Our sister site Photorumors found an interesting patent application the other day. It seems Fujifilm might have a Fujinon XF13mm f1.8 or Fujinon XF20mm f1.8 in the works, but the translation is imperfect. Maybe this patent explains the significant savings on the Fujinon XF 14mm F2.8 R. We will let you know when we know. Read More

Fujifilm released a 3rd portrait tutorial today with Damien Lovegrove. In this tutorial he explains why he doesn’t like bounce flash because there is less light at the top of a room than the bottom of one and walks us through his thought his process while shooting a model with his Fujfilm X-T1 and Fujinon XF 23mm F1.4 R.
Memorial Day is a US holiday, but I have always considered it a holiday for remembering everyone that has fought to make the world a better place. Issues like post traumatic stress disorder affect a variety of people regardless of borders/nationality and it’s good to see that photography can help bring some veterans peace.
Fujifilm AU assembled a great resource for understanding the differences between the Fujifilm X-Pro 2 and X-Pro 1 for people that really want to dive into the details. Also, Billy from the Fujiguys recently did an interview talking about the future of the X-Pro 2, where he discloses the headroom built into the X-Pro 2 for firmware improvements in the future and that the X-Pro 2 will not do 4k because it’s not designed to dissipate enough heat. Billy also says that the X-Pro 2 is considered a little on the large size by Japanese designers, which is amusing because many feel that it is finally about right.
So far I picked up the XF10-24mm and XF16mm to round out my kit and I am loving both lenses on my X-Pro 2.
