New Kipon Colibri Cine Lenses


The Kipon Colibri Cine lenses were announced a little bit ago for R, E, and L-mount, but there is no mention of X-mount. Yet a listing for Kipon Colibri Cine lenses for X-mount can be found on B&H Photo.

Fujifilm Logos Over The Years


Fujifilm released its logos over the years on its social media abroad, and I find it interesting that pretty much all of these logos have existed during my life except for one. There are actually two logos that predate my life, but the 1960-1980 logo existed close enough to my childhood that I may have seen it on some old new stock products. It’s interesting that Fujfilm changed up its logo so much during the 80s/90s, but only twice from 1934-1980.

It would be cool if they brought back the 1980-1992 logo for camera branding in the future because it is quite compact, and I think it would look cool on the front of a future classically designed Fujifilm X-Pro4.

SIRUI 1.25x Anamorphic Adapter: Amazon / B&H Photo

The SIRUI 1.25x anamorphic adapter is designed to turn any spherical lens into an anamorphic or increase the squeeze ratio of anamorphic lenses. This is a super budget-friendly anamorphic solution that will bring you tons of fun!

Best Value for Money

New Haida NanoPro X100 Accessories


Fujifilm X100V: B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama

The Haida NanoPro series of accessories was announced late last year, but it is only just being listed at retailers like B&H Photo. I doubt they are in a rush to get X100 accessories to market, considering the shortages, but the X100 remain a hot camera even though we should see an update coming soon.
