Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R vs Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R APD

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 11, 2017

If you’re a little confused about the difference between the Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R and Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R APD Zed ProMedia has made it really simple to understand the difference. I personally own the Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R because I like that PDAF works with it and I utilize the extra light gathering capability, but I can appreciate why people might want to buy the APD for slightly creamier bokeh. The reviewer says he finds it slow, but it hasn’t been slow for me on my Fujifilm X-T1/X-Pro2/X-T2, but I’m not sure what settings he’s using. This is a snappy lens for it’s speed.

Iridient X-Transformer 1.0 beta 1 Tested

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 10, 2017


Iridient developer is considered by many to be key to X-Trans image quality excellence (Fujifilm X-T2, X-Pro2, X-T1, X-T10, etc….). It is known for providing additional sharpness and avoiding the “worm/water color” effect that some people see when processing their RAW files in Lightroom. So, does Iridient transformer beta 1 deliver?


Iridient Transformer 1.0 beta 1 - More Detail - X-T2 ISO 200

Yes, and no… I’m a Mac user for my creative work, so I could have switched to Iridient Developer years ago, but I greatly prefer Lightroom. I never found Iridient Developer very convenient for my workflow so I haven’t used it in a very long time. I like to work across my multiple Apple devices using Lightroom and other products that sync my work through iCloud. I was pretty happy with Lightroom, and very happy with the last update that greatly improved X-Trans support, but I have always wanted to give Iridient a try again. Read More »

Fujifilm GFX 50S AF Points Exposed and Compared

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 6, 2017


A few readers have asked me about how many AF points the Fujifilm GFX 50S will have and now we kind of have an answer. The Joshua Loh video that was just released makes the amount of selectable AF points pretty easy to count and the coverage is easy to see. The way Joshua Loh has his GFX setup, there is a 13×9 grid (117 points) with a distinct area within consisting of a 7×7 grid (49 points). This is very interesting because a contrast detect autofocus system (CDAF) is, generally speaking, very flexible. All 117 points should perform similarly, but Fujifilm might be doing something similar to Panasonic with their CDAF, by utilizing out of focus rendering, in addition to the contrast at the selected focal point, to speed up their CDAF system; but only in the middle 7×7 gird, which is one possible explanation for the slightly different points around the middle. I don’t want to get too technical, but Fujifilm should be able to add or reduce CDAF points at will because they are arbitrary on a CDAF system and the processor they are using is pretty powerful.
