Fujifilm X100F Reviews and Recommended Settings

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 8, 2017

If you’re looking for a new perspective on the Fujifilm X100F StreetShooter did a great fully independent review of the Fujifilm X100F that is very fair. Amateur Photographer also compared the Fujifilm X100F to its predecessor and Bert Stephani did a bit of a gimmicky review of the X100F with a preproduction camera as a desert island camera. Reid also has an excellent review. I will continue to cover independent reviews as I come across them.

StreetShooter Written Review – Baby Fujifilm X-Pro2 that could use weather sealing.

Fujifilm X-T20 Reviews and Comparisons

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 7, 2017


Reviewers are universally praising the Fujifilm X-T20 for its incredible performance and value, but wish it was a little easier to grip. Fujifilm might even cannibalize some Fujifilm X-T2 sales, because of how well the X-T20 performers.

Photography Blog Review – Highly Recommended
Techradar – Packs quite a punch

Fujifilm GFX 50S Broncolor Siros S 800 HSS, Sample Videos, Canon 5DS R Comparison and More

Broncolor Siros S 800 performing HSS with a “mystery trigger.” This might just be first party support, since companies like Profoto just added support for Sony and it’s been rumored that Fujifilm support will follow shortly. There are some convoluted hacks to get high sync working using third party triggers, but I think first parties will release support before 3rd parties officially do, because reverse engineering flash communications is difficult.

Cheap M42 Manual Lenses Adapted for X-Mount and Maybe G-Mount

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 6, 2017

Roy Cruz put together a video discussing the joy of shooting adapted glass on X-mount cameras. Friends of mine swear by the Helios 44-2, which is a great lens for portraiture. You can even buy them with an adapter attached or buy your own adapter. Beyond Helios there are Jupiter lenses available that are great for the price, but there is a lot of old screw mount glass out there, you can see some of the M42 glass available on Amazon here. Roy’s rather nice collection only cost him $360 including adapters, which is quite affordable compared to modern glass.

The Fujifilm X-T2 and X-T1 are both great cameras for adapted glass thanks to their big electronic view finders. I greatly prefer the X-T2 EVF over any other EVF on the market at this time for shooting adapted glass and highly recommend owners try it. You could even try useing a Canon EOS (EF / EF-S) D/SLR Lens or Nikon Nikkor F Mount G-Type D/SLR Lens adapter for the Fujifilm GFX with a Fotodiox Pro M42 Type 2 Screw Mount Lens to Canon EOS or Fotodiox Pro M42 Type 2 Screw Mount SLR Lens to Nikon F Mount if you can’t wait until they have a single mount adapter. This is not the preferable way to adapt glass, but it has been known to work. A few users in our Fujifilm GFX Owners Group are experimenting with adapted glass already and some of the results are great.
