Zhongyi released a new affordable focal reducer for Canon FD Mount to Fujifilm X-Mount that has 4 groups of 4 focal reducer lenses that reduce the focal length to 0.725x. This is a second generation adapter from Zhongyi that was designed to sit closer to the image sensor to protect the mounted lens. This new design should provide a significant improvement in image quality compared to the first generation adapter. The diameter of the adapter is length 63 mm × 28 mm and it weighs about 140g.

I have to say I’m loving my Fujifilm X-T3 and how sticky the focus is, when shooting subjects in motion, even in low light, but this is the first time I have seen what looks like close to native performance out of an adapted lens on a Fujifilm camera. The Fringer AF smart adapter is expensive if you plan to adapt inexpensive Canon glass, but getting access to lenses like the Canon EF600/4L II makes the cost of the adapter very reasonable, especially if you’re going to get good tracking performance with high-end Canon glass on the Fujifilm X-T3.
The above is a crop from the video above showing how face tracking eye AF works with the Canon EF600/4L II on the Fujifilm X-T3 shooting at 11fps AF-C. The upcoming firmware 2.50 should make action photographers very happy because the Fujifilm X-T3 is great for capturing subjects in motion.

Sony updated their CMOS Image Sensors for Consumer Cameras and it now includes the 26mp BSI Fujifilm X-T3 sensor the IMX571. You might be able to find some additional details through Sony’s semiconductor page, but this update also makes me wonder about other APS-C cameras that might be coming out in the near future. The IMX271 could be used in a camera like the Sony a7000 and the new MFT sensors could be used in future Olympus/Panasonic bodies.
The page also shows the new Fujifilm GFX100S sensor the IMX461, which has a pixel pitch that matches the Fujifilm X-T3 now.

Photoscala is reporting that Net SE The Company Behind Meyer Optik Görlitz is insolvent, which is very bad news for people that financed their kickstarters and Indiegogos.
“On October 1, 2018, the insolvency proceedings have been opened on the assets of the company. Thus, it is also clear: lenses pre-financed by crowdfunding will no longer come and be delivered, and the money paid in will be lost.”
We previously reported in August that there was a good chance many Meyer Optik Görlitz lenses wouldn’t ship and now it looks like getting your money back will be next to impossible if you did not get your lens yet. B&H Photo still has some lenses that were actually produced, but don’t count on receiving anything from Kickstarter or Indiegogo.
As of this moment, Meyer Optik Görlitz’s website does not have details about the bankruptcy.
