Fujifilm X-Pro1 details leaked!!!

Looking at your photos, I don't see how you could do without either the 28 and the 90 (efov). I think after those two, you could probably do best with the 40/2.8 pancake. Now, if budget is a concern, I'd say you start with the 28, as it seems to be your main mileage lens. After that, maybe one of the zooms will work for you.

But y'know, there's no rush on this.

thanks. :) yeah, i could really use both but i will be straining to afford the body + 1 lens. :( you might be right, maybe i should go for the 18/27mm and hold out for a zoom (or for a macro)... you're right, there really is no rush. i'll just have to have patience for the 2nd lens. :eek:

Olympus is indeed busy, but they still need to make money. ;) it's official, Olympus will be announcing a new camera line on Feb. 8th prior to attending CP+ in Japan. supposedly a digital OM will be unveiled. :D

Listening to her, it seems they have some mighty specific plan for the M adapter.

Because the lens can go so deep into the body, would it be possible that the adapter will have the electrical contact built-in to the X mount AND it will read in mechanically the focus distance and the frame line (focal lens)?

I'm thinking that its adapter will at least tell which framelines to bring up in the OVF. I'm not sure if that is by dialing in your focal length on the adapter or by offering different adapters for different focal lengths. However, after readin what I just wrote, it may just be wishful thinking.

I agree! THat would make the adapter more complex and more expensive, it would be far simpler just to dial in the lens focal length, then hopefully one can keep that setting as a favourite.

Ah yes... good thing I don't design cameras. :eek:

Yeah, Ricoh had a real chance to design something clever for the M mount lenses (reading focal lens, and mechanical/electrical hybrid focusing coupling) for their M module....
But in the end it looks like they didn't spend a second trying to innovate in that regard.

I dont mind paying big bucks for a smart adapter, but yeah, it's unlikely that's what fuji would do.
 
why isn't the shutter there when they remove the lens????so the shutter comes down, releases, comes down, and releases again for every photo?
 
sorry, i was referring to the shutter behavior in the video prior to my post. i am asking why they don't have the shutter close when the lens is off in the video. there should be something to protect the sensor while you are changing lenses.

In one of the Fujiguys videos, they directly address the M-mount questions. There are programmable functions in the menu system to indicate favorite focal lengths and save the framelines. Does not look like it will be on a "detected" basis, but rather the user will have to manually switch the framelines in the menu system for each lens change. Then again, this camera is not specifically designed for other system lenses, it's just nice that they are including us. It will be interesting to see how they deal with their longer focal lengths in later lens releases.

I don't know of any mirrorless that does this, but it's a good idea.

Looks like digitalintrigue is right. The EVF is enabled in that video, so the shutter has to be open. Had they had the OVF enabled, you should not have been seeing the shutter open prior to the shutter being released. And this might be a pre-production issue just for demonstration purposes. I wonder if we'll see that fix in the final production models.

I may be mistaken, but I don't believe the shutter closes when the OVF is selected, at least on the x100. I haven't seen anything about the XPro-1 about this, so I would doubt it works this way, either.

I may be mistaken too, none of us will really know until we get to physically handle a production model.

It's always open regardless of the VF mode. Need it for AF and metering

Because there is no way for the camera to 'Know' if there is a manual lens attached to it. (the electrical contact does not function there). So it should remain open for things like metering, focus aid, etc.

It would be a nice idea though, to have built in a small switch on the lens release button and shut the shutter to protect the sensor when nothing is mounted.

That sounds fine to me... thanks.
