ON1 Photo RAW 2017.1 Adds Support for Fujifilm GFX 50s, X100F, X-T20 and X-A3

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 4, 2017

ON1 Photo RAW 2017.1 was released on schedule Monday along with a lot of improvements. I’m curious how it handles GFX files compared to Lightroom and X-Transformer. In recent months I have been contacted by a few small RAW developer companies adding Fujifilm support, but I’m pretty sure that most of them are using an open source solution for their X-Trans implementation, because it’s not an easy algorithm to fine tune. The market is almost getting over saturated.

Full Release Notes

ON1 Photo is the lightning fast photo organizer, raw processor, layered photo editor and effects app all-in-one. Unlike the current class of raw processors requiring cataloging, bouncing between apps for editing, and a subscription ecosystem, ON1 Photo features a new, modern raw processing engine, tuned for today’s sensors and graphics chips. Combined with our current set of tools, the next generation of ON1 Photo 10, will continue to work where you want, as a standalone app, a plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® & Lightroom®, or a host app for other editing apps.

DPReview: Fujifilm GFX 50S vs Hasselblad X1D Studio Scene

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 3, 2017


DPReview added the Hasselblad X1D to their Studio Scene comparison today. The high ISO results are pretty surprising IMO and it’s also interesting that DPReview cites photonstophotos.net in their first impressions. DXO Mark better watch out or start including Fujifilm cameras in their results, because photonstopphotos is an excellent resource. Comparisons between the Hasselblad X1D and Fujifilm GFX 50s are going to be interesting going forward, because they don’t have any similar glass at the moment and the Hasselblad isn’t designed to accept adapted glass. The battle for medium format supremacy is going to be a long and interesting one. you can see the DPReview results here.

Fujinon MK 18-55 T2.9 Cine Coming Soon

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 3, 2017

The Fujinon MK 18-55 T2.9 is coming to X-Mount soon and many cinematographers/videographers can’t wait. The MK will be the first X-Mount cinema lens and should help the X system seriously compete with Sony’s a7 and a6xxx cameras. It’s a shame they didn’t launch the X and E-mount lenses together, but hopefully this will lead to more native cinema glass in the near future. There is also the possibility that the lenses release was held for a FS5/FS7 competitor since the lens was designed for that class of camera and might be a little over kill for the Fujifilm XT2/XT20.

Red Shark News – “Overall, optical performance is good or very good as it should be given the modest 3:1 zoom range. The minimum aperture can be used without reservation.”

The Fujifilm Designer Series XF50/35/23 f/2 R WR

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 3, 2017


The Fujifilm Designer Series is an excellent value, but Fujifilm hasn’t been using the branding since they first mentioned it here. Now that all three lenses are widely available it would be really cool if Fujifilm sold a special package of all three lenses with an XPro2 using the Designer Series branding.

Fujinon XF50 F2 R WR
FStoppers – “”wow.” The images that come out of this lens are sharp, contrasty, and have smooth out of focus areas.”
f16.click – ” I’m quite smitten by the Fujifilm 50mm F2″
admiringlight – “The 50mm f/2 provides great value and high-end imaging in a small package, and continues Fuji’s excellent reputation for creating quality optics.”
jonasraskphotography – “For the 3rd time in a row, I can say that the Fujinon lenses deliver stellar quality no matter what focal length they seem to get involved in making. I really love how this lens treats the transitions between in focus and out of focus. It reminds me of my old Leica Summilux 50mm f/1.4. It has a softness, yet sharpness that brings a very organic look to the images.”

Fujinon XF35 F2 R WR
FStoppers – “With the extra sharpness and 9 rounded aperture blades, it is a worthy replacement for the f/1.4 version.”
f16.click – “Wide open, the lens has a gorgeous look to the images, and I personally think the bokeh is very pleasing.”
admiringlight – “The XF 35mm f/2 R WR is a lens that makes life difficult for Fuji users, because it provides better optical quality, better autofocus and better construction than the more expensive f/1.4 lens, but loses a stop of light.”
jonasraskphotography – “Is it sharp? YES… Does it have great bokeh? YES… Does it have microcontrast? YES… Does it render like the 35mm f/1.4? YES, and more!…”

Fujinon XF23 F2 R WR
FStoppers – “I found myself really impressed with the it’s performance and versatility.”
f16.click – “The speed is incredible.  And I mean incredible to the point that sometimes I have to wonder if in fact the AF has done anything.”
admiringlight – “For the cost of the lens, I think it’s a good buy and an easy lens to recommend, but those seeking the best 35mm equivalent for Fuji will likely want to save up for the 23mm f/1.4.”
jonasraskphotography – “The 23mm f/2 WR is sharp and has great bokeh through the entire aperture range.”

Future Fujifilm GFX 100S Sensor Verified and More GFX 50S Adapted Glass

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 3, 2017

Sony released a document verifying the Senosors we spotted the other day for a future Fujifilm GFX camera. So the details of the future Fujifilm GFX sensor is a known now, lets hope the Fujifilm GFX100 becomes a thing. At the very least we know the Fujifilm GFX 100S will live up to Fujifilm’s hype. Since the new sensor incorporates BSI and more modern technologies than the current GFX sensor. A two year life cycle for the GFX system wouldn’t be too bad and is pretty typical for cameras in this class.

The Last Word – Hasselblad HC 80/2.8 and HC 50-110/3.5-4.5 on Fuji GFX

The Phoblographer – Updated First Impressions “What I am very sure about is that lots of Hasselblad X1D pre-order makers  may want their money back and could flock to this.”
