Fujifilm X Summit May 2022: Fifth Generation X-Mount, Fujifilm X-H2, GFX, and More


Fujifilm just announced X Summit May 2022 in their 10 years of X-Mount video which you can view below. At the end of the video, they talk about the X Summit in May and how it will be used to launch the fifth series of X-mount cameras which will start with the Fujifilm X-H2.

The GFX Challenge Grand Program 2021 application deadline was reached on the 5th of January and Fujifilm would like to thank people for the submissions. In the first round, everyone’s proposal will be reviewed, but only 50 will be selected to move on to the second round to be interviewed. Out of the 50, Fujifilm will select 15 to move onto the final round where 5 global grant awards will be selected and the remaining 10 will receive regional grants. The winners will be announced by the end of March.

For the 10 year anniversary, Fujifilm is also starting a video project called reflections that will cover various artists that have chosen to work with X-mount over the years. Fujifilm plans to break this promotional video up into segments, but also will be incorporated into a full-length video that Fujifilm hopes you can relate to.

Fujifilm also announced a #10YearsOfXMount that will start with showing your best photos taken on X mount on social media. It also includes Fujifilm launching a new IG account Fujifilm X World.

New NiSi V7 Filter Holder System and True Color Filter Announced


NiSi announced its new V7 filter holder and it looks like a nice upgrade over the V6 edition that I used a while ago. NiSi has a very nice filter system and you can currently order the new V7 filter holder from B&H Photo or Amazon.

NiSi has released the brand new V7 100mm filter holder system, which  combines the advantages of V6 filter holder kit with new innovative features. These new improvements have been made based on the feedback and suggestions of many photographers.

Three upgrades

  • New True Color fidelity polarizer

NiSi jointly developed a new polarizing material with a Japanese company and applied it to the built-in polarizer of V7 for the first time. This removes the yellow tint of traditional polarizing materials and presents a more true color.

  • Patented fast-assembling design

Patented bayonet design, point-to-point installation, rapid installation and quick release.

  • Patented 2-in-1 lock design

This combines a pull rod with the locking screw for easy use and quick locking.

More details
The V7 filter holder system contains three adapter rings. It supports 3 square filters and 1 circular polarizer in any combination. A full frame camera with a 15mm ultra wide Angle lens can be rotated 360 degrees without vignetting.

Highlights
– 86mm True Color polarizer
– Patented 2-in-1 lock in front bracket
– Patented fast-assembly main dial design
– Allows the use of 3 square filters and a circular polarizer
– Includes 4 adapter rings and 1 CPL (PRO CPL, Landscape NC CPL or True Color CPL)
– Includes a soft pouch and lens cap
– No vignetting on ultra wide angle lenses up to 15mm on full frame cameras.

New Steelsring EF/GFX PRO Edition

Steelsring is introducing a new Pro GFX AF adapter that will be available soon. The adapter adds a multifunction button and aperture a/c switch that adds similar controls to those found on the aperture ring of GF glass.

About Manual Focus Ring (PRO edition only, not available for I/II/III adapters)
When lens mode switch simulation is in C or A mode, aperture control is done via camera body dial, then we use the control ring to simulate a manual focus ring, it is more like power focusing of curtain EF lenses. To be effective, lens body AF/MF mode switch must be set to AF, and camera body focus mode dial set to MF. Turning control ring, it will activate camera’s MF assistant automatically.

About Automatic Focus Bracketing (PRO edition only, not available for I/II/III adapters)
When PRO adapter’s control ring can function as manual focus ring, it is able to set the begin and end positions of auto focusing bracketing depth now. So before entering Auto Focusing bracketing setting in camera body menus, please make sure adapter’s lens mode switch simulation is in C or A mode, and set Lens body AF/MF mode to AF, then turn the adapter’s control ring to set the position accordingly. Please do not turn lens body’s manual focus ring, it is useless because lens won’t report any distance change after focusing position changed, but FUJI’s algorithm need that value.

After finishing automatic focus bracketing positioning setting, control ring can be set to aperture dial simulation again.
