By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 16, 2017


Real Nice Images (RNI) just released RNI Alll Film 4.0.4 for Lightroom and Photoshop ACR today and it’s a free update for current users. They added profiles for the Fujifilm GFX50S, X-A3, X-A10, X-T20 and X100F. You can get a copy here. Some might be getting “burnt out” with all the great Fujifilm news, but there is just so much to cover right now, so make sure you check out second page because page one has been filling up quickly.

What’s new in this version:
• You asked us to turn the film grain off by default. So we have turned it off. You can easily turn it back on by using RNI Toolkit for Lightroom and setting the desired level of film grain (ISO 100 – ISO 1600).
• The Fuji Pro 400H base preset has been updated for better tonal accuracy.

Also added support and customised profiles for the following new cameras:
• Fujifilm GFX 50S
• Fujifilm X-A3
• Fujifilm X-A10
• Fujifilm X-T20
• Fujifilm X100F

RNI All Films 4.0.4 comes as a free update to all the existing RNI All Films 4 – Pro and Lite customers.

Enjoy!

Fujifilm X100F DPReview Gold Award and More

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 16, 2017


The Fujifilm X100F received the coveted Gold Award from DRPreview today, because their is a lot to love about the X100F. If you have ever owned a X100 camera you know how great they are and if you haven’t you should pick one up.

ProsCons
  • Excellent image quality in Raw and JPEG
  • Sensational JPEG color
  • Ergonomics that match the classic looks
  • Hybrid viewfinder is delightful
  • Improved speed of focus and operation
  • In-camera Raw conversion and Wi-Fi
  • Bigger battery with percentage display
  • USB charging is convenient
  • Output of X-Trans sensor not to everyone’s taste
  • AF speed not up to contemporary standards
  • Face detection limited and unreliable
  • 1080p video seems outdated
  • ISO dial prettier than it is practical

You can read their full review here.

Additional Reviews
The Photo Fundamentalist (Part2) released a review of the Fujifilm X100F saying ” Image quality appears to be absolutely fantastic, not just from the lens, but the sensor (shared with the X-T2) is also really impressing me. I will do a separate piece on image quality from the X-Trans III sensor, but I’m certainly not feeling any real concern at this point in time.”

Photoreview gave the Fujifilm X100F a 8.8 overall saying “The increased resolution and improvements to performance – particularly buffer capacity – make the X100F a worthwhile update that should appeal to fans of Fujifilm’s rangefinder cameras.”

Macfilos writes a second take on the Fujifilm X100F with some good and bad this time.

Cambo Lens Adapter for Fujifilm GFX 50S

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 16, 2017


Today Cambo announced a new lens adapter to fit Canon lenses to the Fujifilm GFX50s.

The CA-GFX will be the third Canon lens adapter that Cambo have manufactured and marketed for camera movement. Having successfully adapted Canon lenses to the Cambo ACTUS (ACB-CA) and more recently the WIDE series camera (WRES-CA.) It was a natural transition to manufacture the adapter as it gives many photographers the option of using their existing lenses with the latest mirrorless, large sensor, Fujifilm GFX50s (CA-GFX.)

The CA-GFX adapter fits directly to the bayonet of the GFX camera body and the lens aperture is controlled electronically when dialing in the required f-stop. As there is no direct connection between lens and body, there is no data received; aperture, auto-focus or EXIF, from the lens.

Why make this lens adapter?
The Fujifilm GFX50s sensor measures 33x44mm and Canon lenses such as the 17mm T-SE and 24mm T-SE have very large image circles, they will cover the sensor size and will enable the photographer to apply movement.
