ThePhoBlographer: Fujifilm X100V Review

The Fujifilm X100V started it all for Fujifilm X cameras and it has improved quite a bit since its launch. Above the ThePhoBlographer reviews, it’s latest iteration, and below is a summary of the above points. I have personally always loved this camera and still feel it is one of the best cameras Fujifilm makes today.

Pros

  • Feels good in the hand
  • Focuses quickly but the all wide tracking needs a revamp
  • Beautiful overall
  • I like this new ISO dial
  • So simple to use
  • Image quality is nice so far
  • Built in ND filter option
  • With the right tweaks the autofocus can be very good for street. I recommend tweaking the tracking sensitivity and using a specific spot set to the largest area and in the center. Then AF-C Mode.
  • I’m finding autofocus with the OVF to be faster than with the EVF
  • Touchscreen focusing is wonderful in protests
  • At $1,349, it’s very worth it

Cons

  • Battery life drains too fast
  • Could use a leatherette grip and not this plastic fantastic stuff
  • Exposure compensation dial needs a lock button
  • Touchscreen menu is needed
  • Maybe even a few more Fn buttons
  • Viewfinder diopter adjustment doesn’t lock
  • When you set the camera to viewfinder only for shooting and LCD for playback, the menu system works only in the viewfinder.
  • There are situations where Image Stabilization would really benefit this camera due to the quick “hit and run” style of shooting
  • LCD needs to adapt to lighting automatically
  • Autofocus suffers in very low lighting and in zone setting. You need to use the focus point setting otherwise. This is where Canon and Sony are ahead still.

Fujifilm Wako Introduces Line of Endotoxin Detection Reagents to U.S. Market


FUJIFILM Wako Introduces Line of Endotoxin Detection Reagents to U.S. Market
PYROSTAR™ ES-F line for endotoxin detection poised to support quality assurance process of future COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing

Richmond, Virginia, June 25, 2020 – FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals U.S.A. Corporation (FUJIFILM Wako), a wholly owned subsidiary of FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation of Japan, announced the U.S. introduction of the PYROSTAR™ ES-F line of limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) reagents, which are engineered to detect the presence of bacterial endotoxins.

The detection of endotoxins is required in a number of industries, including medical device and vaccine manufacturing, to minimize bacterial contamination in final product. As vaccine manufacturing is expected to increase due to COVID-19[1], bacterial endotoxin testing will be a crucial quality assurance measure to ensure patient safety.

Unlike traditional LAL reagents that are untreated and can lead to false-positives by activating 1,3)-ß-D-glucan, PYROSTAR™ ES-F is designed for the specific determination of gram-negative bacterial endotoxins, while also remaining unreactive to (1,3)-ß-D-glucan. Additionally,  PYROSTAR™ ES-F  is dual-purpose and can perform as either a quantitative turbidimetric (KTA) or qualitative gel- clot test assay. Available in both a single-test or multi-test configuration, the PYROSTAR™ ES-F line of reagents fits a wide range of quality control needs in environments where medical devices and vaccines are manufactured.

“As the demand grows for vaccines especially in the wake of COVID-19, FUJIFILM Wako understands the need for accurate and dependable bacterial endotoxin testing to ensure vaccines are not contaminated with harmful bacteria,” said Lisa Komski, General Manager LAL Sales,, FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals U.S.A. Corporation. “Mitigating risk to patients and complying with regulatory standards is vital. Endotoxin testing helps pharmaceutical companies avoid releasing defective products to the market. More importantly, it protects vulnerable patients.”

FUJIFILM Wako will distribute the PYROSTAR™ ES-F reagents under their Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) Division in the U.S.
