Photons to Photos: Fujifilm GFX100S PDR Posted

By Louis Ferreira | Published: June 11, 2022


The Fujifilm GFX100S has been available for a while now, but Photons to Photos only just posted their PDR results, which are almost identical to the GFX100. You can view and manipulate the results here. It’s interesting that the GFX100S body size hasn’t led to any compromises. I wonder how it compares to the GFX100 for extremely long exposures where heat can become an issue.

CF: Samyang AF 12mm f/2 Review

By Louis Ferreira | Published: June 11, 2022

The Samyang AF 12mm f/2 X is their first AF lens to be released for X mount and it is based on their very popular Samyang 12mm f/2 design which was manual focus. Below is a summary of the above review by Christopher Frost:

  • The lens is quite compact and has a weather-sealing gasket
  • There is only one adjustment on the lens the focus ring
  • The lens suffers from focus breathing
  • AF is reasonably fast, accurate, silent
  • 62mm filter thread
  • Very simple plastic hood that mounts well, but you cant reverse it for storage
  • Optically as good as the old 12mm, but they improved the coatings
  • “Brilliantly sharp” wide open at f/2, but it gets soft towards the edges with some chromatic aberration
  • Corners get better up to f/8 where they peak
  • The optics are an older design that is always razor-sharp in the center, but only ok in the corners
  • Moderate barrel distortion and vignetting with corrections turned off, but the camera will correct this fine
  • Focus as close as 20cm
  • Close-up image quality is pretty sharp
  • Flaring performance is decent which is an improvement over the original
  • Very little chroma smearing at night but there is a little color fringing up until f/8
  • If you want sun stars stop down to f/11 and they get impressive at f/16
  • Bokeh is quite smooth for an ultra-wide lens
  • Samyang has fixed the weaknesses of the old manual focus lens with the exception of chromatic aberration which can be fixed in post
  • Pretty much everyone should enjoy this lens and it is at great price point

Fujifilm at PHOTONEXT 2022

By Louis Ferreira | Published: June 9, 2022


Fujifilm had the largest booth at Photo Next 2022 and they prominently displayed the Fujifilm X-H2S next to the GFX100 and they even had a GFX100 IR to show off. It is interesting that Fujifilm made the glowing IR logo on the lower left-hand side of the camera which you can see at capa. They also had the XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR and XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR on display and presentations of the X-H2S. Fujifilm also seemed particularly proud of the GFX100’s 400MP multishot mode.
