DPR: Fujifilm X-E4 Reviewed and Receives A Silver Award

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 6, 2021

DPR published its full Fujifilm X-E4 review here today and gave the camera a silver award with a score of 85%. The X-E line was one of my favorites until I stepped up to the X-T line of cameras, but the new compact X-E4 is making me consider one as a second body for my X-T4.

“Ultimately, the X-E4 is a camera with a lot to offer and we suspect it is going to make a lot of photographers happy, especially those craving a near-pocket-size X-mount body with Fujifilm’s latest IQ performance. For those upgrading from other Fujifilm bodies, the lack of buttons will likely take some getting used to, but don’t let that be a deal-breaker. This is a camera anyone on staff at DPReview would be happy to grab for an afternoon of street photography or take on a long vacation – once that’s a thing again.”

What we like	What we don’t like
Excellent image quality, pleasing JPEG color Nice classic styling and compact design Strong video feature set with good-quality Full HD and 4K video The tilting touch screen is highly-responsive Can use USB-C port for headphones with included dongle In-camera charging Good battery life	Autofocus tracking performance lags behind the competition No animal detection AF mode We miss having a rear dial and focus mode selector (like on X-E3) More custom buttons would be nice The camera is slippery without accessory grip No in-body stabilization No weather-sealing

Unique 3D Printed Bespoke Wiggle Lens For X-Mount

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 5, 2021

A friend let me know about these lenses, but they sold out very quickly even though they were supposed to be available threw today. You can try your luck here, but they should announce another batch soon hopefully.

3D Stereoscopic Wiggle Lens for Sony E mount and Fuji X mount
Hey, folks. I’m excited to open the first round of bespoke small batch production run of my 3D printed 3D stereoscopic wiggle lens for Sony E mount in APS-c and Full-Frame, and for Fuji X mount!

My goal is to build up funds to purchase a used Canon RP to start working on finalizing the RF version (ATM they’re averaging $900 USD on eBay). So, how’s this going to work? I’ve 20 preorder slots for each version for a total of 60 preorder slots.

Pricing:

Pricing for the Full-Frame E mount is $80 USD shipped within the contiguous United States.
Pricing for the APS-C E Mount and X Mount is $70 USD shipped within the contiguous United States

If you live outside of the United States, and want to order one shoot me an email at [email protected] and I’ll figure out the cheapest way to ship it out to you.

Timeline:

March 8st – April 5th, 2021: Preorders open
April 12th, 2021: Production begins and orders will be shipped as they come off the printer in the order received. Once all orders are fulfilled, STL files will be available for sale along with an assembly video to help you along the way, and printed lens bodies (does not include lenses) will be available for purchase.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send them my way at [email protected]. Bookmark this page as I’ll be adding more content shortly. I know, I know, I’ve been on somewhat of a hiatus. There have been multiple projects I’ve been working on and finally have the clarity and time to start producing these lens adapters.

Samyang is Teasing Two New Lenses

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 4, 2021

Samyang is known for having some great glass for astrophotography so it is not surprising that they are teasing that these new lenses would be for Astro, but what they could be is a bit of a mystery. I hope these lenses are revisions of their current lenses, but faster than the lenses currently available. The lens is expected to be announced this month.
