  1. Rico just posted his X-T10 AF Tracking Samples on Flickr. The samples are taken wide open (F2.8) with the XF 50-140 zoomed out all the way at 140mm. Link here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/25805910@N05/4n8q2M
  2. According to the Spanish site Fujistas, the latest Android Lollipop ver. 5.1 fixes the connectivity problems with Fujfilm Apps.
  3. Hi Julius, habe die Ehre ... and welcome to the Forum
  4. When the Zeiss Touit lenses for Fuji X were launched back in spring 2013, the Fujinon lens choice was still very limited. X-shooters needed more lens options, and the new X-mount Zeiss glass could have been a great addition… however, there was one major deal-breaker: Read more on FujiRumors: http://www.fujirumors.com/game-over-for-the-zeiss-touit-lenses-no-more-touits-this-year-and-maybe-not-even-in-2016/
  5. What a nice thread idea... we are often used to criticize Fuji on many different aspects. We need a new firmware, we desire more (or less) megapixel, we want more (or less) dials, we miss this (or that) lens, we pretend smaller (or bigger) cameras. But we often miss the wood for the trees... and overall the system is just amazing, and just fun. A few years ago, I was walking, alone, along the lonely northern cost of Bulgaria, sleeping in my tent or in caves. I had a heavy DSLR's system with me, and after days of walk under the sun I understood: I need it smaller & lighter. Luckily the CSC system just hit the market, and I immediatly switched to it. Olympus, then Panasonic, flirted with Sony, but in the end I stumbled on the Fuji X System, loved it, and opened FujiRumors. What a relief... what a fun. And I discovered not to be alone. In fact, back in 2013 I wrote my "Thank You" to Fujifilm on FR here, also based on all the emails I received from FR-readers. "Whoever enters the X-world seems to be happy with this decision. Wow, quality, passion, freedom, fun, inspiration, lightness… this, and much more, is what I read in your emails to me. If I should judge from your words, your emails, all your switch stories, well, I’d say that the X-virus can’t be stopped. But Fujirumors may not be the best place to judge the success or not of the X-series. It’s just, I feel it in all your emails… it’s the excitement of (re)discovering photography, the fun to be creative with your camera… it’s the technology that meets our passion by combining vintage design and manual controls with top-notch digital image quality, it’s the dedication of Fujifilm to its customers. Yes, we are (still) a small niche, but a pretty happy one :)" So I join now and say "Thank You" to Fuji. I know we X-shooters have high expectations and that we can sometimes complaint about details. I love it how you listen to it and take it seriously. But overall we are X-shooters because you brought back fun into our photography again cheers, Patrick... a very happy X-T1 owner
  6. In today's miXed zone, you can find a link to fuji-xperience. They put their hands on mock-ups of the 100-400, 120mmF2.8 and 35mmF2. More here: http://www.fujirumors.com/mixed-zone-x-trans-rocks-10-400-35mmf2-120mmf2-8-pictures-and-impressions-travel-x-and-more/
  7. The Firmware rumors shared in the past seem to be right X-E2 FW still half a year away and X-T1 FW coming on June 22 And we also have the final evidence: Fujifilm reads Fujirumors every day... and they like our polls all the details here: http://www.fujirumors.com/i-have-the-proof-fujifilm-reads-fujirumors-every-day-and-confirms-x-e2-fw-in-octnov-x-t1-4-0-on-june-22/
  8. Hi Rick... welcome to the Forum
  9. The Last Kaizen: Imagine Fuji would, for a last time, release a Firmware update for older X-series cameras (X-PRO1, X-E1, X-E2, X20, X100S, X-M1 & Co) that will bring 2 new features. Which one would you like to get? Please choose just 2 New Firmware features, not more!
  10. KAIZEN: Fujifilm X-E2 Firmware Update coming in about 6 months ** X-T1 Firmware 4.0 coming June 22 More here: http://www.fujirumors.com/kaizen-fujifilm-x-e2-firmware-update-coming-in-about-6-months-x-t1-firmware-4-0-coming-june-22/
  11. Yes... but I place my bet now: the Medium Format Fuji will be called... Fuji X-MF1
  12. Peter Fauland faced the challange to write one book about two cameras that share the same look, but are pretty different inside: the X100T and the X100S. Details here: http://www.fujirumors.com/mastering-the-fujifilm-x100t-and-x100s-by-p-fauland-available-this-week-in-german-english-version-in-august/
  13. KwyjiboVanDeKamp! Amazing Test! I think I should share it also on FujiRumors sooner or later... would that be fine for you? I'd love to give to your test the best visibility possible.
  14. Yep, 2 settings. You find them in the "IS MODE" menu of your camera. At 1/1000 I personally would not use OIS. But as said, it really depends on you (and the circumstances). It's like a homework to do: go out and try . Or simply follow the rule of thumb mentioned above, but, well, it's just a rule of thumb that doesn't take into consideration many aspects.
  15. Difficult to answer. I'm not a Pro (so please correct me FXF members if I'm wrong) but I think there is a rule of thumbs that says to start to use OIS (or tripod) at shutter speeds slower than the equivalent focal length you are using... but in real life this rule might not be very useful. In fact, there are so many other, very individual factors, that influence at which shutter speeds you should start using OIS. For example: how shaky are you hands on that day (are you nervous, is it cold)? Are you in a relaxed situation where you have a lot of time to take the photo, or are you on a shooting where you have to move a lot and work under stress?... and much more. I guess the best thing is to go out, look for a subject, and test it for yourself, since maybe you have very calm hands, and can shoot without OIS at shutter speeds where I instead have to use OIS (I drink too much coffee ). Also always keep in mind that your hands shakyness may vary according to the situation (as said above). But one thing you should keep in mind: there are 2 types of OIS on your XF 50-140: Mode 1 and Mode 2. Mode 1 is good for long shutter speeds, while you should use mode 2 for medium shutter speeds. I hope this helps... and have a lot of fun with your new lens.
  16. I'm very happy with the PATONA batteries. Work as long as the original batteries. You get them for $14 at Amazon: http://www.amazon.de/Bundlestar-Fujifilm-Infochip-Generation-kompatibel/dp/B0082KLQQM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1433198161&sr=8-2&keywords=patona+Fuji

  19. LOL... I saw the video and got the joke. And you are now on FujiRumors
  20. I'm sure FR-readers will like the images... nice portraits of a nice model. But, as you want, I'll make sure people know you're an amateur (just like me ) btw, that's Bert Stephani in your last shot, isn't it?
  21. damn... this lens is sharp, has a great bokeh and gives us very 3D looking images! Now I have to convince myself that I don't need this lens btw, PhilippeVdp, do you mind if I share your 90mm images & feedback on FujiRumors? I'd love to dedicate it an article on FujiRumors
  22. a blurry image can even win the world press photo award http://www.archive.worldpressphoto.org/search/layout/result/indeling/detailwpp/form/wpp/q/ishoofdafbeelding/true/trefwoord/year/2007 P.S.: keep your shot
  23. Did Lollipo ver. 5.1 fix the bug? Does your Samsung now connect flawlessly with the X-T1?
