Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra-Macro X-Mount Adapter and Ring Light: Updated

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 26, 2018


Venus Optic released the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra-Macro a while ago, but not for X-Mount. So I haven’t posted about this lens here, but now Venus Optics sells the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra-Macro with an X-Mount adapter on their site. I noticed the adapter when looking at their new ring light for the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra-Macro that was announced today in advance of their new macro lens the Laowa 24mm f/14 (UPDATED: Coming Aug. 1st on Kickstarter). Venus Optics is certainly creating some interesting Macro products for all of us after releasing the extremely wide Laowa 9mm f/2.8 ZERO-D.

Fujifilm X-T100 Brown and Graphite/Dark Silver

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 25, 2018

It looks like Asia is either getting some special cameras or resalers are modifying them. Shortly after the X-A5 Graphite photos surfaced I was contacted with these two cameras an X-T100 Brown (here) and Graphite (here) that google translate calls dark silver.

Markus Klinko Behind The Scenes

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 25, 2018

Markus Klinko’s 2000’s exhibit is about to wrap up at the Mouche Gallery in Beverly Hills, but there is still a lot of press about the event to be found. Our original announcement has more information about the event, which is about to end, but if you can’t make it check out some of the press. Markus has always used Fujifilm products to get the best quality possible out of his prints and he is now a big fan of the Fujifilm GFX, which is currently on sale if you’re interested having the best image quality possible for under 10k.

DPR: Fujifilm X-T100 Review

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 24, 2018


DPReview finished reviewing the Fujifilm X-T100 and the camera did respectably well considering its price point. You can read the full review here, but in short, the Fuji X-T100 is not a snappy camera capable of keeping up with moving subjects and don’t expect useful 4k footage. It’s just a good all-around starter camera with exceptional image quality at its price point.

Pros

  • Excellent JPEG quality
  • Sensor has low noise at high ISOs
  • Unique LCD design tilts and flips outward
  • Well-built for the price
  • Built-in 2.36M-dot OLED EVF
  • Third dial encourages experimenting with Film Simulation modes
  • Great battery life
  • USB charging
  • Grip included

Cons

  • Poor autofocus for moving subjects
  • Poor face detection performance
  • Laggy interface
  • Noticeable delay between pressing video record button and start of capture
  • Default JPEG sharpening a bit high
  • Limited customization
  • Poor video quality (4K and 1080p)
  • 4K/15p video not a serious feature
  • Buffer fills quickly when shooting Raw bursts
  • Touchscreen can’t be used for Q Menu
  • Slow and clunky Multi Focus feature
