Fujifilm has launched a “Rento to Own Program” in some countries, and I hope the program will expand also to others.
Full details below and also at Fujifilm South Africa youtube.
Fujifilm Rent-to-Own makes owning a camera easier
Weekend curiosity :)
Recently we have asked you in a poll, which one of the new lenses on the Fujifilm XF roadmap you are interested to buy.
Turns out the XF33mmF1.0 is the most desired lens in the community, followed by the XF 16-80mmF4 and las the XF16mmF2.8.
And just like many of us are impatiently waiting for the XF 33mm f/1.0, it seems that stores can’t wait to finally start selling the “world’s first mirrorless lens with F1.0 maximum aperture and AF capability“.
In fact, EU store Cameranu has already listed as available for pre-order the XF 33mm F1.0, which, according to the Fujifilm roadmap, will be available in 2020.
Cameranu also listed the XF 16-80/4 and XF 16/2.8. Down below you can find the product description.
I remind you that, based on technical sketches delivered by Fujifilm, here on FujiRumors you can already find size comparisons between the XF16mmF2.8 and XF16-80mmF4 Vs. other Fujinon lenses.

A new source has just send me the images of the Fujifilm compatible Elinchrom Trigger (working prototpyes), that will be officially launched in September, as we reported here.
This time it really seems that Elinchrom will make it happen :)
I asked the source about the reason for the Fujifilm support delay, and it’s my understanding that Elinchrom knew they had the ELB 500TTL in the pipeline, so they wanted to release the Fujifilm transmitter with TTL from the start to not have to rework shortly after a previous version, plus they wanted to integrated the Rotolight features from the start too.

Andrew Gibson is a fellow Fujifilm X shooter, and he has just published his new eBook “Lightroom Secrets, Course Notes: Learn Lightroom’s Hidden Tips, Tricks and Secrets“.
It’s a major publication with over 250 pages and 40,000 words and over half the photos in the book were taken with a Fujifilm X-T1.
The book sells regulary for $39, but until the end of August you can get it for $29 only using code august10 at checkout.

Busy news days! Here a few of the articles published in the last 36 hours on FR:
A powerful new sensor, a fast processor, 20fps bursts, packed with many new features, the best Fujifilm X series camera ever made… and yet, the Fujifilm X-T3 won’t be that pricy as one could imagine.
In fact, I have been told by a trusted source (thanks), that the Fujifilm X-T3 will cost less than the Fujifilm X-T2 at it’s current official price tag (without rebates), hence less than $1,599.
$1,499? $1,399? Or even less, maybe $1,299 like the X-T1 launch price? Now that thing starts to be affordable also for my savings account :).
But one thing is sure: competition is a good thing for us customers, since I doubt Fujifilm would have sold the Fujifilm X-T3 for a lower price than X-T2, if the Full Frame Sony A7III would not have hit the market with a $2,000 price tag.
And if the rumor of the X-T3 stacked sensor is true, then the Fujifilm X-T3 is basically a Sony A9 for about 1/3 of the price.
