If you’re an original Fujifilm X fan like me, than you’re probably aware of how IR sensitive their cameras can be. They aren’t quite full spectrum cameras, but you can capture some unique shots with just a large R72 infrared filter and step down/up rings like I did the other day at Morikami. Read More »

Shoot Like Your Favorite Fujifilm Photographer

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 13, 2016

Fuji Photographers

Fujifilm’s new photographer site is a useful tool for learning what’s in your favorite X-Photographers bag. It’s loaded with tons of examples of their best work and you can search it by photographer/lenses/cameras/country/etc… Fujifilm did a great job organizing the new X-Photographers site and populated it with a ton of useful information that would be difficult to find elsewhere.

Fuji Tough

Fuji X100T

Fujifilm cameras have had a reputation for build quality since the first X100 was introduced in 2011, which is partially why we came up with our April Fools Post. Fujifilm’s latest blog posts about Bernd Ritschel and Daniel Malikyar remind us that Fujifilm has been producing durable cameras from the beginning even if they haven’t been rated for abuse like the Fujifilm X-T1 and X-Pro 2. Beyond the occasional defect I have read remarkably few stories of X cameras failing due to the elements since their introduction and can definitely understand the appeal of them for extended hikes or climbing a mountain.

The Impossible I-1

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 10, 2016

I1

The Impossible I-1 is a slap in the face to the people behind the death of FP-100C. It appears Fujifilm is content continuing their transitioning to instax, while letting their traditional Polaroid films die; even though demand is strong enough to bring about projects like the I-1 from the Impossible project, which go beyond instax technologically. I have been the proud owner of two Polaroid SX-70‘s since I was a child and I remember being amazed at how they operated, but today’s instax technology just doesn’t stack up to classic polaroid film in my opinion.

High Quality Mirrorless Telephotos Compared

Natural Exposures has a comparison between Leica/Fuji/Nikon super zooms and the Olympus 300mm. In my opinion the Fujifilm XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR, that I reviewed earlier this year, is the clear winner even through Daniel J. Cox isn’t familiar with Fujifilm cameras/lenses. The XF100-400 and Fujifilm X-T1 work great together and I would highly recommend the combo to anyone shooting wildlife.
