Michael Goldrei’s Chromorama Now Available

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 23, 2018

Budapest 2016

I met Michael Goldrei a few years ago shortly before starting the Addict sites while working with Leicarumors at the Miami Street Photography Festival, and over the years we have kept in touch. We spent most of that first night talking about the various cameras that we love to use and our philosophies about photography. We were both big fans of Fujifilm and Leica so we kept in touch.

He has a unique eye and I have enjoyed following his carrier since. Today he is releasing his first book and some of the special editions are particularly tempting if you’re a collector of photo books. You can read more about Chromorama and it’s Author below, but if you’re interested in being featured on FujiAddict feel free to reach out and you could be featured here too. We try to support readers in every way that we can so I hope you enjoy some of the photos Michael has shared with us.

First Fujinon XF16-80mm f/4 and XF16mm f/2.8 Images Surface

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 21, 2018


DC.Watch shared some of the first photos of the Fujinon XF16-80mm f/4 R LM OIS WR and Fujinon XF16mm f/2.8 R WR. The XF16mm f/2.8 looks like it is based on the styling and size of Fujifilm’s current f/2 lineup of lenses, while the new XF16-80mm f/4 looks very much like the current kit lens the XF18-55mm f/2.8-f/4.

The mockups are generally very accurate and were shown along with the announcement of the Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR, Fujinon XF 200mm f/2 OIS WR Lens w XF 1.4x TC F2 WR and new roadmap. They didn’t have a mock-up of the Fujinon XF 33mm f/1 R WR at the event though, but we should see one soon, maybe at Photokina 2018.

Fujinon XF200mm f/2 v Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM v Sigma 300mm f/2.8 EX APO DG HSM

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 21, 2018


Fujifilm is rounding out their system now with some very interesting specialty lenses, but how does their latest Fujifilm XF200 compare? Camerasize.com gives us a look at how their sizes match up, but how about their weight? I decided to compare the Canon 5D Mark IV and Nikon D750 with 300mm f/2.8 glass to the Fujifilm X-H1 with XF200 attached and the breakdown is below.

Fujifilm X-H1
Dimensions: 5.5 x 3.8 x 3.4″ / 139.8 x 97.3 x 85.5 mm
Weight: 1.48 lb / 673 g with battery and memory card
Fujinon XF200
Filter Thread: 105mm
Dimensions: Approx. 4.80 x 8.07″ / 12.2 x 20.5 cm
Weight: 4.98 lb / 2.26 kg
Total Weight:6.46lbs / 2.93 kg

Canon 5D Mark IV
Dimensions: 5.9 x 4.6 x 3.0″ / 150.7 x 116.4 x 75.9 mm
Weight: 1.76 lb / 800 g body only
Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM
Filter Thread: 52mm drop in
Dimensions: Approx. 5.04 x 9.76″ / 128 x 248 mm
Weight: 5.29 lb / 2.4 kg
Total Weight: 7.05 lb / 3.2 kg

Nikon D750
Dimensions: 5.5 x 4.4 x 3.1″ / 140.5 x 113.0 x 78.0 mm
Weight: 1.65 lb / 750 g body only
Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM
Filter Thread: Rear 46mm
Dimensions: Approx. 4.7 x 8.4″ / 11.94 x 21.34 cm
Weight: 5.28 lb / 2.39 kg
Total Weight: 6.93 lb / 3.14 kg

The Fujifilm pair wins all around and if you use higher end Nikon or Canon cameras the size and weight only goes up. Where as with Fujifilm you can always use the smaller X-T2 to get similar performance or even a camera like the X-T20 if you want to maximise your size/weight. The Fujinon XF 200mm f/2 R LM OIS WR, should also be great on the upcoming Fujifilm X-T3.
