EISA 2021 Fujifilm GFX100S and X-S10 Take Home Awards

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 16, 2021


Fujifilm GFX100S: B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama

With the GFX 100S, Fujifilm has packed the groundbreaking features of the GFX 100 into a much more compact and affordable camera. Like its bigger sibling, it employs a 102-million-pixel BSI-CMOS sensor that measures 44x33mm, and which includes phase detection pixels for fast, accurate hybrid autofocus. Its updated sensor-shift in-body image stabilisation can now compensate for camera shake by up to 6 stops, which together with the low-vibration shutter, helps photographers get the sharpest possible images when shooting handheld. In Pixel Shift Multi-Shot mode the camera can even generate 400-million-pixel images for the ultimate quality when shooting still life.


Fujifilm X-S10: B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama

The Fujifilm X-S10 is a lightweight and compact mirrorless camera with easy handling and lots of creative settings. Its image sensor delivers 26-million-pixel images, 4K video at 30fps, and a sensitivity range from ISO 160 to 12,800. The fast and sensitive autofocus system is reliable and accurate even in low light. The X-S10 includes in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) to ensure sharp images by counteracting camera shake across five axes. In addition, the camera’s internal stabiliser can synchronise with optically stabilised X-mount lenses for even better results. All in all, the Fujifilm X-S10 is an excellent camera at an affordable price.


Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO: VenusOptics / B&H Photo / Adorama

The Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO is an exceptionally bright standard lens for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensors. This ultra-large-aperture lens is perfect for both low-light photography and for obtaining extremely shallow depth of field – especially when combined with its 35cm closest focusing distance. Thanks to its apochromatic design, the colour fringing usually associated with fast apertures is unusually well controlled. The long focus throw, low focus breathing and stepless aperture ring also make it ideal for video use. It’s available in Canon RF, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z and Sony E mounts.

TTartisan Lens Roadmap: First AF Lens, 40mm f/2.8 Macro Lens, TTartisan 90mm f/1.25 For GFX, and More

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 14, 2021

TTartisan is working on several new lenses and it looks like my findings of the 90mm covering the GFX are shared by TTartisan since a TTartisan 90mm f/1.25 is coming for G mount according to the roadmap photorumors published. GFX might not have a lot of fast native AF glass at this time, but there are some great 3rd party options:

  • TTartisan will announce their first autofocus lens in 2022 (probably for Fuji X-mount)
  • The current TTartisan 90mm f/1.25 will come to more mounts, including Fuji GFX
  • Another TTartisan 23mm f/5.6 APS-C lens for Sony/Fuji/Canon/MFT mounts
  • New TTartisan 28mm f/5.6 lens for Leica M-mount
  • Another high-end lens for M-mount
  • TTartisan 40mm f/2.8 macro lens coming in September for $150 (pictured above) – here are the details:

Financial Results FY2021 Q1

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 13, 2021


Solid sales of instant photo systems drove revenue up 45.6% year-over-year to ¥72.6 billion and operating income to move into the black by ¥8.0 billion compared to the losses a year earlier.

In the consumer imaging field, revenues increased on solid sales of instant photo systems and dry minilabs / materials for retailers in the U.S. As an entry model of instant photo systems, which enables users to enjoy on-the-spot photo printing, we launched the instax mini 40 compatible with mini format film in April 2021. It was rated highly in the market for its classic camera design that never goes out of style, and achieved firm sales in Japan and overseas.

In the professional imaging field, sales of digital cameras remained steady, including the FUJIFILM GFX100S, a mirrorless digital camera which has gained a high reputation worldwide for its superior image quality using a large format sensor despite its compact body. Sales of broadcast and cinema lenses, which had been hit by a decline in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, turned upward, contributing to higher revenue. The monitoring / measurement field, including long-range surveillance cameras and machine vision lenses, also achieved significantly higher revenue than a year earlier.
