Fuji Guys - Fujifilm XF35mmF2 R WR - Sendai Factory Tour

It seems it will by a MF system with interchangeable lenses: http://www.fujirumors.com/fujfilm-medium-format-rumor-here-is-the-answer-to-one-of-the-7-crucial-mf-questions-source-right-in-the-past/ Grain of salt still mandatory though, at least until we finally have a confirmation from trusted source

It's correct. Objectivity is a myth. You always filter reality thourgh your eyes/senses/feelings/ideas/etc... But Journalist, and especially photojournalist, have the responsiblity to tell/show us the world. And they also have an incredible power to create a "public opinion" through their work. And therefore, maybe, it could be useful to put some limits, or rules. These limits/rules might never make a photographer/journalist objective, but they might help to contain his own vision, at least in part. That said, there will never be something like "objectivity". Objectivity is a term, which we can only approach to, but never get to. And now back to Reuters: it happened several times in the past, that due to heavy use of photoshop, Reuters got in trouble. for esample 2006, the bombs-smoke over Beirut (after bloggers discovered the photoshopped image, the Reuters photographer had been fired) Other informatinos channels also got problems due to heavy use of photoshop, see the war in Syria off 2012, Syria (when Assad was still our enemy) It's about credibility.... adding sharpness and vignetting is ok, but heavily manipulate images via photoshop.... you can't do that for journalistic work

I've seen some PhotoShop tutorials... I saw, how a relative banal image is turned into an spectacular one, just thanks to terrific PS skills of the photographer. When I saw what they did, I almost thought that PhotoShop is actually more important than taking the picture. I can tell you, if my local used-car dealer would manipulate his cars the same way as some photographer manipulate their images, he'd land straight in jail! :-) Now, I believe it's perfectly fine to stay hours on PS and do with an image whatever you can do. I've nothing against things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U but when it comes to photojournalistic activities, maybe the JPEG limitation is not that bad. Images have to be as realitstic as possible and represent the moment, and not the PS skills of the photograher. And when you shoot RAW, and you're a good with PS, then the "temptaions" to manipulate too much is big.

Ok... let's say it in the words of the greatest author of all times, Thomas Bernhard: Every photograph—whoever took it, whoever is pictured in it—is a gross violation of human dignity, a monstrous falsification of nature, a base insult to humanity. […] Photography is the greatest mockery in the world, the ultimate mockery of the world So, photography is not something "objective". And especially when you shoot RAW (ergo: use photoshop), you can make a "mockery" out of every picture. This is not necessarily a bad thing, since "everything outside is illuminated from a light that comes from inside" (J.S.Foer), so I can manipulate the pictures, to acutally get closer to what my feelings and perception was in that moment (an impressionistic approach). Therefore I don't think that there is anything bad in post-process images. However, Reuters does not have to show how world is perceived, but how the world is... so JPEG only sounds like a good thing to me. (P.S.: never drink two glasses of white wine before lunch, or you'll start talk weired things )

X-T10 + 18-55 is a great combo. Best kit lens ever . And if you need it wider than 18mm, but don't want to spend too much, you can add the 12mm Samyang in your cart.

The nocturnus indeed changed design. But it's basically still unavailable. I've used slidoo to quickly search ebay worldwide, and here is the result: https://www.slidoo.com/slider/search/keyword/Nocturnus%20Fuji/country/US/minPrice/0/maxPrice/42500/locationId/2/auctionMethodId/2/conditionId/2/ So I agree, it's better to keep it unreleased for now.
