Medium Format Sigma Glass

It sounds like lots of photographers are asking Kazuto Yamaki and Sigma to make glass for the Fujifilm GFX. Hopefully we get t some quality Sigma glass for GFX sooner rather than later.

Q: Have you guys considered making any optics for the Fuji GF system or like a larger sensor medium format system?

G: Okay, so a question about future roadmaps related to Fuji GFX systems.

K: Yes, I do personally. My vision for the company’s future is to become the number one optics brand or “master of optics”. In order to become such a premium brand, we need to make such – really, really good lenses for that format. So, I would like to challenge. (Sigma)

Sigma Lenses can be purchased from B&H Photo and Amazon.

First Fujifilm X-M5 Promotional Video Posted With Lots of Screen Captures

A video affiliated with the Fujifilm X-M5 launch was posted to Instagram and has since been pulled, which gives us our first good look at the Fujifilm X-M5. I came across the video earlier and downloaded a copy of it before it was pulled, but I have been busy dealing with real-world Florida stuff. The new Fujifilm X-M5 looks a little more compact than the X-E line of Fujifilm cameras and it has a very disappointing PSAM dial. The video seems to show off the camera’s ability to continuously shoot, utilize film simulations, and record video.
