A Different Take on Kumamoto

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 28, 2016

The CameraStore guys have a well thought out take on the fallout from the Kumamoto Earthquake. Some manufactures have been very honest about the shortages that are to come, while others have down played the incident. Lets hope Fujifilm hasn’t downplayed the affect of the Earthquake on their production capacity and that it doesn’t delay the X-T2 launch much. In the mean time it’s a very good time for Fujifilm fans to go lens shopping.

Instax Mini 70 is Bloomberg’s Pick for Family Fun

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 28, 2016

Fujifilm Instax Mini 70 Blue

Bloomberg has selected the Fujifilm Instax Mini 70 for its top travel camera list, as the camera best suited for family fun. These little awards and top picks might not seem important to many photographers, but Fuji’s continued presence on lists like these ensure that Fujifilm’s camera division remains profitable and relevant. Instax is a driving force in Fujifilm’s imaging devision and I can’t wait to see what the next generation of Instax will bring to the mass market.

Instax as A Medium Format Back

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 27, 2016

Instax Back
Brock Saddler hacked his Instax to be a back for his Bronica ETRS camera and the results are interesting. The details about how he performed this hack are a bit on the light side in his interview with the phoblographer, but you can pick up a Bronica ETRS camera and Instax Mini, to try it yourself. I might give this a try when I  complete my current Fuji project, but if someone beats me to duplicating the hack I would be more than happy to interview them for the site.

Fujifilm USA launched a centralized place to find events today fujifilm-blog.com/usa-events/. They have already populated it with many events throughout the United States. Maybe we will start to see some kind of Leica Akademie type event in the future from Fujifilm.

Impact of the Earthquake in Kumamoto Prefecture on the operations of FUJIFILM Corporation (Final update)

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 26, 2016

Fujifilm-logo

FUJIFILM Corporation would like to express its deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences to the people affected by the recent series of earthquakes centered in the Kumamoto region in Japan.

FUJIFILM Kyusyu Co., Ltd., located in Kikuyo-cho, Kumamoto, has been working toward the resumption of its operations in cooperation with Fujifilm Group companies and other support companies. The company commenced trial operations on April 23 and full operations have now been resumed at the first trial facility. The resumption of operations has also been successfully achieved at other facilities, and on May 22, the company had finally resumed full operations at all its facilities. The operations of FUJIFILM Kyusyu have now reached pre-earthquake production levels.
The company resumed the shipping of stock from its warehouse on April 19, and has also started shipping products that have been manufactured in facilities at which operations have resumed.

Damage to the warehouse was minimal, and resumption of operations proceeded smoothly and quicker than expected. Fujifilm estimates that the impact on its business in the current fiscal year will also be minimal. The continued understanding, cooperation and support of many companies has been most greatly appreciated.
