji "major" firmware updates...

    Thanks for bringing this up, personally I wouldn't have checked for a new firmware. While it doesn't really offer any real improvements for the X-Pro3, it is indeed required to work with the new app.

    Fuji X-S20 and XF 8mm f/3.5 announced

    I will try the app for sure, the old one was fairly lackluster to say the very least. Of course I am also very interested in the lens since it was first mentioned, however it is much more expensive than I would've liked - I actually thought it would be somewhere around 450 to 500 USD. With the...

    Fuji Fun with Film Simulation 'Recipes'

    Classic Negative seems to be quite polarizing, some people hate it, most people seem to love it - but it seems there isn't something inbetween. My own "everyday" Classic Neg recipes would be Superia Xtra 400 and maybe Nomadic Mood - but that one can be a bit more tricky than the Xtra 400. It's...

    Fuji Your Fuji photo editor of choice?

    I am using DXO PhotoLab, version 5 to be exact. This software has been my go-to image processing software since I switched to Micro Four Thirds and upgraded to V5 right away when DXO finally announced X-Trans support with that version. For my very basic style of processing, it is more than...

    Fuji Two new Voigtländer lenses for X-Mount

    I also don't know exactly why the X-Pro2 isn't supported, their whole X-Mount line-up would go really well with that camera. From what I've heard, Fujifilm made some changes with their communication protocolls between the X-Pro2 and X-T2, which causes issues. But it's still odd, since...

    If somebody is still in the market for a new X-Pro3, it seems like you might need to hurry up: First reported in late December '22, some stored started listing that camera as being discontinued, now US camera specialist B&H also list that one as being discountinued. I checked my go-to camera...

    Fuji Fun with Film Simulation 'Recipes'

    I think you should essentially get 1:1 sooc JPG files out of the X-RAW Studio software: It fully uses the camera to do all the processing, which is the primary reason why it actually needs to be connected in order to get the software working. It also is one of the reasons why X-RAW Studio is...

    Fuji The Fujifilm X series image thread.

    Hi Jason, for me the hybrid viewfinder was one of the major selling points for Fujifilm, especially the X-Pro series. While I use the EVF essentially 95% of the time, I still like being easily able to flick over to the OVF. Sometimes it can be very handy to view outside the frame, other times I...

    Fuji Two new Voigtländer lenses for X-Mount

    I still haven't gotten the Nokton 23mm f1.2 I have been eyeing ever since it got released. Personally I am not too interested in the new 35 f0.9 due to the weight, but I am sure it will be an interesting lens. So far all of the Voigtländer X-Mount lenses have a great reputation, even though most...

    I just recently discovered the recipe collection of Ivan Cheam, while those are for X-Trans IV (mostly for the very latest ones: X-S10, X-E4, X-T4 and X-T30 II), these can also be used for X-Trans V and with some limitations on earlier X-Trans IV bodies...

    Fuji Two new Voigtländer lenses for X-Mount

    Cosina has announced two new lenses designed for Fujifilms X-Mount under their Voigtländer brand in order to extent the already existing trio. First there is another 50'ish equiv. lens with the Nokton 35mm f0.9 lens. It is quite a bit bulkier and heavier than the 35mm f1.2 weighting 492gr...

    Fuji Fuji X-T5 Announced

    Fujifilm has released a list of lenses which are "required" to make the most of the new high-resolution sensor, pretty much the only lenses not on that list are the initial launched lenses back when the X-System hit the market or some kit zooms. On the other hand, the topic was briefly brought...

    Fuji Fuji X-T5 Announced

    I am not in the market for a new camera, but I have to say the X-T5 looks very interesting indeed and in my opinion Fujifilm has done a nice job to differentiate this new model from the X-H2 flagships. In terms of pricing, at least here in Germany, it sits right inbetween the existing X-T4 (~EUR...

    Fuji We’ll, that escalated quickly

    I am honestly a bit surprised by these news, on the other hand Fujifilm seems to have been hit a bit harder from the supply shortages when compared to some other companies.

    So far I have heard almost nothing but positive reactions about the autofocus of the new X-H2S, especially when it comes to C-AF with the new subject tracking modes. However I am wondering if you *really* need this kind of AF. Since you said you are doing mostly macro work and some street...
