Fuji XPro-1 leask from Wells Fargo

Fuji have done it again – they are releasing an interchangeable-lens version of their wildly-successful X100.

 

The X Pro-1 is in black colour and is about the same body size as the X 100. There is an additional little window to let the AF system work and, of course, the lenses bayonet off.

Three lenses will be introduced with the body:
  • Fujinon 18mm f: 2...............Equivalent to 27mm in film terms
  • Fujinon 35mm f: 1.4............Equivalent to 53mm in film terms.
  • Fujinon 60mm f: 2.4............Equivalent to 90mm in film terms.
Recognise those focal lengths? Those are the classic three money-earners of 35mm film photography – all three are sure to be crisp and contrasty and will not impose any untoward optical distortion load on the viewer. This camera will be an absolute delight for street shooters and photojournalists.

16 megapixel sensor – EXR processor. RAW as well as jpeg. A boosted dual viewfinder that will give optical and electronic view of the new lens coverage – of course there is LCD display for close-up use.

BIG QUESTION – and we’ll find this out when we see the cameras – is that interchangeable lens mount to be a Fuji exclusive, or will it be a shared one...or will  third party manufacturers get in on the deal? Well, we’ll see...

We’ll let you know when the new cameras are in-store.

NB: All of the specs above were see on the Wells Fargo website.
