Fringer EF-FX Pro II & EF-FX II Firmware 1.60 Released

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 22, 2020

Fringer released a firmware update for their Fringer EF-FX Pro II & EF-FX II
2020/3/20

Version 1.60

Added following lenses to the tested and optimized lens list:
Fixed compatibility issues with X-T200 camera. Be noted, since X-T200 is equipped with a non X-Trans CMOS, its AF performance is poorer when using EF mount lenses. Please use MF mode if necessary.

Please download the firmware file and release notes from our official website.

For old version, i.e. Gen.1 products EF-FX Pro and EF-FX, the new firmware (v3.30) only fixes XT200 compatiblity issue. Because the hardware resources have been used up, there won’t be any update including new lens data.

Update: More Countries Embracing Fujifilm Avigan To Treat Coronavirus (COVID-19)

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 21, 2020

The world is slowly grinding to a halt and photography is the last thing on most people’s minds, but it is interesting the Fujifilm is playing an increasingly larger roll in treating the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. FujiAddict has followed the progress of Avigan being used to treat Coronavirus, which started here and here. Today Nikkei published a story about how Indonesia is now using Avigan to treat Coronavirus due to Beijing endorsing the drug for treatment.

Nasdaq also published a story today called “All the Drugs Proving Anecdotally Effective Against COVID-19, and the Companies That Make Them” and in it, they have the details about the effectiveness of the drug stating:

Favipiravir (Avigan): In addition to these two drugs that have been approved for compassionate use, favipiravir, also known as Avigan, is an antiflu drug that was developed by a subsidiary of Japanese company Fujifilm (OTC: FUJIY) in 2014. It has also gotten some press recently as a possible treatment for COVID-19.
In China, a trial involving 340 people showed that favipiravir allowed patients to turn negative for the disease in a median of four days, versus the 11 days for those not treated with the drug. China’s science and technology minister, Zhang Xinmin, called the drug “clearly effective” on the basis of this study. In addition, X-rays showed that those treated with the drug had less lung damage that those who weren’t.
Still, there were some shortcomings, as Favipiravir apparently doesn’t work as well in people who are already severely ill, according to Japanese health officials. – Nasdaq

There are other drugs that are offering people hope listed in the article, but you can read it here if you are interested in the complete picture. I hope you are all staying safe and doing well. I will be posting an update about my astrophotography project, which I started yesterday. So far I am very impressed with the Magic Venus Optics Laowa Magic Format Converter MFC (Nikon F to Fujifilm G) and Venus Optics Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D combo, but the Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC Wide-Angle vignettes some in the real world.

Astrophotography Coronavirus (COVID-19) Quarantine Photography Project in Progress

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 20, 2020

Many are now practicing social distancing or quarantining themselves during this public health crisis so photography jobs are becoming difficult to put together. If you haven’t been able to shoot lately than now might be a good time to practice landscape or astrophotography with astrophotography season upon us. I personally plan to practice social distancing by putting many miles between me and population centers by shooting in the Florida Everglades since the keys have been closed.

So I grabbed a Venus Optics Laowa Magic Format Converter MFC (Nikon F to Fujifilm G) for my Fujifilm GFX100 and the Venus Optics Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D for Nikon F and Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC Wide-Angle for Nikon. I also grabbed some other gear, but I will cover that at a later date.

The magic format converter does seem to work very well with both of the lenses that I am using it with, but I haven’t had a chance to do any resolution or distortion testing with them yet and probably won’t before I shoot Astro. The Fujifilm GFX’s biggest weakness at this time is a lack of fast glass that is necessary for shooting under certain conditions like Astro.

I hope you are all being safe out there and that you follow the guidelines of health officials to minimize the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19), but it can be nice to get out of the house for more than a walk and many forget to explore the great outdoors in their day to day lives so let’s all take some time to appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us in the world while we have the time and continue practicing social distancing responsibly.
