Fujifilm Financial Results for Q3 FY2021


As a result of strong sales of new instant photo systems and digital cameras, which were launched in succession, and also the steady sales recovery of color photographic paper and broadcast and cinema lens from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, revenues increased by 19.0% year-over-year to ¥260.2 billion, and operating income increased 2.5 times year-over- year to ¥34.7 billion.

In the consumer imaging field, steady sales of instant photo systems and dry minilabs/ materials for retailers in the U.S. drove revenue higher. New products launched in 2021 include the instax mini 40, the instax series’ new entry-model, which supports the mini-format film in April, the instax Link WIDE smartphone printer, which supports wide-format film, in October and a flagship model instax mini Evo in December. All new products were well received in the market and boosted sales.

In the professional imaging field, new digital cameras all gained a high reputation and sales remained strong, including the large-format mirrorless digital camera FUJIFILM GFX100S, which realized the highest resolution of 100 million pixels, the FUJIFILM GFX50S II, equipped with 50 million-pixel image sensor, released in September 2021 as a brother model, and the FUJIFILM X-T30 II mirrorless camera, which is the latest model from the X Series released in November 2021. Revenue was significantly higher than the previous year as sales of broadcast and cinema lenses, which had been hit by a decline in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, turned upward, and sales of lenses in the monitoring / measurement field, including long-range surveillance cameras and machine vision lenses, fared fell.

3 Legged Thing Announces Dedicated L-Bracket for Fujifilm GFX 100S and 50S II

Award-winning British tripod manufacturer, 3 Legged Thing, has announced Gracy – an innovative dedicated L-bracket for two of Fujifilm’s GFX range of medium format cameras – the 100S and the new 50S II.

3 Legged Thing collaborated closely with Fujifilm to ensure that the key functionality of the cameras was considered and included during the L-bracket’s design process.

“We’re delighted to work with the team at Fujifilm to bring our L-bracket expertise to these two GFX cameras,” said Stuart Boston, 3 Legged Thing’s Chief Operations Officer. “The medium format is perfect for a wide range of photography genres that benefit from using an L-bracket, and we’ve built-in some additional innovations that will improve workflows for photographers and videographers alike. The demand for Gracy is greater than we anticipated, and it is clear that Fujifilm customers have been crying out for an L-bracket with a level of innovation that improves both stability and workflow.

Precision engineered from aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, Gracy has been designed to perfectly fit the contours of both the GFX 100S and 50S II, providing full access to the side ports, battery door and memory card slots.

The base of Gracy features cut-outs for easy access to the rear tilt screen, along with a notch for improved audio of in-camera video playback. It also has a useful strap slot at the end, ideal for the attachment of hand straps. A Stainless Steel ¼”-20 camera screw is supplied to attach Gracy to the camera.

Gracy features a unique extendable base, enabling the use of tethering cables in portrait orientation, and an accessory for cable management is also supplied with the L-bracket. Studio and portrait photographers will find this useful for tethered shooting.

Gracy’s vertical aspect has an open profile which provides users access to all the ports in the side of the camera. There is also a combined 1/4”-20 and 3/8”-16 accessory attachment point at the base of the vertical aspect, which can be used in either landscape or portrait orientations, and enables the attachment of an arm for lights or monitors.

Gracy is available in 3 Legged Thing’s two signature L-bracket colours Copper, and Metallic Slate Grey, and is available from www.3leggedthing.com and camera retailers worldwide with a suggested retail price of £99.99 / US$119.99 / €99.99.
