Fujifilm Managers Talk Film Simulations: Origins, Evolutions, Goals, Misunderstandings, Bold Classic Negative and Much More

The Japanese site dc.watch interviewed Fujifilm manager Kosuke Irie and Shinya Fujiwara.

They talk about film simulations in a lengthy, very detailed and technical way.

All in Japanese, which means we are in the hands of google translate. And sadly this does not always work out well.

I will share a summary for you down below, often just taken as google delivered it.

It will get nerdy… happy reading down below :)

Best trend of 2020

  1. Year of Telephoto
    When mirrorless started, they wanted to make small lenses, keep the package small. Now companies are releasing more telephoto lenses like 70-200 for mirrorless.

Worst trend of 2020

  1. Overheating

Worst lens

  1. Fujifilm XF50mm f/1.0
    it’s soft

But… at this point I’ll share a few articles articles, where the XF50mm f/1.0 is actually hugely praised for its sharpness. No idea why there is such a massive discrepancy.

Worst camera

  1. Panasonic G100
