Fujifilm X-T2 Large Print Best Practices

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 20, 2017

Since switching to Fujifilm from Nikon Eric from Finding Middle Earth has been putting out some great tutorial videos for Fujifilm fans. If you’re not familiar with printing the above tutorial will help you master the process of preparing your digital image for print and below he goes over the end results. Eric uses Lightroom and ON1 Resize for his large prints, but for smaller prints you can leave out the ON1 Resize steps.

Fujifilm GFX 50S First Firmware, Insights, Samples and Reviews

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 20, 2017

Fujifilm is already preparing a firmware update, based on user input, for the Fujifilm GFX 50S according to the interview above. There’s also some interesting discussion about the possibility of Metabones AF adapters for the GFX in the future towards the end. Lets hope it happens since the system was designed from the beginning accept adapted glass. I can’t wait for the first GFX firmware update, which will make an already great camera better. Hopefully Fujifilm will improve autofocus a little bit with the 63mm and battery life when pre-AF is enabled.

Reviews and Samples
mpex-experience – “When I picked it up, it felt like I was holding my old Canon 5D Mark III, only with a tilting EVF (which is so truly amazing by the way)…I was blown away by the latitude I had in shadow and highlight recovery!…this is a camera system that is usable for a wide variety of photography styles including street and whatever my category my astronaut series falls under.”

allanhiga – The Lamborghini of Medium Format? (Probably should have called it the Ferrari of Medium format since they are more reliable) ” This is the camera that will start to democratize medium format the same way the Canon 5D Mark II democratized film making.”

fujifilm.co.nz – Fujifilm New Zealand published Craig Robertson’s Review “I think this camera really will be a game changer especially when all of the six announced lenses are available over the next 12 months or so.”

Camerajabber – “I think it’s absolutely stunning. It’s taking me a little while to work out what I need from it and exactly how I’ll use it, but comparing the results I get from it from my current line-up of Fuji X-series cameras confirms that they are very different beasts.”

The Fuji Guys: Did You Know You Could Do This on Your X Series Camera?

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 20, 2017

Some pretty basic tips from the Fuji Guys about how to use your camera optimally

  1. Half press shutter to exit the menus
  2. Playback – press and hold delete – press in rear command dial
  3. On newer cameras if your on a menu tab and press up you will go to the end of the menu tab above the one selected
  4. You can capture a portrait panorama by choosing from bottom to top or top to bottom
  5. If you want to move your focus point from one side to the other it will wrap around and same from top to bottom, but if you want to move it back to the center double tap the joystick

Most of these tips are for newer cameras like the Fujifilm X-T2, but if you don’t know them you should.

Fujifilm GFX 50S is Only Bested by The Phase One IQ3100 According to Independent Testing

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 19, 2017


Last week we covered an independent site that tested the current lineup of X-Trans sensor cameras called Photon. Today Photon added the Fujifilm GFX50S to their comparison tool and the GFX doesn’t fail to impress. The only camera that surpasses the GFX in Photon’s testing is the Phase One IQ3100, which is around $44,000. Other cameras get close, but with a PDR of 12.00 the Phase One IQ3100 is the only camera that surpasses it with a PDR of 13.06.

You can manipulate the result yourself here. It’s also interesting that the Sony a7RII received a base PDR of 11.42, Canon 5DS R 9.08, Pentax 645Z 11.75, Leica S 11.36, Nikon D810 11.60, Phase One IQ250 11.92 and Phase One IQ260 10.5. Probably the most surprising result is how well the Sony a7RII and Nikon D810 perform among such expensive medium format systems. Hopefully the GFX will help to bring their prices down to earth.


If you’re wondering how the Fujifilm X-T2 and X-Pro2 compare too the GFX, they have a PDR of 10. You can manipulate the chart here.

Fujinon XF 50mm F2 R WR Review Roundup

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 19, 2017

The Fujinon XF 50mm F2 R WR came without a lot of fanfair, probably because 75mm isn’t a very popular focal length, but by all accounts this is a very good lens. I doubt it will be very popular among Fujifilm X-T2 photographers, but I think the entire f/2 Fujinon line-up is well suited for the Fujifilm X-Pro2.
