Photography Life: Fujifilm GFX 50S Interview

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 12, 2016

Not a whole lot new, but Fujifilm is basing their sub 10k price tag on the body + EVF + 63mm lens. So the Fujinon GF 63mm f2.8 R WR (50mm equivalent in 35mm) is the lens that you should expect to purchase with your GFX 50S to keep the price below $10k. It maybe that more lenses allow you to do this, but this is the only one we know of for sure at this time. I figured the Fujinon GF 32-64mm f4 R LM WR (25-64mm equivalent in 35mm) would be expensive, but I am surprised that it’s likely the Fujinon GF 120mm f4 Macro (95mm equivalent in 35mm)(Min focus dist: 45cm Max Mag: 0.5x (macro 1:2)) will be expensive too.

Fujifilm X-T2: Why I Switched From Sony & Wedding Photography

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 9, 2016

The Fujifilm X-T2 is one of the hottest cameras on the market at the moment and lots of photographers are switching. I haven’t been shooting much besides my X-T2 lately, but when I do I always feel like there are things missing from the other cameras I use and not the X-T2. The above video is a bit long and slow paced, but very detailed if you’re curious why someone would switch from Sony and the below is a bit odd for DPReview.
