Fujifilm X photographer Jens Krauer, who runs the FujiLove podcast, hosted Hugh Brownstone in his latest episode.
Both have excellent connections with Fujifilm, and I’d like to highlight the gear related part of their talk.
The whole 1+ hour episode is well worth to listen, so head over at sticher or Fujilove.
Thanks to the anonymous FR reader for letting me know, and looking forward to hear from you again ;).
→ Good luck in finding your deal at AmazonUS. Here are some links to Prime Day Deal categories:

It’s summer, which means 2 full months of holidays from my teaching job!
I have already passed 2 weeks with that annoying SonyAlphaRumors guy in beautiful Croatia. :)
However, I have no other travels planed, given that I married in May and must a little bit recover financially now (*).
So, together with my wife we decided to spend most of our summer just hiking on the mountains around my home. And frankly, I do not desire nor need more than this right now.
Sometimes we sleep on a mountain hut and enjoy the sunrises at high altitude (and with a bit of luck also meeting fellow Fujifilm shooters up there).
We might, though, make one short honeymoon city trip, maybe to Paris?
Ok, I hear you, come to the point! Camera comparison, NOW!
Well, since I bought the Fujifilm X-E3, I have basically never touched my trusty Fujifilm X-T1 anymore (which still holds the sceptre for taking my all time favorite image).
My wife kindly invited me to sell it, but the answer I could give her was no other than this one :).
So, to justify the fact that I still own the X-T1, I took it out for a recent mountain hike, put it into my Camslinger bag, and shot again a whole day with it.
It was like rediscovering the Fujifilm X-T1, and here are 3 things I loved and hated about shooting with it again.

In the last few weeks, we covered a couple of new Chinese Fujifilm X mount lenses here on FujiRumors, such as the brand new 7Artisans 60mm F2.8 1:1 Macro and the Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 MK II.
In 2019, a lot of buzz has been created also by the first third-party reverse-engineered autofocus X mount lens, the Chinese Viltrox 85mmF1.8, whereas in 2018 the Lawoa 9mm f/2.8 was the very best seller here on FujiRumors (yep, it sold better than ANY Fujinon XF lens amongst FR-readers).
Chinese lenses: the price is (mostly) low, the quality goes up and the sales explode!
Here are the best selling ones.
It looks like the lable “made in China” is no longer something photographers are too skeptical of.
Today I’d like to ask you if you own any of these lenses, and if you want, you can share your feedback in the comments down below. Your feedback might be helpful for the rest of the Fujifilm community.
