Interesting Fujifilm View Finder Patent Found


A reader sent me an interesting patent that I did my best to translate. It looks like Fujifilm is working on making a more compact higher magnification viewfinder that works with LCD’s.  It was filed last month so it will probably be a while until we see it in a production product, but you can read more about it below if you like to read translated patents.

The present invention relates to a finder optical system and an imaging apparatus. Read More »

New Venus Optics Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2X Macro Coming Soonish


Laowa has a new APS-C 65mm f/2.8 2X Macro coming before the end of this year or early next year depending on development. It will be available for Fujifilm X Mount, Sony E-Mount, and Canon M. It should be the next lens we see from Laowa for Fujifilm after the excellent 17mm f/4 that I tested for launch last month. Their 17mm f/4 and 9mm f/2.8 are two of my favorite third party lenses for Fujifilm cameras at this time. Laowa lenses are available from Venus Optics/ B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

NOVOFLEX Automatic Bellows For X-Mount Coming Mid-September


NOVOFLEX is expanding its product portfolio
Automatic Bellows

Bellows have been part of NOVOFLEX’s core range since 1969 – the year of the first moon landing – and are used by macro photographers worldwide. From now on, users of the camera systems Canon EOS, Canon EOS-R, Fujifilm X, L-mount (Leica, Panasonic, Sigma), MicroFourThirds (Olympus, Panasonic), Nikon Z and Sony E-Mount with the proven NOVOFLEX automatic -Balgengeräte immerse yourself in the fascinating world of close and macro photography.

It does not get any more convenient because all control information between the camera and the lens is transmitted. Already with the camera lenses, image scales of 1: 1 and larger can be realized. The ideal solution is the high-resolution, apochromatically corrected Apo Digitar 4.5 / 90 mm objective head (order code: FLEX-APO-DIGI90) from Schneider Kreuznach, which allows focusing from 1: 1 to infinity. Since the new automatic bellows units are perfectly integrated into the NOVOFLEX “modular system”, there is nothing standing in the way of later upgrading to the use of manual lenses. In addition, the lenses can also be used in retro position on the bellows devices. NOVOFLEX also has the corresponding close-up adapter in its extensive product portfolio.

Furthermore, the new automatic bellows units are also of interest for cameras with internal stacking function, as now also image scales over 1: 1 can be realized.

Camera system order code

Canon EOS BAL-EOS

Canon EOS-R BAL-EOSR

Fujifilm X BAL-FUX

L-Mount BAL-LET

MicroFourThirds BAL-MFT

Nikon Z BAL-NIKZ

Sony E-Mount BAL-NEX

The automatic bellows devices are available from mid-September and cost 799, – Euro (RRP). The FLEX-APO-DIGI90 is available at an EIA of € 1,099.00.
