Product Highlights
The full frame LTM SLR Magic Hyper Prime is one of my favorite lenses of all time and it’s a shame they no longer sell them new, but now that the GFX has a 35mm mode with firmware 3.0 the Hyper Prime is a great option for the Fujifilm GFX. Of course, you can use it without the 35mm mode and crop the image by hand to get rid of the vignetting, but 35mm mode will save you some time. When this lens came out most held it above the Leica Noctilux 0.95, which was twice the price and I am very disappointed that I never managed to keep one in my permanent collection before they discontinued production because I love the look of 0.95.
Below it’s interesting to note that a Hasselblad fan finds the Hasselblad X1D so bad that he’s abandoning the system for the Fujifilm GFX. I have read about the X1D improving a lot lately, but it sounds like the shutter lag is still quite bad. Hasselblad might want to get a move on the Hasselblad X2D if they want to survive.

DPReview published their full Fujifilm X-H1 review and gave it a silver award, which is below what the Fujifilm X-T2 received. If you’re wondering why it’s largely because the photography market has changed since the launch 0f the Fujifilm X-T2. There is a lot of competition at the price point of the Fujifilm X-H1. If you want to know more you can read the full review here or you can just check out the pro/cons below.

The Fujifilm X-A5 is a great value and the Fujinon XC 15-45mm F3.5-5.6 OIS PZ is a great lens to pair with it, but digitalrev does have a few complaints about this camera that they seem to think is marketed toward hipsters. The Fujifilm X-A5 and accompanying lens are very plasticy or as digitalrev says fisher price like. This shouldn’t be surprising considering the price point, but they do seem to perform well together except when shooting video.
When using the Fujinon XC 15-45mm for video the lens is noisy and shutters while zooming slowly. Watch the video to see how the XC 15-45 performs and for more examples of how well the camera performs. Those looking to pick up a Fujifilm X-A5 shouldn’t expect X-E/X-T camera build quality or XF lens build quality, but it the X-A5 will produce excellent X-system photos that will hold their own.
