CaptZoom Posted April 8, 2014 Share #21 Posted April 8, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Fuji officially stated that the XPro2 will not be released any time soon because they're waiting for a technological/technical breakthrough and not to expect one until 2015. Of course the "breakthrough" can refer to any number of things (organic, curved sensors, etc.). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Hi CaptZoom, Take a look here Full Frame Fuji X Pro 2 to be released in 2015 ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
woorob Posted April 8, 2014 Share #22 Posted April 8, 2014 Absolutely correct -- the Minox enlargers had a corresponding curved plane as well. Very clever indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucisPictor Posted April 8, 2014 Share #23 Posted April 8, 2014 Less than perfectly, O.K.? with Leica M mount lenses because of corner smearing. Only from 75mm upwards there were no problems, ... Sorry, but that is utter nonsense! Please, excuse my frank words. M-mount lenses work well on the Fuji X-series cams. Perhaps not as well as the original Fuji lenses, but sufficiently well for most purposes - and print sizes. I can't remember that I have ever looked at a 45cm x 30cm print from a 10cm distance, because that is what looking at images at 100% on your computer screen is like. That "severe corner smearing" is nothing but a myth born of copied "reports" by someone who probably had a faulty lens. ... according to trustworthy contributors in the German Systemkamera Forum. Have you tried M-lenses on Fuji cams yourself? Of course, at 100% size you will see some deterioration of image quality in the far corners. But nothing that is as annoying as those "tests" imply. I do own an X-E1 and an X-T1 and I have used those M39 & M-mount lenses on them: - Voigtländer Heliar 4.5/15 - Voigtländer Ultron 2.8/28 - Komura 2.8/35 - Leica Noctilux 0.95/50 - Voigtländer Heliar 2.5/75 - Leica Tele-Elmarit-M 2.8/90 - Leica TriElmar 4/28-35-50 NONE of those lenses was unusable! ALL of them performed pretty well with the X-Trans sensor - even the wide-angles. But I am willing to believe that there might be problems with a "fullframe" Fuji. Actually, I don't think that such a cam would be a good a idea. It would just be surrendering to the hype.

Guest Posted April 8, 2014 Share #25 Posted April 8, 2014 Indeed. Flat FF sensor on a thin body poses problems for wide and unltra wide angle lenses : as seen in Sony A7/R.Hence Sony have patented / are producing curved FF sensor. Fuji in partnership with Sony should avail of this curved FF sensor. The Montague and the Capulets would have produced great grand-children. Or do you foresee market consolidation there?

mjh Posted April 8, 2014 Share #26 Posted April 8, 2014 Fuji’s X-Trans sensors are manufactured by Sony and are based on standard Sony designs. Anyway, I don’t quite see a curved sensor in a system camera with interchangable lenses. There may be uses in camera units with a fixed lens and a curvature of field that is precisely matched by the curved sensor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted April 9, 2014 Share #27 Posted April 9, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) My uncle's Purmas had a curved film plane, so did my Brownie Cresta. In both cases to compensate for poor lens design I suspect, rather than in pursuit of excellence... Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMaber Posted June 13, 2014 Share #28 Posted June 13, 2014 But I am willing to believe that there might be problems with a "fullframe" Fuji. Actually, I don't think that such a cam would be a good a idea. It would just be surrendering to the hype. I think you're right, I think the rumours are just wishful thinking and I doubt very much Fuji will release a FF interchangeable lens camera. POSSIBLY a FF X100 - but even then its unlikely. Whats the benefit to Fuji? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJH Posted June 13, 2014 Share #29 Posted June 13, 2014 The most interesting rumour is the one which says they are making a digital MF rangefinder using the 50 Mp Sony sensor and body of the Fuji/CV medium format film camera. Given how they have marketed X trans it makes no sense at all for them to go full frame but a reasonable price compact medium format RF camera would be something really unique and special in todays world.

hamey Posted June 17, 2014 Share #30 Posted June 17, 2014 At this time I do use Fuji's full frame sensor, it's called Provia 100F film, and must say I am very happy with it, however as I do own both the Leica M240 and the Fuji X-T1 I must say I do like the X-T1 very much, but going by some of my results between these two fine cameras I still think that the X-T1 is not in the same class as the M240 for image quality. Two images straight out of these two cameras, I was just playing around with my new toy (M240) And must say very impressed with the M240. Ken. Welcome, dear visitor!
