Fujifilm X-T4, X-T30II and X-E4 Listed as Discontinued Overseas

Japanese retailers like kitamura (1, 2, 3) are listing the Fujifilm X-T4, X-T30II, and X-E4 as discontinued. This is an interesting development because we know the Fujifilm X-T5 is coming soon, but the Fujifilm X-T30II and Fujifilm X-E4 are unexpected. Supply chain issues have likely caused this development, and we might see the cameras snap back into stock as they have in the past, but generally, the first sign of discontinued cameras is a sign that Fujifilm has stopped producing the cameras, and regional allocation will need to be adjusted if they want to continue selling a camera in a region.

Fringer just released a demo video of the Fringer NF-GFX Smart Adapter, which we first reported about here. The firmware in the video is still beta, but it looks like the adapter is coming along well. Below is the accompanying post for the video:

The development of Fringer NF-GFX is almost complete. It adapts Nikon F mount lenses to GFX cameras while keeping AF, AE, and other auto functions.

Key features include:

1. Built-in aperture motor. Support electronic aperture control for both mechanical and magnetoelectric aperture lenses (AF, D, G, E lenses).
2. Autofocus (AF-S & AF-P lenses only). Support phase detection AF (on GFX100/100S and optimized lenses only).
3. Build-in lens profiles. Support LaCA correction (optimized lenses only). Support vignetting and distortion correction (selected lenses only).
4. Support lens VR or IBIS (not at the same time). User selectable.
