LensRentals: Fujifilm X-T2 Video Explored

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 30, 2017

LensRentals has a good overview of the Fujifilm X-T2’s video capabilities on their site. Fujifilm’s new sensor is great for video and it is even better for 4k video. The available film simulation modes make capturing pleasing video fast and easy for amateur videographers.

What I Liked:
The 4K images produced are very sharp.
Build quality is great.
Even at the $1600 MSRP, this camera is a bargain.
It also makes for an outstanding stills camera.

What Could be Improved:
F-log could be more aggressive and added as an in-camera option.
Moiré shows up often and is even worse at 1080p.
Low light performance is adequate but could make this camera stand out if improved.
Video options are slim. Continuous AF tweaks would be nice to have.

Fujifilm X-T2 MirrorLessons Comparison

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 28, 2017

MirrorLessons has extensive coverage of the Fujifilm X-T2 on their site for those still wondering how the Fujifilm X-T2 stacks up. Their comparisons can be lengthy so grab some coffee and set aside a lot of time if you hope to get through them all.

Fujifilm X-T2 vs. X-Pro2
Fujifilm X-T1 vs X-T2

The other day Petapixel republished a deeply flawed article about X-Tran, that I was going to address, but decided it wasn’t worth the effort since commenters address almost all of the flaws quickly. You have probably read it already, but I think DPReview has the best thread about the flaws at this time.

There is also a pretty attractive offer for the Fujifilm X-T2. If you add a battery grip to your order with B&H Photo you can save $230 on the regular or graphite body, which makes the grip $100.

Fujifilm GFX 50S, AF-S Test and What’s Your Dream Camera?

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 26, 2017

Camera labs started their review of the Fujifilm GFX 50S. You can get access to their samples and written preview here at this time, which will eventually turn into their full review.

Other New Stuff
Zack Arias’ latest rant about wanting a GFX.
Michale Schnabl’s first impressions.
imaging-resource gives some more impressions on the GFX/X100F/X-T20. About the GFX “focus was quite quick for a medium format camera and only a bit slower than enthusiast full-frame DSLRs.”

Most of the other sites are just rehashing things we have already covered on FujiAddict or are giving opinions, too many to cover here. Below, you will find the first AF-S GFX test on the web, but I’m not sure what lens they are using for the test.

Please don’t forget to join our  GFX owners group and page for GFX related collaboration in addition to following FujiAddict on Facebook.

We also started a Poll to see which camera you would prefer if given a chance to own a free camera. The new Leica M or Fujifilm GFX. Both cameras are about the same price, but if you could own only one, which would you choose?

Fujifilm Add Color and X-Ray Film to Tumbler

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 25, 2017


Today I saw a surprising paid advertisement from FujiFilm promoting their color film on Facebook. So I looked around their tumbler, which was linked, and there was another post about their X-ray film and some classic lenses. It made me wonder if Fujifilm might be checking if there is interest in reviving classic Fujifilm lines like Kodak did with EKTACHROME and might do with Kodachrome, which was a favorite of mine.

I know a lot of colleges are going back to teaching photography with film, because digital is out of style among some groups. Maybe we are going to see a resurgence of film.
