SLRgear says the new 56mm lens is a “triumph”!

Lens review specialized site SLRgear tested the new Fuji 56mm f/1.2 lens and writes:

Fujifilm is really knocking it out of the park with their X-mount prime lenses, and the Fujinon 56mm ƒ/1.2R is another triumph. Typically, an impressively bright ƒ/1.2 aperture brings with it some big sacrifices such as sharpness, vignetting and CA, but the Fuji 56mm avoids them all. With stunningly sharp images, even in the corners at ƒ/1.2 with extremely minimal CA, vignetting and distortion, Fuji shooters looking for the premiere portrait lens for the X-mount should look no further.

Amazing lens! And for what it delivers the price isn’t crazy high neither! You can get the lens now at Amazon or BHphoto.

New Fuji Guys X-T1 video. And review by The Verge.

The team from FujiGuys made that nice Youtube video to explain the Top Features of the new X-T1.

Also TheVerge took a deep look to the X-T1 and got impressed by the camera:

I’ve been shooting with mirrorless cameras for a long time — I was an early converter because I was just tired of lugging my DSLR rig around. But they’ve always involved compromises. But after shooting with the Fujifilm X-T1 for almost a full month, I really feel like I’ve found what I’ve been looking for.

Fuji’s new 85-300mm fast XF zoom patent!

A brand new Fuji patent (JP2013/004636 published on 02/27/2014) describes a rather spectacular new 85-300mm f/2.7-3.7 XF zoom! It’s terrific fast for such a zoom range!

These could be the characteristics of the “Super Telephoto zoom lens” pictured on the official Fuji roadmap:

Obviously, the real production lens could have slightly different specs than the patented version. But would you buy a lens like that? I guess it will not be cheap! But it will suite fine on your new Fuji X-T1 which by the way keeps selling wonderfully according to Amazon US (click here to see the ranking).

 

 

New Leica system camera has APS-C sensor!

This won’t happen: A Leica branded Panasonic MFT camera :)

The.me confirmed to us that the new Leica system camera will have an APS-C sensor. The camera will be made by Panasonic and Leica will stick their logo on it :)

I can add via my sources that price will be in between $1,500 and $2,000!
