FUJINON XK6x20 Update and Videos

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 8, 2016

Fujifilm released a marketing video along with an image quality video sample, shortly after the announcement of the Fujinon XK6x20, which competes with the Canon CN7x17 KAS S Cine-Servo 17-120mm T2.95. The Fujinon XK6x20 will cost around half as much as its Canon competitor, and specialty shops like Duclos Lenses are taking $1,000 down for preorder. It is likely Fuji will sell every XK6x20 they can produce going forward, so put your money down now if this is a lens you have to have.

The Fujifilm FP-100C Petition is Still Going Strong

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 7, 2016

FP100c

There has been a concerted effort to save FP-100C since we first reported it’s discontinuation in February. A few days ago the petition to save it reached another milestone, 20,000 signatures. Further, sales have continued to be strong for packfilm on sites like Amazon, B&H Photo, and Adorama. Hopefully one of the multiple approaches being utilized to convince Fujifilm to save the format will work. We will continue to follow this story as it develops or until it concludes.

It looks like the Fuji X-T1 discounts might have been extended indefinitely from the big Fuji sale that just ended. I was going to sell mine shortly after receiving my X-Pro 2, but it’s ability to keep up surprised me enough that I now plan on hanging onto mine until closer to the Fuji X-T2 release.

Fujifilm released a beautiful video of the XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR on a X-T1 being used in Scotland by Ben Cherry to photograph wild life that we reviewed a few weeks ago. In the video, he reports being impressed with the lens’ ability to perform in continues autofocus mode, which echoes our experience, and the video includes some impressive photos he was able to capture with this amazing lens.
