note for myself, start saving money...

 

 

I don't think it would be outrageously expensive. The nice thing about this sensor is, that you don't even need BSI infastructre since you "only" put the organic layer on a FSI sensor.  

 

The thing I like most about this sensor is the new microlens design that allows for 60 degree angle of incidence.

Is this still a joint venture with Fujifilm? Because I can't seem to find something suggesting this in the current press release. And, apart from the initial information a couple of years ago, there's no mention of Fuji regarding the organic sensor. Do we have any other indication that they are still on board?

 

Edit: a quick google search revealed this rumor:

which, as I understand, will greatly improve performance with the so called heritage lenses.

Not only that. Fast lenses would benefit from it too. (And Fuji has a lot of those) 

 

By the way, do we know if they will use it for their medium format camera?

 

I don't think we will see this tech before 2018-2020.

I am really looking forward to this new sensor.

 

Unfortunately it will take some time from the press release to the actual product.

Maybe this sensor will be built into the X-Pro3 if it takes another four years to develop it.

 

Maybe what's even more important: this breaks the felt monopoly of high quality sensors from Sony.

Can anybody explain what exactly they mean by "global shutter" in this press release? Is it a fully electronic mechanism w/o the disadvantages of the current tech?

Yes. It means that every single pixel is read out (electronically) at the same time. So no rolling shutter and other shutter problems.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      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.

      Thank you. I will research it.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      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.
