photo reportage_zpswoez9atm.jpg

Fujifilm invited the popular French photography site focus-numerique (translation) to visit the Fujifilm factory (1 out of 5 factories in Japan), where the X100T, X-T1 and several XF lenses are assambled.

In this specific case you can see how they assamble the XF 16-55 lens.

As a reminder, at the bottom is the video of the Fujinon Craftsmanship, shared back in October 2014. From the polishing to the mold pressing, from the assembling to the final check (where each lens is carefully checked by skilled technicians) and the packaging… and at the end of the chain, there is somewhere a happy X-shooter enjoying the great quality of the glass.

Also time to update the “favorite Fujinon lens” poll, since we now have some new entires.

NOTE: the ver.2 of the XC lenses is not included, since it’s not really available at the moment.

Share

photo iridient_zpsitgfxplq.jpg

Brian from Iridient just posted new Fujifilm X-Trans (APS-C) film style presets for Iridient Developer 3! The download includes a ReadMe file with detailed instructions on installation and use.

All previous styles have been updated and Classic Chrome has now been added. These styles are now saved as Iridient Developer 3 “preset” type files with just the specific adjustments necessary for the color styles so they can be used without altering other adjustments like sharpening or noise reduction. The previous (preset pack #3) styles have also been updated to the new “preset” file type and are included as well for those that want to be able to keep the identical color rendering as the older versions.

The download is a 12MB zip file and is available here:

[UDPATE] WHAT A DEAL! Brand New Black Fujifilm X100T for just $1,049 (save $250) :: Silver Version for $1,099

Share

photo X100T_zpsuytjo0kf.jpg

[UPDATE: Some readers say in the comments that they had bad experiences with this seller. Tyler, the reader who shared the deal with FR (and previoulsy bought the X100T for $1,049) told me that 42photo tried to sell him also an extended warranty, he declined and received his discounted X100T with one day delay. As I said in the original post, best is to call them directly, and if you are not convinced, do not buy. NOTE: I’m located in Europe, so I normally trust what you guys tell me. In this case, the first to tell me about was Tyler, who complaint about the 1 day delay and their attempt to try to sell him an additional warranty, but he got his X100T for the discounted price]

UDPATE: It’s “an import model” and carries “only a 30-day in-store warranty.”

You’ll think: “To good to be true!” But that’s not fiction, that’s real.

NY store 42photo is offering the black Fujifilm X100T (Condition: Brand New) for just $1,049 ($250 rebate + Free Cleaning Kit). FR-reader Tyler (who passed me this deal, thanks) already purchased one a few weeks ago for this price. Also the silver version is in offer for $1,099 ($200 rebate)

There is a phone number you can call, to speak directly with 42photo and talk about this deal. So I invite you to click on this link, look for the number and call them, ask everything you want to know about this deal, and then eventually  place your order.

UK residents can save £130 in the black or silver X100T at wexphotographic here.
