  • Fujifilm adds GF 45mm F2.8 R WR, expands medium-format lens roadmap

    Fujifilm’s offerings for its GF medium-format system have expanded with the addition of the Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8 R WR. It will provide a 36mm equivalent view of the world when used on the company’s GFX 50S, and is dust- and weather-resistant. Lens construction includes a 9 blade aperture and 8 groups with 11 elements, including one aspherical and two ED lenses.

    Fujifilm plans to launch a GF 250mm F4 R LM OIS WR telephoto prime and a GF 1.4X TC WR teleconverter next year, both of which are hinted to on an existing roadmap. The 250mm gives a 198mm equivalent view.

    A firmware update is also on the way for the GFX 50S to add support for Fuji’s X Raw Studio and better functionality with third party studio flash controllers. Here’s the full list of improvements:

    FUJIFILM GFX 50S: V.2.0 Key Features

    1. Supports FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO which enables users to convert RAW files with X Processor Pro.
    2. Improves radio flash controller usability allowing users to shoot with compatible third party studio flash in high speed sync or TTL mode via their radio controllers.
    3. Supports backup and restore of camera settings from one camera to another via FUJIFILM X Acquire.
    4. Addition of “Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display” in View Mode that allows for shooting through the viewfinder and checking images on the LCD.
    5. ON/OFF for 1/3-step shutter speed adjustment.
    6. Addition of “Shoot Without Card” mode so camera will not shoot without SD card inserted.
    7. Addition of “-6” and “-7” to EVF’s brightness settings.

    The Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8 R WR is scheduled for arrival in November for $ 1700.

  • Fujifilm XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro offers 1:1 reproduction

    Fujifilm is officially announcing the XF 80mm F2.8 Macro, a lens that previously appeared on the company’s X-mount roadmap. The 80mm F2.8 is equivalent to 122mm on X-series bodies, and is the first of Fuji’s X-mount lenses to give full 1:1 macro reproduction.

    Its WR designation means it’s weather-sealed to resist dust and moisture, and its OIS stabilization claims 5-stops of correction. AF is quiet thanks to a linear motor, and a fluorine coating on the front element aims to make it less prone to smudging.

    The Fujifilm XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR will be available in November for $ 1200.

  • Mobile Micro-Lending: 17th-Century Book-Shaped Library Hides 50 Tiny Books

    [ By WebUrbanist in Technology & Vintage & Retro. ]

    Back in the 1600s, long before science fiction authors dreamed up digital e-readers, this Jacobean traveling library was making the rounds, housing dozens of small books in a larger book-shaped case. Bound in leather like a large folio volume, it is thought to be one of the first of its kind.

    The handcrafted wooden shell was purpose-built to house a collection of littler volumes that could in theory be swapped out for different journeys, much like loading up a modern device with novels (or torrents).

    Located at the University of Leeds Library, this case is presumed to have been commissioned by a lawyer and politician named William Hakewell in 1617 as a holiday gift (as the recipient’s and giver’s coats of arms are both found on the case). The case is quite compelling — it looks a lot like a book upon casual inspection — while the contents are neatly arranged in similar-looking bindings.

    The gift included classics by Ovid, Virgil and Cicero among others, spanning a range of philosophical and theological subjects. Hakewell commissioned several similar cases over the years, which would also have facilitated trades across collections of friends if they were so inclined. Each case also contained a list of original books that came with the commission, which in turn have numbers corresponding to the list

  • Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    Fujifilm has just taken the wraps off a brand new camera: the X-E3. Successor to the X-E2S, we’ll admit that the X-E3 took us rather by surprise. After the release of the X-T10 and X-T20 we had assumed that the rangefinder-style X-E line was all but dead.

    We don’t mind being proven wrong though, especially given that the X-E3 looks like a really nice camera. Fujifilm kindly loaned us a prototype for a few days, and we’ve taken a closer look at what we’re starting to think of as a mini X-Pro2.

    Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    Compared to the X-E2S, the new X-E3 is slightly smaller, and a little lighter. The design is cleaner, too. The X-E2S’s hard cutout in the handgrip is gone, likewise the non-continuous contour of the metal top-plate. You’ll notice that the X-E3 features a front control dial, which while largely redundant if you’re using lenses with a dedicated aperture dial, can be handy.

    Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    The generally cleaner design extends to the rear of the camera, too. The X-E3 features the same 3″ 1.04 million-dot LCD screen as the X-T2, (although without the tilting mechanism) and the AF positioning joystick that’s becoming standard on the X-series.

    The X-E3’s electronic viewfinder is the same excellent 2.36M-dot display that we’ve seen previously in the X-T2.

    Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    Between them, the touchscreen and joystick replace several of the X-E2S’s rear buttons, including the traditional 4-way controller. Where previously access to ISO, white balance, film simulation, and AF mode were controlled via the buttons on the controller, now they’re accessed by swiping up/down/left/right on the touch-screen.

    The touchscreen experience on our prototype camera is reasonably fast, with some occasional lagginess. It remains to be seen whether final shipping cameras will offer a significantly improved experience but either way, the X-E3’s touchscreen is very usable.

    Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    Here’s a closeup of the joystick, which replaces the 4-way controller when it comes to simple navigation actions like scrolling through menus.

    Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    Missing from the X-E3 is a built-in flash…

    Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    …instead, you’ll need to attach an external flashgun – perhaps Fujifilm’s delightful (and delightfully small) collapsible EF-X8, which is included in the box. Sadly, this does mean the X-E2’s unadvertised bounce flash capability, (easily achieved by pulling the built-in flash backwards) has been lost.

    Gained though is full-time low-energy Bluetooth – a first for the Fujifilm X-series, which should simplify things when it comes to connecting the X-E3 to smart devices.

    Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    Here’s a closer look at the X-E3’s top-plate. A manual shutter speed dial should satisfy purists, while a -/+3EV exposure compensation dial (with a ‘C’ custom position to take it up to -/+5EV) is positioned within easy reach of the right thumb.

    Note the lack of an ISO sensitivity dial, and the addition of the ‘Auto’ toggle from the X-T-series, which enables the camera to be put into fully automatic exposure mode with a single flick of the switch.

    Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    The X-E3 inherits the X-T2’s 24MP X-Trans III sensor, and adopts a version of its 325-point autofocus system, minus the flagship camera’s extensive customization options. Fujifilm claims that the camera features a ‘newly developed image recognition algorithm’ which should be able to track moving subjects more effectively than previous generations.

    In stills mode, the X-E3 can shoot at a maximum rate of 14 fps using its electronic shutter, or 8 fps with the mechanical shutter (which drops to 5 fps with live view maintained between exposures). And like the X-T20, the X-E3 can also shoot full-width 4K video, at a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160p in contiguous 4GB chunks.

    Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    A conventional latched door on the base of the X-E3 provides access to the NP-W126S battery and a single memory card slot. Disappointingly, the tripod bush is positioned off-axis to the lens, and very close to the battery compartment door. This will probably make it impossible to change batteries or cards when the camera is used on a tripod.

    Battery life is rated for 350 exposures, under CIPA test conditions.

    Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-E3

    The X-E3 will be available later this month for $ 899 body only, or in a kit with either the 18-55mm zoom for $ 1299.95, or the 23mm F2 prime for $ 1149.95.

  • Throwback Thursday: Alpha A700, Sony’s first high-end DSLR

    Turning ten years old this week is the A700, Sony’s first high-end DSLR after fully taking over Konica Minolta’s camera business. With plenty of Minolta DNA underneath its Sony Alpha branding, it debuted in September 2007 to take on the likes of Canon’s 40D and Nikon’s D300.
