The Fuji GF670 is back in Stock at Bhphoto. This is a rare chance to get one of the best cameras ever made. I know it’s a film camera a not digital. But I do own the Mamiya 7 and I still enjoy every second with it. No digital camera can beat that 6x7cm image quality.
There is a new Kickstarter project for a “convertible” lens system:
The Neptune Convertible Art Lens System consists of a lens base that’s mounted to your camera and several convertible lens components. By interchanging the front components, you can shoot photos or videos at three different fixed focal lengths — 35mm, 50mm and 80mm. An Art Lens System unlike any other; it offers you all the freedom of a zoom lens without compromising on prime lens quality, and it’s the only convertible Art Lens out there to work with a range of modern-day analogue and digital cameras. Each component is assembled by using the finest multi-coated glass and crafted to produce exceptionally sharp focus and strong, saturated colors for stunning high-definition images — even when you’re shooting close-ups at 0.25m/9.8” with Thalassa (35mm), 0.4/15.7” with Despina (50mm) or 0.8m/31.5” with Proteus (80mm). This is an Art Lens System that lets you take beautifully intimate shots, allowing you to get near enough to capture every last detail of your subject. And because it’s so small and lightweight design, you can take it with you everywhere.

Cool!
Sony A9 will ship by end of May at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, Calumet.de. Park UK. Wex UK. Jessops.
The A9 rumble is still ongoing on the web. But it seems like Sony is not done yet and we are receiving hints about another announcement coming soon. Probably within the next 4-6 weeks Sony will announce some new E-mount lenses and probably one new camera too. We got no solid info about possible specs but so more in general some of this stuff might be announced soon:
16-35mm f/2.8 GM (very likely)
new RX camera
new 135mm FE lens
What’s definitely NOT coming yet is a new A9r or a new A7III.
So what’s coming next for the MFT folks?
So far that’s all we know!
There is the Megapixel race, the High ISO race and in those days the talk is all about frames per second race. The Sony A9 killed the headlines with the amazing 20fps shooting without blackout.
But just for fun…did you ever wonder what’s the fastest camera on earth? Well here it is:
A research group at Lund University in Sweden has developed a camera that can film at a rate equivalent to five trillion images per second, or events as short as 0.2 trillionths of a second. This is faster than has previously been possible.
We got two new Fuji rumors:
One more Fuji rumors: Do you know that Fuji has one more BIG camera announcement by end of this year or early 2018 at max? it’s the High End X-T camera trimmed for speed and video. Well this camera will also feature a new X-Trans sensor!
