Does anyone have any idea on the price point for the X-10?

Don’t trust the rumours (which is all I can say without violating the NDA). All will be revealed in a few days anyway.

There are different VAT rates in the EU countries and I cannot rule out that there might be a place where that 849 Euro figure is indeed correct, but definitely not where I live.

Ture, that's why I said in the rumor, that the price can differ from country to country in Europe... but it shouldn't be to far off from this rumored pirce (+/- €50 I think)

 

Since the $ / € conversion for electronic gear is often 1:1, and the X-T10 with 16-50 will cost $899 in USA, I guess that it could cost €899 in Europe (instead of €849).

Depend if lens are part of the consideration. Fuji has everyone beat for AF 1.5 cropped sensor lens. A6000 is at end of life cycle. So its price has come down a lot. It was at $650 for body /$800 kit upon release early 2014. The Nikon 5500 was announced 3 mo ago, at $899 body/$999 kit. It has come down, but is not cheaper yet than rumored x-t10 release price. If video was priority,, I wouldn't bother with Fuji compared to either Sony or Nikon. . AF remains to be seen as to how good it will be for action.

 

All price elasticity being equal, I expect X-T10 to eventually be discounted by $200-300 a year or 1.5 yr from now when it's at the same point in its life cycle as A6000. In order for that to happen Fuji needs to blow out the remaining x-e2 stock first. Recall X-E2 was released at $999 body and is now discounted by $300.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
