50% Off Fujinon GF50mm f/3.5 Stock Update


B&H Photo received a shipment of the deeply discounted Fujinon GF50mm f/3.5 that is currently 50% off. Adorama should receive one soon too, but it appears that Amazon has removed their listing due to high demand. I would ignore shipment estimates because shops are taking longer than 7-14 days to receive stock and there seems to be a lot of people in line.

If you’re interested in this deal I would suggest not waiting because I do not believe we will see them in stock before the savings end.

Fujifilm X-T4: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Press Release:
The X-T4 uses the back-illuminated 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and a high-speed image processing engine, the X-Processor 4. Combined with FUJIFILM’s colour reproduction technology, the X-T4 delivers a wide variety of options so you can recreate a scene exactly as you remember it.

IBIS provides 5-axis 6.5 stop image stabilisation when used with 18 out of 29 XF / XC lenses. It offers many new components, including new materials to the base part, a refined layout of the shutter’s shock-absorbing structure and newly developed gyro sensors that boast approx. 8 times the detection accuracy of the IBIS unit in the X-H1. This particular mechanism assists night photography and sports photography, and also helps video recording in situations prone to camera shake. The new IBIS unit uses magnetic force rather than springs, which boosts functionality while making it approx. 30% smaller and 20% lighter than X-H1’s image stabilisation mechanism.

Thanks to newly developed high-torque coreless DC motor, the ultra-fast focal plane shutter has the capability to shoot up to world’s fastest 15fps in burst mode, and has advanced response performance with a shutter release lag of just 0.035 seconds. The shutter unit also boasts double the durability with 300,000 actuations and offers shutter noise approx. 30% quieter compared to the X-T3.

The 1.62 mil dots vari-angle monitor allows for more creative and versatile shooting styles.
The LCD/EVF can be boosted in three different ways, Low Light Priority – allowing users to see the subject clearly in low light, Resolution Priority – displaying even the fine details of your subject and Frame Rate Priority which minimises blur in the viewfinder when shooting a moving subject. The eyecup now has a locking mechanism to prevent tearing or dislodgement. The Boost / Normal modes are now joined by the Economy mode, which saves the power to increase the battery life.

The X-T4 features “ETERNA Bleach Bypass” a new Film Simulation mode, that uses FUJIFILM’s unique technology to provide versatile colour tones. The new mode simulates “bleach bypass,” which is a traditional processing technique for silver halide films; creating images with low saturation and high contrast for a special atmosphere.

Highlight and shadow tones from -2 to +4 can now be adjusted by 1/2 stops, instead of 1 stop, allowing for finer tonality, and White Balance now has “White Priority” and “Ambience Priority” options in addition to “AUTO.” The “White Priority” mode reproduces a stronger white, while the “Ambience Priority” produces a warmer tone.

When “RAW” is selected, users now choose the non-reversible “Compressed” option in addition to the reversible “Lossless Compressed.”

A new algorithm and phase detection AF’s processing capability has led to autofocus performance as fast as 0.02 seconds. This ensures that users can capture and track a subject moving at high speed, especially when combined with the continuous shooting performance of 15fps in post view and 8fps in live view.

Tracking AF performance has also undergone serious enhancement. The tracking success rate has been doubled compared to the X-T3. The Face / Eye AF performance has also been dramatically improved. This enhanced tracking ability has made focusing and taking portraits even easier than ever before.

The X-T4 is capable of recording Full HD high-speed video at 240P, producing up to 10x slow-motion effect. IBIS is effective when combined with the electronic image stabilization function (DIS) for use in the video mode, and brings even more image stabilisation, which is essential for users shooting video whilst walking.

The “IS (Image Stabilisation) Boost” mode mitigates gentle camera shakes, enabling stabilised fixed-point video recording without a tripod.

The stills and video modes now have separate menus and the video-only Quick Menu (Q Menu) button has enhanced the camera’s simplicity while recording video. A ”Movie optimised control” function has been introduced; users can adjust exposure with the command dial as well as the touchscreen panel. With this function, user can switch the STILL / MOVIE mode dial on the top panel to swiftly shift into video recording with stored video settings.

Video in the same format can be recorded on to two SD cards at the same time as backup. And the F-Log View Assist function has been added to correct low-saturation / low-contrast video while recording F-Log. Video is converted equivalent to BT.709 for display to make it easier to attain correct exposure in video recording.

The “Fix movie crop magnification” function fixes the video crop rate to prevent changes in the angle of view when switching to a different video mode. An “MIC jack setting” on the camera can be switched input level between MIC level and LINE level. The camera supports external microphones as well as LINE level input from external audio equipment.

A new NP-W235 battery is included which has a large capacity that is approx. 1.5 times that of an NP-W126S battery. It lasts for approx. 500 frames per charge in the Normal mode, approx. 600 frames per charge in the Economy mode and up to approx. 1,700 frames when two additional batteries are used with the optional battery grip (VG-XT4).

Fujifilm X100V Interview With Chief Designer Maszumi Imai And Senior Manager Shinichiro Udono


DPReview interviewed Chief Designer Maszumi Imai and Senior Manager Shinichiro Udono at the X Summit where the Fujifilm X100V was officially announced. Below are some key points from the interview:

  • Fujifilm X100 was their first high-end camera and it established their aesthetic and design philosophy utilizing dials
  • Updates are come to provide the best performance and the best functions
  • X100 has always sold well, but the X100F sold very well and Fujifilm expects the same with the X100V
  • The hybrid viewfinder and lens were the most important to Fujifilm when designing the X100V
  • Weather resistance and IBIS were the top requests from fans
  • Fujifilm studied putting IBIS in the X100, but decided they would have made the camera too big
  • The X100V took two years to design because of the changes to the lens
  • X100 sold the best in Japan with the first-gen, but later the USA became its biggest market
  • Film photographers are drawn to the X100
  • Fujifilm expects to keep the design of the X100 for at least ten more years, but they will try to add IBIS in the future if possible along with anything that cant be foreseen today
  • The X100 would likely need a completely new IBIS system designed from scratch
  • X100 is popular among older photographers, but younger ones like it in Japan
  • When the X100 was designed Fujifilm only had Finpix point and shoot cameras and Fujifilm had a lot of ideas, but they decided to go a classic route
  • Fujifilm started creating the first X100 in 2009 for release in 2011 to provide the best quality with good user experience in a stylish body that they could.
  • The hybrid viewfinder came about around halfway through the development of the X100, before that it was just going to be a window
  • X100 was based on legendary film cameras like the Leica M3 and Fujifilm TX
  • Vehicles, airplanes, and science fiction are big design influences outside of photography
  • Fujifilm’s standard approach to design is grounded in the technical limitations of today, but once a year they will spend time thinking about the future without considering current technical limitations, which sometimes end up in production
  • The modular GFX was thought of without consideration for current technical limitations and so was the X-Pro style GFX which became the GFX50R
  • Design of the X100V had fewer constraints than previous cameras
  • There were two main designs for the X100V one which was like the original X100 and another that became the X100V
  • X100 is about classic design, but it could be merged with something more modern
  • The X100 could have a more modern interface, but it wouldn’t be as intuitive
  • X100 is like playing instruments vs using garage band
  • Maybe X100 could be more AI-based, but its current controls are perfect for a photographer
