Fujifilm has updated its X-mount lens roadmap to include a 50-230mm F4.5-6.7 OIS lens as part of its more affordable ‘XC’ series. The 75-350mm equivalent tele-zoom joins the 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 XC and the ten existing or announced high-end XF series lenses in Fujifilm’s lineup. The company also highlights the three Touit lenses available or planned by Zeiss for the X-mount system. The Fujinon XC50-230mm F4.5-6.7 OIS appears in the fourth quarter of 2013 on the roadmap.

Fujifilm has announced a set of firmware updates for its X-Pro1 and X-E1 mirrorless cameras. Versions 2.05 for the X-Pro1 and 1.06 for the X-E1 will be available to download on 25th June; they offer compatibility with lenses that don’t have aperture rings, and allow easier focus area selection when shooting with the eye-level viewfinder. The company has also pre-announced further updates (Versions 3.00 for the X-Pro1, and 2.00 for the X-E1) which promise to improve autofocus speed with existing XF lenses, and add the much-requested ‘focus peaking’ function to aid manual focus. These are due to be available for download on 23rd July.

Just posted: Our Fujifilm X-M1 hands-on preview

25 Jun

Just posted: Our detailed Fujifilm X-M1 hands-on preview. Fujifilm’s latest miniaturised mirrorless model represents something of a design departure from its previous X-system cameras, eschewing the traditional control dials seen on the X-E1 and X-Pro1 for a more contemporary control layout. It also forgoes an eye-level viewfinder, making do with a tilting rear screen instead. Is this a betrayal of everything Fujifilm owners have grown to love about their cameras, or is there more to the little X-M1 than meets the eye? Read our preview to find out.

Fujifilm introduces XF 27mm F2.8 ‘pancake’ lens

25 Jun

Fujifilm has introduced the XF 27mm F2.8, a compact ‘pancake’ lens for its X-system cameras. It’s just 23mm thick and weighs only 78g, making it by far the smallest X-mount lens. This means there’s no space for an aperture ring, so X-Pro1 and X-E1 owners will need to update their firmware to allow aperture setting from the camera’s rear control dial. It’ll be available in either black or silver, at an MSRP of $ 449.95.

Fujifilm announces X-M1 mirrorless camera and XC 16-50mm OIS lens

25 Jun

XM1_news-520-2.png

Fujifilm has announced the X-M1, a compact-bodied mirrorless camera that features a rather different design to its previous models. Instead of ‘traditional’ shutter speed and exposure compensation dials, the X-M1 uses twin electronic control dials to change exposure parameters. It has a tilting 920k dot 3″ LCD screen but no eye-level viewfinder, and uses the same 16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor as the X-Pro1 and X-E1. It comes with a new kit zoom, the XC 16-50mm F3.6-5.6 OIS that offers a 24-75mm equivalent range and optical stabilisation, but has no aperture ring.

Fujifilm and Panasonic collaborate on ‘industry-leading’ organic/CMOS sensor

12 Jun

Fujifilm and Panasonic have announced the joint development of a sensor technology that combines a light-sensitive coating on top of a CMOS chip. The companies claim higher dynamic range and sensitivity than current CMOS sensors, along with the ability to receive light at steeper angles – making it easier to design cameras with wide-angle lenses and allowing lenses to be mounted nearer to the sensor. The announcement extends from the work Fujifilm has been conducting on organic (carbon-based) photo-senstive materials and combines it with CMOS underpinnings developed by Panasonic. The result is a chip that uses CMOS technology only for circuitry – with the organic layer taking over the role of converting light into electrons.

Zeiss names and defines new lenses for Sony NEX and Fujifilm X cameras

01 May

Touit12.jpg

Zeiss has announced more detail on two forthcoming lenses for Sony NEX and Fujifilm X-mount APS-C cameras –  the 12mm F2.8 and 32mm F1.8 lenses it unveiled at Photokina last year. The announcement came via the Zeiss blog, which went into detail on how they came to the name for the new series, ‘Touit.’ Pronounced like the English ‘do it,’ the new lenses are named after a Latin American band-tailed parrot, which Zeiss describes as ‘small and agile,’ much like mirrorless cameras are meant to be. Click for more on the new lenses.
