lucabutera Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 It is possible that I can build the smart speedbooster to make X-T3 camera Full frame with Canon lens. How many are interested in pre-order on crowdfunding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many are interested in pre-order on crowdfunding? I'm definitely interested if it is of good quality and works well. I wonder would the opersite be possible for the EF mount Super35 cameras, like the C200 or the similar video mode crop of the 1DXMk2?

IronFilm Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 It is impossible to use a focal reducer with an EF mount camera. (not unless you're going to adapt medium format lenses on to it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Hill Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Adorama is preparing mine for shipment. Free overnight is why i went with them instead of B&H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Hill Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Thought I'd share this...Abe's of Maine has the 18-55/2.8-4 for $345, new. It's now on its way to join up with my 35/1.4. I haven't ordered from them before but they are listed as an authorized dealer and I couldn't find any mention of grey market. Most of their prices are in line with everyone else but they have a few good deals. https://www.abesofmaine.com/Fuji_XF_18-55mm_f_2_8-4_R_LM_OIS_Zoom_Lens_1002922.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealOG Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Have you installed the newest firmware on the 35 1.4 Mattias? I looked at the Viltrox and the Fringer adapter when I had the X-H1... I think the fringer adapter worked very well with the 18-35 and X-H1, but at $300... That is pricey! X-T3 is on delay from Amazon, even though I preordered it... I'm still excited about it, even though I am not a fan of the 4gb file split...

I just posted that video as an example. From the tests I've seen the Viltrox is on par with the Fringer but for a lot less money. Im running some tests tonight to decide on keeping the XH1 or not. If I keep it I will order an EF-XF speedbooster as well. TheRealOG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBounce Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Got in the F2 trinity yesterday, and decided to add a 16mm F1.4 as everyone seems to agree that it is the best lens in Fuji lineup. Tomorrow should be fun ? Brian Williams and Kubrickian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted September 20, 2018 Super Members Share Posted September 20, 2018 Image quality wise I agree about the 16mm. But eventually I had to let it go. I kept using the tiny 18mm which is much faster and doesn't drift in manual focus. But you will probably be quite blown away by the IQ when it nails focus. Another extremely underated fuji lens is the 27mm. Coupled with the 18 on an X-E3 you have quiet a complete and compact kit. On the bigger X-T3 they might be a bit more odd.

Yes, thats why I originally went with them, but I don't know, maybe I ordered too late in their queue, didn't seem like my order was going to happen today with them.

I am very curious how this will fair against the GH5S. I might bring both along over the weekend to do a comparo. While I am betting the GH5/S will have the edge as a "video only" camera, I am thinking the Fuji will redeem itself with straight out of camera IQ and nostalgic charm... there is such a thing... I think? Stills will be dominated by the Fuji. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also curious, as I'm going from a GH5 to this, and knowing that I'll be losing the GH5's awesome IBIS, I went ahead and got a Feiyu gimbal for the Fuji. This will most likely mean having to rely on the camera's continuous AF as I doubt I'll be able to manually pull focus on it while gimbal'd-up. So curious to see how it does.

It will be interesting to hear some comments about GH5/s vs the X-T3. Definitely much better in the photo side of things.

I don't dislike the GH5S. These are both great cameras. I did opt for the battery grip with the Fuji. I like the option for shooting stills in portrait. 23 minutes ago, Brian Williams said: I'm also curious, as I'm going from a GH5 to this, and knowing that I'll be losing the GH5's awesome IBIS, I went ahead and got a Feiyu gimbal for the Fuji.

When it comes to IBIS, I have mixed feelings. Actually, they are not really mixed... I like IBIS for stills, but would prefer not to use if for video. I hate the warping that sometimes happens to footage when shooting video on cameras with IBIS. That said, I have a Ronin S, which should help with camera shake. I would like to see lens control from the Ronin S... I think there is a good chance it will happen for this camera. Kisaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi all - New member here. I am just a hobbyist who has been photographing for a while but new to videos and moving from a D5100. I am an AV aficionado so really wanted something capable of 4K 10 bit HDR internally for my own wedding and honeymoon. I learned of the X-T3 announcement through this forum as I was looking at my options. 4K 10 bit, 4K 60P, Fuji color profiles and the retro look that reminded me of my first camera (Nikon FM10) were instrumental in choosing the X-T3 over the A7III. I was told by Adorama that the camera/lens will ship today even though the battery grip is backordered. Look forward to playing with it and will share raw videos as soon as I can.
