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 :)

DPRTV Best and Worst Camera Gear 2020: Love for Fujifilm X-S10, Fun for X100V and Worst Lens XF50mmF1.0, but…
DPReview TV has now published its Best and Worst gear episode for 2020.
They drink hard this year… congratz to Chris and Jordan for being able to go through all the video! Have fun watching it.
Down below the results:
Best lens
Best hybrid camera
- Sony a7S III
- Panasonic S5
- Fujifilm X-T4
Straight out of camera, the best video image

Best trend of 2020
- 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
- Overheating
Worst lens
- 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.
- Christopher Forst says here – XF 50mm f/1.0 Easily the Sharpest Lens I Have Ever Tested at Apertures Brighter than f/1.2
- ePhotozine says here – Top Tier Performance, Impressive Chromatic Aberration Performance… Magical!
- Cameralabs says here – Tremendous Details at f/1.0 from Center to Corner
Worst camera
