dscf5267Fuji X Secrets Ultimate is a unique workshop experience for Fujifilm X-series enthusiasts from all around the world. This workshop will be conducted by Fuji „X-Pert“ Rico Pfirstinger in English and takes place from Nov. 12 – Nov. 19 in Phuket (Thailand). A second workshop from Nov. 19 – Nov. 26 will be available in German.

A Stunning Place for Sharing X-Secrets

We have rented one of Phuket’s most beautiful villas exclusively for our small group of delegates and their respective guests – a beautiful place where we, a fellowship of like-minded X enthusiasts, will have ample space for photo shoots, training lessons and informal discussions. It’s a place where we can not only learn from each other, but also relax, enjoy great food, refresh in the infinity pool, sip a cocktail at the bar or simply have a great time.

Daily Training Segments and Excursions – and Bring Along a Friend!

02-pool-terrace-level-4-1030x684In addition to daily seminar segments, we will also offer daily photo excursions in and around Phuket in cars and drivers that belong to our villa. Also, each delegate can share his or her room with one guest, such as a friend, family member or loved one. So there’s no need to leave your partner behind.

Fuji X Secrets Ultimate is an unforgettable “X-perience” for everybody who wants to live and breathe the spirit of the Fujifilm X-series together with a small group of like-minded fellows in a unique environment. This comprehensive workshop will be truly special, and it will certainly tell you Everything You Always Wanted to Know About X, But Were Afraid to Ask.

Capture One Pro 9: Download Now Completely Reworked and Improved Fujifilm Film Simulations Profiles (incl. ACROS)

Capture One still does not officially offer Fuji Film Simulation profiles. But don’t worry, FXF member fleckintosh and Scottie Wang invested a lot of time (several weeks!) to create and optimize their own homebrew:

“Here is a completely reworked, refined Set of ICC Profiles for Capture One, made for X-T1. It matches the In-Camera Filmsimulations much better than the original Set, which I posted last October here.

Another Set, made for X-Pro2, Incl. ACROS ICC Profiles, is also included in this post. I renamed them to have an alternative Option for my X-T1. These ICC are slightly different, Blacks & Shadows & Colors are more decent.”

Happy Download at the FXF here.

XF23mmF2 WR Hands On

Zed ProMedia could try out the new Fuji X-T2 at a Fuji event. At the same event, the Fuji Rep also brought the new XF23mmF2 WR, which, as I told you here, will come on August 25 along with the X-A3.

Here is his feedback about the XF23mmF2 WR:

  1. Focus Speed is as fast, if not faster than the XF35mmF2 WR
  2. AF-moter is super-quite
  3. Aperture Ring has about the same resitance of the one in the XF 35mmF2
  4. Focus Ring about double the thickness of the one in the XF35mmF2 WR – See This Leaked Real Life Image
  5. The XF23mmF2 WR is about half an inch (1,3 cm) longer than the XF35mmF2
