FUJIFILM Europe GmbH is happy to announce that one of Fujinon’s 185° fish-eye lenses was selected as one of the key components for Facebooks Surround 360 camera system.

Virtual Reality for everyone. Virtual reality (VR) is the future of immersive entertainment, education, communication and industrial applications. Facebook has set its vision to connect the whole world within the next 10 years. Their latest coup, the Facebook Surround 360, is a 360-degree spherical camera system with open source software code AND hardware material list, from the cameras to the enclosure and optics. Thanks to their unique characteristics, Facebook has selected the FE185C086HA-1 C-Mount fish-eye lens FE185C086 as key component of the Facebook Surround 360. Thus, almost everyone can become director of a 360-degree movie take and its post processing for virtual reality applications. Read More »

Do you think film is superior to modern digital cameras like the Fujifilm X-Pro 2? Can you tell the difference between a digital picture and a film one? Which of the above pictures do you think was taken on the X-Pro 2 and why? This isn’t a scientific test, but Thomas Fitz Gerald decided to compare the two and his results might surprise you.
