Don’t know you guys but I am still a film camera user. And after Kodak dropping his slide film production I have another bad news to report. Fuji Japan announced that they will introduce a worldwide price increase for all(!) films. It will increase more than 10% starting from May. Oh guys, I am going to buy a big Stock of Velvia films tomorrow!

It took…..three months but finally I manged to finish the new theme. Of course there iwll be some bugs and I am trying to sneak them all! And there is still room for improvement if you have some great suggestion!

Meantime don’t get scared if you see some strange layout problems. I am still working on it…

See you soon!

Our reader Tim found that new Canon to X mount adapter (here on eBay)! It has been made by R-aerphoto (never heard of it before) and is already shipping. Weird that there was no press release for that as this adapter is actually the first that will allow you to use EOS lenses on your X PRO 1.
