New rumors have already begun. Proof of the 32/33mm !?

In a video from (the awesome) bigheadtaco, a new X-Pro2 feature to preview framelines is shown.

 

With the wide magnification, a frameline for 32mm appears. Is this for the rumored 32 / 33mm F1.0 ?

Edit: In an image that mikemander took, it does show a frameline of 33mm.

Possibly he was using an earlier (or later) version of the pre-production firmware.

The Zeiss would be my guess.

 

Good call ! :( Completely forgot about that one with all the announcements going on.

Still, i'm hoping.

 

33 is such a strange focal length though, here's hoping they round it down to 32 indeed.

Silly i know, but at least they can combine the framelines if indeed they're showing support for the Zeiss here. =)

 

I wonder if you're able to choose between wide or standard magnification when shooting 32mm, i think i would prefer the latter even if it's a little tight.

 

Interesting feature in any case, this framelines preview.

Updated the post with an image where the frameline is actually 33mm, not 32mm!

You can choose on the xpro1 by holding the ovf/evf switch for 4 seconds so I doubt they'd remove that feature

 
Of course not ! But i didn't know (or forgot) about it, and it seems to be updated now.

 

I wonder, does the Pro1 show the 90mm with latest firmware? And what about 32mm?

Well, the frameline doesn't zoom past a certain point that's quite early in the zoom range on my 50-140. I guess they don't do it because the parallax correction would just be too inaccurate.

 

Yes, but what about the framelines preview option we were talking about?

That would kill off their X100 series. I could live with a pancake 23 F2.8 tho and I know I am not the only one around :D

 

Off-topic: I doubt it, since a x-mount lens can't be built half of more into the body, it goes 'in front' of it. But the X100 is about way more than a flat lens. (has been discussed numerous times already)

I really want a 33mmF1. 

 

I really want one, too. But as I don't know how large it needs to be, I'd rather have someone make a more educated decision. I don't want a super slow focusing behemoth with super soft corners, incredible vignetting and all kinds of other optical issues. If they could make one in a size below the 56, maybe even around the size of the 23, that would be outstanding. I know that entry pupil size plays a role, so just saying ... 

 

And I'd be willing to pay a fair price for it. But I'm not willing to pay Noctilux price/quality ratio which is absolutely abysmal.

I´m sure, if fuji really is bringing that to the market, the 33mm f1,0 will be the best (in terms of IQ) faster-than f/1,2 standard-prime in the world...across all systems. But unfortunately it also will be the most expensive XF (prime) lens ever.

    • Some elements in (autofocus) lenses are „floating“, so I guess what you are experiencing is normal.
    • How do I turn off the electronic shutter in the menu - the option is grayed out and I cannot select the mechanical option
    • I'm having trouble finding a way to attach a right-angle viewfinder to the Fuji X-H1 camera. Does anyone have experience with how the angle viewfinder behaves in combination with the EVF? Is the Minolta frame diameter of the right angle viewfinder suitable for attaching to the Fuji XH1 (or XT1, 2, 3, 5)? Does anyone have knowledge about which eyepiece is compatible with the Fuji X system? Thank you in advance for any assistance and information you can provide.    
    • I purchased a gently used XF 80mm f/2.8 aspherical macro for my X-T5. Not being familiar with this lens but having had experience with the Leica T mount 60mm macro and Canon and Zeiss macros, I was surprised that I felt what might be best described as a loose lens element that shifted when I tilted the lens, even before being mounted to the camera. In manual focus mode, the lens is fine, but there is a distinct “wobble” when the lens is in autofocus mode. I reported this to the company (I bought it from KEH), and they agreed this was odd and accepted it back for a full refund. I just got a replacement lens and the same thing is happening. I’ve never had an experience in which I feel a lens element loose inside the housing. Is this normal? Should I return it (again)?
    • Old post but hope this can help. You have to make sure that exp. comp. is set to zero in P, S or A mode before you go in to manual mode. If the comp is set to, let say +5, and this is of the range for the settings in manual mode, twisting the comp dial (left dial) want do any changes.
