Fujinon XF 23mm f2 R WR Roundup

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 25, 2016

I received my Fujinon XF 23mm f2 R WR last week and it’s an very fast lens, but some people have reported issues with the lens being a little soft wide open when taking macro type shots, which the lens is not designed for. At this time I do not have any complaints, but here are some reviews and impressions for you in the mean time.

Now a Fujifilm X-A10?

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 23, 2016

ifjxa3s

The Fujifilm X-A3 isn’t available yet and it might not be the only new X-A series camera we see this year. These inexpensive X-series cameras are extremely popular  in Asia and it makes sense for Fujifilm to expand their entry level options to attract new users to the system, but I wish the Fujifilm X-A3 would have started shipping before the details of this camera surfaced. People in this segment might end up confused if the X-A3 and X-A10 are too similar. It’s likely there will be a more formal announcement in the near future so check back over the coming weeks for more details.

  • Company name: Fujifilm Electronic Imaging Korea
  • Equipment Name: specified low-power radio equipment
  • Model name: X-A10
  • Certificate Number: MSIP-CMI-FEI-FF-FF160003

Fujifilm PhotoPlus Expo 2016 Coverage

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 22, 2016

The Camera Project caught up with Billy of the Fuji Guys at the Fujifilm booth at PhotoPlus and asked him some questions about the new Fujifilm GFX 50s. Cameta Camera also visited the Fujifilm booth to check out the GFX 50S, 23mm f2, Instax SP-2 and EF-X500. It’s a little disappointing that Fujifilm didn’t release more information at PhotoPlus about the GFX, but the Fujifilm X-T2 is still selling strongly, so there isn’t really a rush to get the Fujifilm GFX 50S out. The only new detail to come out of PhotoPlus is that Instax square will be like old polaroid film, so it will be larger than regular Instax. Read More »

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.

Also if you’re a fan on B&W; Fujifilm Instax Monochrome is now shipping from Amazon/B&H Photo/Adorama

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.
