Oh My Gosh! Just received a GREAT RUMOR! Just a Hint for now... more soon!


Recommended Posts

I would also like a monochrome square format MF Range finder style digital camera with :

 

- XT1 like EVF 

- small size light weight

- usable ISO up to 12800

- 13+ stops DR

- 2x memory cards

- tiltable and touch screen

- in body image stabilization 

- weather proof

FUJI started the X APS-C sensor with a fixed lens X100.

 

My guess is that perhaps they want to test the waters with a FF fixed lens camera.

 

Good grief ... 9 pages to get to here. Nobody will care what the guesses are by now.

Fuji have linked up with Google - which means your cameras wifi will work superbly every time.

 

It also means your pics will be geotagged by Google Maps, added to the Google web image search system to see if you've taken a similar picture to one already copyrighted so Google can auto delete the image, and finally allow Google to cache all the information to their "non intrusive" world of data gathering in readiness for the day when they are ready to dominate the world!

 

Or, more ludicrously Fuji might have actually found a way to make their algorithms work with Adobe products!

I'm not a fan of the whole rumour thing anyway. But this is a Fuji forum, has members from all over the world, and supports Tapatalk :D

It would be silly to continue to placate and copy an obsolete 35 mm world. mm are irrelevant. I was just playing with the comparator @ imaging-resourse and found that the Sony A7R2 is matched by the XT1 at high ISO and thougroughly embarrassed by the sigma Quattro at Iso 100. There is no benefit to Fuji from playing the old game. (unless you think that bad alias is the same as detail).

It's the rumor about a possible MF camera body, it kind of takes times for it to come into fruition.

 

The rumor about it could have come at any time of the development of it, usually it takes 1-2 years before a prototype is being made and maybe another year in testing. There is a very good probability that we won't be having any kind of announcement before Photokina this year, personally, I am not expecting anything before at least mid 2017.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
