Could you shoot full sensor with an anamorphic lens and crop though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaconda_ Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Awesome, looks like a cool update. Looks like there could be more in the update that's been blacked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrothersthre3 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Holy cow! -3ev to -6ev, that is huge! If it really works at -6ev it will be the best performing AF on the market. Classic Neg is exciting too. Geoff CB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new AF in the A7RIV is way better. So to answer your question, no, XT3 doesn’t have a great AF, people happy with it have never tried Canon DPAF or latest Sony AF. Yeah, well your past posts have shown a bias against Fuji; I’ve owned both the A7iii as well as the X-T3 (I’ve got full-blown gear acquisition syndrome, though it’s true that I do tend to skip Canon due to their sensors always scoring lower than Sony-made sensors) and the idea that the X-T3’s AF is somehow subpar is ridiculous. No, it’s not dual pixel, as I said, but yes, it is as good as Sony’s. If you want to disagree with almost everyone here and almost every reviewer out there, I won’t stop you.

I think the A73 is better but not by a lot. Also the A73 auto focus is very very good. Just because there is better doesn't make the A7III's bad. Its like saying the Panasonic S1H sucks because the Arri Alexa has a better image. Anyways this new auto focus update is crazy if true.

MrSMW Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I have never tried a Sony A7anything but find that so many internet reports in regard to Fuji this or that are down to user error such as simply relying on the straight out of box set up and never bothering to fine-tune the set up. Is the Sony (and Canon) AF better than Fujis? Probably but not by as big a margin now as some older or flawed reports would suggest. But as I say, not had a Sony to compare to and the XT3 performed really well all last year at over 25 weddings with no issues. No overheating, no AF problems and no anything negative that NON REGULAR USERS/OWNERS tend to state. And I am not a Fuji 'fan boy' for the sake of being one, just someone for whom they have been producing the best tools for my specific needs in recent times. I could flip to anything else I desired (within financial reason) any time but choose not to for a reason and that reason being actual real world regular use. Just sayin' 😝 Juank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I shot Fuji for pro work during 2 years. In my experience the AF results were really dependant on two things: the glass used & the available light. I like to shoot with fast glass and that was always a problem, but more dependant on the lens design then cameras AF. I'd really like it if Fuji redesigned their fantastic 23mm F1.4, 35mm F1.4 & 56mm 1.2mm primes for video AF. Those lenses weren't made with video in mind as Fuji bodies hardly shot any video at the time those were released. If I were to enter Fuji system again today, I would probably acquire the F2 WR lenses, but I already know they aren't close to having the mojo of their faster older lenses..

Well yes to the former and latter anyway... Currently with the 23mm f2 and 50mm f2 because they are so much better for (AF) video, albeit I'd prefer the f1.4 and f1.2 versions for stills. As a hybrid shooter though, I have to compromise (because carrying and changing extra lenses is a no no for me) and it's not a bad compromise at all. I really hope Fuji give these old warhorses a tweak soon because if they can make them better for video, I probably would trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazeballs Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I am all waiting for Viltrox 1.4 primes, if they are OK in terms of quality and AF I will most likely grab them along with XT-4. I don't need them to be the sharpest ever or something, just good enough. In terms of price and weight they are already very good judjing from published specs. Slapping 23 1.4 with XT-4 on a gimbal should be a very pleasant experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaconda_ Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Does anyone know the expected size of the Viltrox lenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazeballs Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 The weight of 23 1.4 and 33 1.4 should be 270 grams while 56 1.4 expected to be 290 grams. So, based on its weight we can expect them to be quite compact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaconda_ Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Nice thanks, The 85mm is anything but compact, I understand why, but though maybe they'd keep a similar size for the other lenses. I feel like Sigma tend to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Sigma tend to do that. 85 was made for FF originally they just swapped the mount. Those lenses on the other hand are build for APC-S from the start.

Carz Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Fuji's lenses are what frustrate me the most. They have it backwards. Fast expensive primes: loud, slow focus, not weather sealed. Slower primes: weather sealed, faster focus, not as fun to use and look ridiculous with my large filters. Ultrawide zooms: either don't take filters, or aren't weather sealed. The 14mm 2.8 and the 23mm 1.4 both with the manual focus clutch would be an awesome 2 lens setup for video if they were updated. 14mm on a x-t30 with a gimbal, and the X-T4 with 23mm for handheld. My hope is fuji have been quiet about the lens roadmap because they don't want to hurt current lens sales by announcing too far in advance that updated lenses are coming in 2020 Geoff CB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokishita is an excellent source, but sadly only for short term rumors. Fujirumors leaked 80% of the X-T4 specs before nokishita for example, and is better in long term rumors.

Dpreview also start posting rumors too but I think they are probably more reliable as they tend to get actual products before public announcement, so if the rumor site post spec pretty close to what they getting on hand they tend to post it too, and because they just relink the rumor they are not breaking the NDA lol.

Simon Young Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 https://www.fujirumors.com/fujifilm-x-t4-press-release-leaked/ Sadly no information on whether the X-T4 uses an updated X-processor 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
