Fuji launches the X-T4 mirrorless camera
On February 26, Fuji launched the X-T4, the most powerful high-end camera, in the form of an online release.
X-T4 combines the advantages and features of the X-H1, X-T3 launched in 2018, and the X-Pro 3 launched in 2019, making it the Fuji APS-C mirrorless camera with the strongest overall performance.
It uses the 5-axis anti-shake system of the fuselage that was first used on the X-H1, increasing the battery capacity, so the volume has reached 135×93×84 mm, and the weight of the fuselage has reached 607 grams, second only to X- H1.
Its 5-axis anti-shake system is smaller than X-H1 and has better performance. With most lenses, it can achieve the equivalent effect of increasing the shutter speed by 5.5-6.5. The lens does not support "dual anti-shake" when used together, and the anti-shake effect cannot be further improved.
It uses a new type of battery with a larger capacity and has a battery life of 600 cards. It can be used together with the built-in 2 batteries in the vertical shooting booster handle, you can continuously shoot 1700 shots. Its other functions are basically the same as X-T3 and X-Pro 3, but the performance has been improved.
For example, it can focus in low light as low as -6EV, which is much higher than X-T3's -3EV; the maximum tracking focus continuous shooting speed of 15 frames per second is also higher, and the shutter time lag is reduced to 0.035 seconds. The shutter sound has been reduced by 30%, and the shutter accuracy life is 300,000; it adds a new "bleached" film effect, with a total of 18 film effects. For
video, it can shoot 1080P video at 240fps, supports 4K video at 60fps, and can shoot F Log video and 4:2:2 video. The
camera comes in two colors, black and silver. It will be launched in April and the official domestic price is 11790 yuan.
Fuji also introduced special accessories for X-T4, including a booster handle and a charger that can charge two batteries at the same time.
Sony launches FE 20mm F1.8 G
On February 26, Sony launched a compact full-frame ultra-wide-angle fixed focus lens FE 20mm F1.8 G, which completes the lens group. The
lens weighs only 373 grams, the filter diameter is 67 mm, the closest focusing distance is 0.18 meters (in manual focus mode), and the magnification is 0.22 times. Compared with the Sony FE 24mm F1.4GM launched at the end of 2018, it is 72 grams lighter, has a smaller diameter and length, shorter focusing distance, and stronger close-up capabilities. It also uses a 67mm aperture filter and internal focus. Design, linear motor, using 2 aspherical lenses and 3 low-dispersion lenses, the lens barrel has an aperture ring, manual focus ring, auto/manual focus switch and auto focus stop button.
's maximum aperture and edge imaging are slightly inferior, but the official domestic price is 7,499 yuan, which is about 2,400 yuan cheaper than the Sony FE 24mm F1.4GM, and the price is good.

Metabones launches new adapter ring
Photographic accessory manufacturer Metabones recently launched the adapter ring NF-GFX mount Expander 1.26× that can be used to adapt Nikon F mount 35mm lenses to Fuji GFX mount medium format cameras.
It is made of aluminum alloy with an aperture ring and a detachable tripod mount. Since the image field of a medium format camera is larger than a 35 mm lens, it has a built-in optical lens group, which is a five-element three-group optical structure, including high-refractive-index lenses, to "enlarge" the image field. Therefore, the focal length becomes 1.26 times the original, and the aperture is reduced by 1/3 stop.
For example, a Nikon 24-70mm F2.8 lens is mounted on it, and the equivalent focal length becomes 30-88mm after the conversion, and the maximum aperture becomes F3.5. If an APS-C format Nikon DX or other brand lens is transferred to a Fuji GFX mount medium format camera through this adapter ring, there will be a strong halo, which is not recommended by the manufacturer. The
adapter ring is priced at US$519, which is approximately RMB 3628.
