Update: I have been contacted by Disqus. They informed me they fixed the issue :)

Hey guys,

Just a quick technical note.

In the last few days I have received some complaints about occasional pop-up ads on FujiRumors when surfing from mobile device.

I haven’t had the issue on my devices, but thanks to your help I could investigate the issue anyway and found it. The problem is related to the comment system we use, Disqus. And in fact, not only FujiRumors, but also other sites like PetaPixel (who uses Disqus) are affected.

I have contacted Disqus and pretended a quick fix, and they are working on it.

Don’t worry, it’s no virus or anything like this. I guess Disqus has to make some changes in the settings, which should happen soon.

In the meantime, sorry for further issues you will experience while Disqus is working on this.

MY POLICY

Pop-up ads are something I do NOT want on FR. If in future you should notice them, let me know quickly, and I will investigate the issue and take all necessary measurements to fix it (including banning the ad provider).

I apologize for the inconvenience and I’d like to say thanks to those of you, who, behind the scenes, helped me to find the issue of the pop-ups by cooperating with me.

You are awesome :)

Adobe just update Lightroom Standalone to version 6.13 and Lightroom Classic CC 7.0.1

We get Fujifilm X-E3 support.

Will this be the last upgrade of Lightroom Standalone? Adobe says:

As we align our investments in the direction of supporting our subscription-based products, the last version of Lightroom 6 will be coming out towards the end of the year.   If there is a camera not supported in Lightroom 6, you can use the DNG converter before importing your images into Lightroom 6.

Full Press Release

Things seem to go quite well for Fujifilm.

Their imaging division is healthy and registers “substantial increase in income“, some managers dream of 50% market share, and Fujifilm’s declared goal is to become Nr.1 mirrorless premium camera manufacturer within 2019.

Considering that from 2011 to 2013 Fujifilm sold overall only 700,000 X-series cameras, I’d say the company has made quite some significant step forwards from 2014 to 2017. The camera that changed everything, was the Fujifilm X-T1, which is now discontinued, and I dedicated an emotial farewell in this article.

And now we have some more significant data, that show that more and more people are looking at the Fuji X system.

According to data send out by lensrentals from the their press contact and reported by fstoppers, the Fujifilm X-system has seen huge rental increase in 2017. Fstoppers writes:

“Fuji lenses skyrocketed, showing 96 percent more rentals. Sony lenses also increased 22 percent, while Canon and Nikon decreased 8 and 10 percent, respectively.”

Some more significant data:

• Canon lenses are still Nr.1, taking up 9 out of 10 spots
• Sony is now more popular than Nikon
• Canon 5D MKIII top rented camera, followed by Sony A7SII and Canon 5D Mark IV

Thanks to FR reader VatArt Photo for spotting the news and sharing with us :)
