Fujinon/Fujifilm Rolls Out “Lunch & Learn Lenses” Events At Cities Across North And South America


FUJINON/FUJIFILM ROLLS OUT “LUNCH & LEARN LENSES” EVENTS AT CITIES ACROSS NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA
Attendees Engage in Discussions on Future Optical Design and Get Hands-Onwith Cabrio and MK Zooms

Wayne, N.J., August 2, 2017 – As part of the company’s overall education initiative, the Optical Devices Division of FUJIFILM is currently conducting “Lunch & Learn Lenses” events in cities across North and South America. Each “Lunch & Learn Lenses” is an informal discussion over lunch with representatives from FUJIFILM that provides attendees with an opportunity to give insight into what future lens innovations they’d like to see.

“We’ll hold discussions where all sorts of questions about optics are raised, some specific to our lens design and some more of an industry-wide discussion,” explained Tom Fletcher, Director of Sales, FUJIFILM Optical Devices Division. “We ask questions about what image size coverage they’d like to see, what focal lengths, what T-stop, anamorphic or spherical, do they prefer images with more character(taste) or a clean look, and what are the benefits regarding primes versus zooms. It’s always an extremely engaging conversation and one that proves of immense value in our own product development. We’re seeing more people sign up and participate in these events as we hold them in new cities across the country.”

In addition to the optics discussions, the latest FUJINON lenses are available for attendees to try out. At each event, the recently released FUJINON MK50-135mm T2.9 zoom and MK18-55mm T2.9 zoom, along with the Cabrio 20-120mm T3.5 zoom, will be on hand.

Cities scheduled for upcoming dates include: Philadelphia; Washington, DC; Chicago; Minneapolis; Indianapolis; Detroit; Cleveland; Cincinnati; Columbus; Miami; Nashville; Charlotte; Orlando; St Louis; Kansas City; Dallas; San Antonio; Houston; Anchorage, AK; Boise, ID; Portland; San Francisco; Oakland; Seattle; Denver; and Phoenix.

Cambo Actus Mini Review

The Cambo Actus Mini is a very portable option for those looking for portable bellows for their Fujifilm camera. The Cambo lets you Tilt/Swing/Shift your body up/down and side/side, which allows for unique composition that can’t be achieved with a regular lens. On the Fujifilm X-T2 you can use focus peaking, which makes using the Cambo Mini very easy to use compared to traditional view cameras. Many photographers today aren’t familiar with view cameras, but Cambo is making it very easy for photographers to get back into them. You can find Cambo products at B&H Photo.

Fujifilm E-FX500 Reviews and More

I have received a lot of questions about flashes for the Fujifilm GFX 50S lately and HSS. It’s important to realize that the GFX operates with Fujifilm compatible flashes exactly like the X-T2 does, which is probably why Fujifilm recently updated their E-FX500 firmware update announcement. There are no reported instances of incompatibility, so if it works on X-T2 it should work on the GFX.

There also hasn’t been a lot of E-FX500 coverage compared to flashes like the Godox system or Nissin, which is probably because the EF-X500 is a little expensive and lacks radio communication. If you are really concerned about compatibility going forward Fujifilms E-FX500 system is probably the best investment, but Godox and Nissin have very compelling options today.

First Fujifilm GFX 50S Savings


You can save $650 on a GFX when trading a qualified camera at B&H Photo thanks to Fujifilm’s new trade-in program, but it looks like Amazon decided to skip the trade in program altogether and pre-discount the camera $700 so you can pick up a Fujifilm GFX 50S for $5,798.00 right now if you are lucky. They also have used GFX on Amazon if you want to save a little more.
