Lensrentals: Fujifilm Makes Progress in 2019 Most Popular Photography and Videography Rentals



Lens Rentals deals with a pretty substantial portion of the photography rental market and they released their 2019 data. Fujifilm has slowly gained on the competition over the years and I’m sure GFX has played a roll in their continued growth. While demand for Fujifilm isn’t what it is for the competition it consistently grows year over year. Fujifilm’s overall share of Lensrentals’ market grew from 3.74% to 4.14% in 2019.
