I was in Japan at the beginning of may. Fujifilm very successfully launched the GFX100 (read my first-look here) at their big Fujikina event. This was the second time I went to Tokyo, the first time being in October 2018. You might have seen the 5-post-series reportage on this site. If not, then you can…

At the brink of tomorrow – The Fujifilm GFX100 first look preview
This is not a review. Well, actually it is. It’s the same as it has always been, but as someone in an internet forum recently made me aware, “A hotel staff member can’t review the hotel he works for”. I have never hid the fact that I was deeply involved with Fujifilm, nor that my…
Powerful Compactful – The Fujifilm X-T30 Review
Third time’s a charm, right? Not that the X-T10 and X-T20 weren’t little charmers in their own right, but if the recent success and reviewer praises of the XT3 are anything to come by, then the third iteration of the X-TX0 is indeed bound to be the charm. And indeed it is! The X-TX0 series…
Compact Impact – The Fujinon XF16mm f2.8 review
As noted on the roadmap back in summer of 2018 Fujifilm was going to be launching a new small 16mm lens for the X-series system by start 2019. And here we are. Start 2019 has come – and indeed Fujifilm delivered on their promise and today announced the XF16mm f/2.8 R WR. The XF16mm f/2,8…
The Gatlin – Fujinon GF100-200mm f/5.6 first look review
I actually promised myself. I promised myself that I wouldn’t be writing my thoughts on this lens. My life has been very very hectic during the course of the last couple of months, so I don’t really think I have given this lens the amount of attention it deserves for a proper review. And up…
Mitakon 65mm f/1.4 for GFX review
So here we are yet again. It doesn’t seem like a long time ago that I reviewed the Mitakon 35mm f0.95 mk2. But then again it is. It is also a long time ago that we first saw the initial prototype presented of the 65 mm F/ 1.4. The first time we side presented was…
Fujifilm GFX 50R Review – Digital Medium Format Heritage
“A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” I’ve always admired this quote by the late Apple founder Steve Jobs. He was a true visionary, and left a huge mark on the world and how we live in it today. The camera that Fujifilm announced today is…
Fujifilm X-T3 Review – Next generation X
In the midst of more camera companies stepping up and entering the mirrorless camera market with full frame cameras galore, Fujifilm is launching its next generation APS-C. And make no mistake, the X-T3 is indeed next generation APS-C mirrorless. The debacle will be inevitable. Should I go “full-frame” or stick with APS-C or even…
Fujinon XF8-16mm f/2.8 mini review – A wider shade of Fujifilm
Just when I thought I’d get around to posting more personal work stuff in between reviews, the time flew by, and Fujifilm decided to release not just one, but two amazing new lenses into the wild. So yet again, I’m bound by this desire to share my enthusiasm about the new products with you guys….
Fujinon XF200mm f/2 mini review – The Crown jewel of X
Fujifilm made sure to announce lenses at both ends of focal length spectrum today. (You can find my mini-review of the XF8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR here) – And boy have I been blown away by both of these lenses. I’ve had very limited time with these lenses since I had to send them back…
Fujifilm X-T100 Review – Quality on a budget
Here we go again. These Fujifilm camera first look reviews has become quite the theme for me, apparently. I do wish that I would get more time to update the blog with other stuff than Fujifilm releasing a new camera, but it’s just the way my life is at the moment. I’m shooting more and…
Moving in close – A look at the Fujifilm MCEX-18G and MCEX-45G
So this post is more like a supplement to the GF250mm f/4 R LM OIS WR review than an actual review, cause let’s face it – it’s a bit silly to do reviews of macro-tubes, right? (yes, I know I have done one in the past. Now shush! 😛 ) None the less I got…
