Fujifilm X-Pro 2 and Leica M240: Let The Comparison Begin

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 23, 2016

I have owned both the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and Leica M240 for since release, but up until now I haven’t taken the time to fully compare the two cameras. These photos are the first time I have removed my hand grip, thumbs up and neck strap from my M240 to truly see how the two side-by-side and the results are surprising. The cameras are very similar in size/feel/weight in my hands and it shows in the photos I took last night.

I have decided that now is the right time to begin writing my comparison of these two cameras because the Fujifilm X-T2 has become my go to camera, but the X-Pro2 is still fresh in my mind and I am a life long M shooter. I am juggling a few reviews in the coming months, so check back frequently for updates and feel free to leave a comment or contact me if you would like me to elaborate on something specific about these two cameras.

I received a report from a reader today that Fujifilm recalled X-A3 shipments. It is unclear at this time why the recall was initiated, but I have been told it is a total recall to Japan.

Luminous Landscape Talks GFX at Photo Plus

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 18, 2016

fujifilmluminousland
Luminous Landscape had the opportunity to interview Billy Luong and Makoto Oishi from Fujifilm about the new GFX 50S at Photo Plus and some new details have emerged about the GFX 50S and where the system might be headed. To start with the lenses look big, but they aren’t heavy and it’s not easy to buttons by accident. The menu and system is very much like the Fujifilm X-T2 so current X-T2 shooters should feel at home, also the LCD on the top can be illuminated if you want. One of the more interesting things in the video that is confirmed by Makoto Oishi, there are are plans to do more with the removable EVF, I am curious to see what other viewfinders/accessories Fujifilm will develop in the future for this system.
