This is the new 9-110mm f/2.8-5.6 lens patent for the Nikon 1 system
At Photokina Nikon debunked the rumor posted by Dpreview. The Nikon 1 system will continue to be developed and this is a brand new patent of a 9-110mm f/2.8-5.6 lens.
Fuji X100T discontinued. New X100F will be announced in early 2017
The X100T got marked as “discontinued” by Digitalrev (Click here). And according to Fujirumors the new X100F will be announced in early 2017.
The full focal length and aperture GFX lens to FF equivalence
Nobody did yet a real Full Frame equivalence of both the focal length AND aperture. So let me do this: The GFX lenses have a bit more than a 1/3 stop advantage. The below equivalence numbers are rounded:
23mm f/4.0 in Full Frame 18mm f/3.2
32-64mm f/4.0 in Full Frame 25-51mm f/3.2
45mm f/2.8 in Full Frame 36mm f/2.2
63mm f/2.8 in Full Frame 50mm f/2.2
110mm f/2.0 in Full Frame 87mm f/1.6
120mm f/4.0 in Full Frame 95mm f/3.2
Designed fast lenses for medium format is quite challenging as they tend to become very big. Based on those conversion I would definitely go for a 45mm lens and the 110mm lens. And you?

UPDATE: Thanks to Mike for the slightly corrected aperture info!
Where the Hasselblad X1D-50c still beats the new Fuji GFX…
Matt Granger posted that Hasselblad X1D-50c hands-on video. The last days we covered a lot of Fuji GFX news but we have to mention some of the strengths of the Hasselblad camera compared to the Fuji:
- It’s available now while the GFX will be available in no less than six months (or maybe more)
- The X1D-50c is a bit more compact than the Fuji
- The Hasselblad lenses do have leaf shutter
- The Hasselblad goes up to 25,600 ISO (1 stop more than the Fuji)
- That’s personal: Without having used the respective menus it looks like the Hasselblad menu is…nicer
Hasselblad sold more X1D cameras in 10 days, than they expected to sell in a year!

ePhotozine interviewed Hasselblad CEO Perry Oosting and here are few of the key info:
1) Hasselblad sold more X1D cameras in 10 days, than they expected to sell in a year.
2) Hasselblad has a roadmap of 5 additional XCD lenses for the X1D
3) About the GFX he says there is a size benefit to the X1D, as the lenses have the shutter built-in to them, rather than having the shutter in the camera. And he expects the price of the Fujifilm to be similar.
Actually Fuji stated the price will be lower. Under $10,000 with lens while the X1D body only costs $8,999 at BHphoto and Adorama. The lowest priced XCD 45mm lens costs $2,295. Total of camera+lens is $11,295.

Nikon manager says that FF mirrorless is “something we are considering”
Just a FF Nikon camera concept
In an interview with CameraJabber Jordi Brinkman, Nikon’s European Product Group Manager revealed a couple of interesting things:
- The Nikon 1 system isn’t dead! The lack of new products is only caused by the longer product life cycles than before
- When asked about the possibility of a Nikon FF mirrorless he says: “I’m not saying we’re announcing a full-frame mirrorless camera, but it’s definitely something we’re analysing a lot, looking at the market very closely; it’s on our radar.”
