Fujifilm Historical Cameras

In 1969, the Japanese Camera Museum started to select some cameras as “Japanese Historical Cameras” and to preserve them for the future in their museum.

“Cameras which are considered significant in some regard are selected by the Historical Camera Committee, which is composed of unbiased experts and specialists in the field.”

This year (2017) the Japanese Camera Museum selected the Fujifilm GFX 50S and Instax Square SQ10 as their “historical camera“. These two cameras will now be displayed permanently at their museum.

Full list of elected cameras in 2017 here:

• Fujifilm GFX 50S
• Instax Square SQ10
• Sony A9
• Panasonic GH5
• Nikon D850
• Canon Power Shot G1 X Mark III

In 2014, the X-T1 and X100T were elected “historical cameras“. In 2016 the X-T2 was declared historical. List of winners in previous years here.

While I’m obviously happy for this recognition and I consider especially the Fujifilm GFX 50S definitely worth to be considered “historical” (it is a potential game changer for the industry), I honestly think that we should wait years (decades?) before anyone can declare any camera really “historical“.

After Adorama, now also BHphoto has the Godox X-Pro F trigger available for pre-order here.

BHphoto expects to ship it in mid-January.

This trigger is a must have for those of you, who invested into the Godox system, as it “eclipses all previous triggers for UI and control access“, as Damien Lovegrove told us here,

For many years, Flash support for Fujifilm gear was a major weak spot of the system.

But 2017 was a great year for Fujifilm lovers when it comes to flash support. Now X-shooters have a wide variety of options, with Godox quickly becoming the most popular one. Some big players (Elinchrom!!) are still not offering Fujifilm support, but they will follow soon.

Now Godox finally released their Fujifilm compatible Godox XPro-F trigger, and as Damien Lovegrove told us here, “it eclipses all previous triggers for UI and control access“.

You can pre-order the Godox X-ProF at Adorama (rebranded as flashpoint)

Back in September we rumored here, that Broncolor is about to add support for Fujifilm cameras.

Well, it just happened :)

Broncolor just announced the RFS 2.2 F transceiver for Fujifilm, allowing you to finally use Broncolor’s HyperSync system and move your sync speeds up to 1/8,000.

The Broncolor RFS 2.2 F transceiver for Fujifilm will be available soon at here at BHphoto, AmazonUS and Adorama
