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


Recommended Posts

There will be no actual X-Pro 2. Instead the teased rumor is about something that will replace the X-Pro 1 but it will not be called X-Pro, because it is too different technology-wise. The "major breakthrough" that fuji said it wanted to wait for with the X-Pro2 is too major to stay with the X-Pro branding. Hence a new camera section in this forum.

WOW, I just got an amazing rumor from a source, who was right in the past. Can't share more for now, since I still have to write the text (I'll write it after lunch), send it to the source for review and wait for its “OK”. Just stay tuned on FujiRumors and the Fuji X Forum.

 

But I tell you this... we could need a New Camera Section (!!!) here on the Fuji X Forum!

 

btw, I wrote this thread during coffee break... as you can see in the Selfie I share here with you (used WiFi remote control)

X30 with larger sensor I guess

If I had to guess then I would say a new organic sensor with a 1.3X crop factor that can still be used with existing lenses, the megapixel count will be 20 MP and if its in the next X Pro they aren't going to call it that anymore. Downside, a new crop factor shortens all our lenses so I don't know if I would bite on that given the investment I have made in glass for the focal length equivalents.

X-E3? An XT10 in a rangefinder style body? It would potentially divide the custom base from Fuji's perspective - but there is clearly some level of demand for both. Maybe to coincide with an XPro2 Launch in late Autumn

If it's something that would create a "new camera section" I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's a camera that combines the image quality of the X-Series with the fun of the Instax series. Might be kinda cool!

    • 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. 
    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • 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.
