Fujifilm ACROS is beloved by many, but how does it compare to Fujifilm Monochrome and VSCO B5? Keenan Rivals put together a great comparison of the three popular B&W digital film types for you to decided. I love ACROS, but after looking at Keenan’s post I think I am going to give VSCO B5 a try with some of the B&W photos I like. You can choose which one you like the most here.

Amateur Photographer Fujifilm GFX Interview

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 20, 2016

Theo Georghiades, General Manager Electronic Imaging Fujifilm UK, is interviewed by Amateur Photographer about the new Fujifilm GFX. At the end of the interview he makes it sound like Fujifilm might have experimented with larger X-trans sensors like the one in the GFX, “When we have done tests at larger sensor sizes, actually, the benefits are less and less.” Maybe we will see a future X-trans GFX like the X100, which started with a normal bayar sensor.

Fujifilm Instax Film Hack: How to Use Instax in Kodak Instant Cameras

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 18, 2016

Josh Gladstone of PhotoChemicals made an 11-minute video explaining how you can use Instax film in old Kodak instant cameras. His hack works for one picture at a time, for now, but he hopes to figure out a way to load around 6 hacked prints in a single cartridge. I wonder if we will see a similar hack for Polaroid cameras in the future. This isn’t the first time we have seen Instax film hacked to work in another camera.
