ANNOUNCEMENT
NEW GEAR! We are thrilled to announce the latest project from @old_fast_glass and @ofgcustoms – The OFG Customs 65.
With the release of the @fujifilmx_us GFX100 II, we knew we wanted to develop a camera system that would harness the full potential of this camera. It has one of the largest available sensors for cinematography approaching the size of the Alexa 65.
We modified the camera, and designed a new housing that completely integrates the camera, RAW Recorder, video/power distro, cooling system, cage, handle/EVF, and baseplate systems, ready for the demands of professional sets. We wanted to remove the mess of cables, rods, adapters, and messy builds that come with using compact mirrorless cameras. In short, we wanted you to pull the camera out of the case, attached a battery and lens, and you’re ready to shoot.
Why make a GFX100 II bigger? It’s already a capable, compact camera ready to shoot professional video. But we wanted the full size, “studio” version of the camera with more functionality. Now you can go into the field with an OFG Customs 65 as A-Cam, and take a couple standard GFX100 II as your B and C-Cams, and they will all give you the same gorgeous images, but in different form factors for different needs. The 65 is on sticks, dolly, crane, or handheld, while the stripped down GFX100 II can be on a gimbal, car mount, or even crash cam. And they will all be giving post production the same look, and the same codec, making both set and post production easier.
If you are curious to get first looks at the camera, we will be at NAB Sunday and Monday, Central Hall near the Fujililm exhibit. We hope to see you there! The camera is available now for rentals!
CineD is at the NAB show and has the GFX100II cinema camera covered on YouTube (see below)
Old Fast Glass says in the interview they would not have made the effort to make such a camera if it had only a full frame sensor. But when the GFX100II came out the specs where amazing and the sensor is much larger than full frame, so they decided they want to make it. They also love Fujifilm color science.
Old Fast Glass also said that Fujifilm was very excited about this project. It’s a win-win for both, as it validates their GFX camera for cinema use.
You can check out the full interview below as well as see the camera covered on the CineD website.
There are lots of third parties selling it at a discount at Amazon (it is still at full price at BHphoto here and Adorama here).
To pick your best option, go to this page here. You should see a rebated Instax Wide Printer. Once on this page, look on the right side of the page for “Other sellers on Amazon“, click on it, and a window will pop up with all possible options.
The lowest price option you’ll see for a new one is -43%, but that one is shipped and sold by a retailer with relatively low review ratings.
But starting from -39% you’ll find several offers shipped by Amazon and sold by third parties with high ratings.
Some retailers with high ratings selling it with a 39% discount are:
HD sales + shipped by Amazon (100% positive rating in last 12 months)
1Stop2Save + shipped by Amazon (95% positive rating in last 12 months)
Homegoods Shop + shipped by Amazon (95% positive rating in last 12 months)
That’s the situation at least at the time of this article.
I own the printer myself. Just today I had fun printing images with it. My (older) son is sick so we were lazy on the couch and we looked for nice image to print. Nice way to pass some time together and now we look where to stick the images in our apartment.
