Here are their top picks for travel:

One of the best things one can do with photography, is to raise awareness for important issues.
And that’s what world-renown photographer Spencer Tunick did with his latest installment, where he photographed 2,500 nude people at Bondi Beach beach in Australia with the goal to draw attention to skin cancer (2,500 was also the number of people, who died last year on skin cancer in Australia).
Various news outlets report about this (see below), and in some of them you can see him using a Fujifilm GFX camera for his work.
It does not matter which gear he used. But having literally just this month lived on my own skin how important it is to make regular checks, I’ll use the GFX as a pretext to join the message Spencer is spreading with his work and remind everybody to make regular checks.

TTArtisan has announced the TTArtisan 35mm f/0.95 APS-C lens for Fujifilm X Mount.
You can read a first review about this lens:
Marketing research data says we Fujifilm X and GFX shooters make up 5.9% of the entire digital camera market.
So we are certainly not the top dog in the industry, but it is still better than the 0.1% we were back when I started this blog over 10 years ago.
Slowly, but steadily, Fujifilm was able to carve out its niche and some cameras even got some decent mainstream success, leading Fujifilm to be the third most popular mirrorless camera manufacturer ahead of Nikon.
And this number, 5.9%, made me think… how did it all start for you?
I mean, which one was your first Fujifilm camera that you bought intrigued by the X/GFX system and hence made you become part of those 5.9%?
