Fuji manager interview: We are not selling our sensors to other companies. And we have the tech to go Full Frame.

The Spanish website DSLRmagazine (translation here) interviewed the Fuji managers MR. Hiroshi Kawahara and Yuto Nakanishi. Here are some interesting info:

– The new Zeiss X mount lenses will definitely be on market within this year (Editor’s note: The 12mm f/2.8, 32mm f/1.8 and 50mm f/2.8 with a price of around 1.000 Euro.)
– For now we do not plan to make prime lenses with OIS. But it doens’t mean we are not never going to do such lenses.
– We have the technology and knowledge to make a Full Frame X system but this doens’t mean we will do it.
– We will not outsource or sell our sensors to third party companies.

That was more or less the most interesting part of the interview. I think it’s good Fuji is keeping all the X-Trans tech for them self. It is one of the main strengths of the X-system and it would make no sense to sell it to other companies!

First winner of the Fujifilm Student Awards 2013

Some of you strongly criticized the last winner (see my post here). Now the winner of the first Fujifilm Student Awards 2013 has been announced. “The theme for this year’s Award is ‘The Colour Of….’ with students being briefed to capture an image that illustrates how colour lights up their world.

The winner is Jade Danielle Smith.

“Jade’s image, a self-portrait laying amongst shadows, impressed judges with its beautiful tone and use of natural light. Together with her entry, Jade provided a commentary that caught the eye of the judges, forcing viewers to question what ‘colour’ ‘means to them… On how she took her image, she said: “Using [shoplink 7829]Fujifilm’s Superia 800[/shoplink] film, I placed my [shoplink 7827 ebay]Canon AE-1[/shoplink] with a 50mm lens and positioned it on a tripod with a ten second timer and naturally placed myself into the direction of where I wanted the light to fall.”
