Fuji Icons for Mac

Fujifilm X100F facebook group member Pawel is still waiting for his X100F, and in the meantime, he tried to manage his impatience by creating some cool Fuji X and G icons to replace the standard MacOS (or Windows) ones.

As you can see in the screenshot above, I’ve already created the X-T2 icon for my Mac (even though I don’t own it). But there are currently a total of 8 icons you can chose (X-T2 black, GFX, X-T2 with grip, X-Pro2 graphite, X100F black, X100F silver, X-20 black and X-T20 silver).

The procedure to change the icon is super easy:

“1. Open the info panel of the folder you want to change (Command+i), 2. Locate its icon preview in the left top corner. 3 drag the new icon to this place. Et voila!“

And now all you need is the link. It has been originally shared by Pawel at the X100F group here. But since not everybody is part of the closed group or does not have facebook at all, here is the direct dropbox link :) – Windows + Mac

UPDATE: Fujifilm GFX facebook group member Peter made the windows version of the icons. You can download them via GFX facebook group here or my dropbox here.

UPDATE 2: X-E2 Windows Icons: X-E2 silver, X-E2 black

UPDATE 3: Icons for lenses

UPDATE 4: more links in the comments

Pawel, you are GENIUS!!! :)

First LEAKED Image of the Fujifilm Instax SQ (not SQ10)

The Fujifilm Instax Square SQ
The Fujifilm Instax Square SQ

It’s Instax Time

In the last few days, I’ve shared here on FujiRumors the first images that surfaced on the web (on facebook) of the Instax Square SQ10. After the leak, I’ve investigated further, and informed you that the Instax Square cameras will have a microSD card slot and be a digital/film hybrid.

I also asked sources if there will be other Instax Square versions, and they confirmed. For example, there will be also the Instax SQ (in addition to the SQ10).

One source in particular promised me to grab a camera and share an image for all of us… and so it did today. This is of course exclusive for FR-readers, so you won’t find it anywhere else on the web. But you are free to spread the word on forums/websites etc… if you don’t mind the watermark ;)

The Instax Square SQ10 will be a hybrid digital/film camera, with microSD card slot. The SQ instead will have a useful selfie-mirror, that sits right under the “Fujirumors” logo.

Btw, in case you missed yesterday’s update: As pointed out by instax_square on their instagram “it’s not the first time Fujifilm combined a digital camera with an Instax Camera. Fujifilm Finepix PR21(1999) vs Fujifilm Instax Square SQ10 2017)”

Cambo Lens Adapter for Fujifilm GFX50s

Cambo CA-GFX for fuji gfx50s

Today Cambo announced a new lens adapter to fit Canon lenses to the Fujifilm GFX50s.

The CA-GFX will be the third Canon lens adapter that Cambo have manufactured and marketed for camera movement. Having successfully adapted Canon lenses to the Cambo ACTUS (ACB-CA) and more recently the WIDE series camera (WRES-CA.) It was a natural transition to manufacture the adapter as it gives many photographers the option of using their existing lenses with the latest mirrorless, large sensor, Fujifilm GFX50s (CA-GFX.)

Cambo CA-GFX Adapter

The CA-GFX adapter fits directly to the bayonet of the GFX camera body and the lens aperture is controlled electronically when dialling in the required f-stop. As there is no direct connection between lens and body, there is no data received; aperture, auto-focus or EXIF, from the lens.

Why make this lens adapter?

The Fujifilm GFX50s sensor measures 33x44mm and Canon lenses such as the 17mm T-SE and 24mm T-SE have very large image circles, they will cover the sensor size and will enable the photographer to apply movement.

The CA-GFX (Product code: 99070301) is available from your local dealer.
