The Fujifilm Spring Deals are running in May. You can see all deals here.
In addition to the deals, Fujifilm USA and Skylum teamed up to offer you the chance to win a 4 day trip to Iceland (for US residents only). If you win the trip, you’ll get an X-T3 and XF18-55 on top of it. Check out all details here.
I thought to grab this opportunity to ask the Fujifilm wedding photographers out there, what you consider the best lenses for wedding photography. Feel free to vote the poll down below.

Pixel Village visited the Fujifilm factory in Japan. Above you can see the video, which I will let you start at minute 2:30 (the moment they enter the factory). Here are some info we get from the video:
70 Fujifilm GFX 50R are assembled in an 8 hour shift
the leather fixing on the Fujifilm X-H1 took the Japanese worker 1 minute and 50 seconds
you see the red badge XF lens assembly line and manual lens elements alignment
some stuff was not permitted to be filmed, such as robots putting lens mounts together
they were surprised how much technology, work and passion is behind something that we take for granted
at the end Fujifilm asked in a feedback session what they could improve in their quality standards, but it would be like if the sun would ask how to make light
Down below you can see some screenshots from the video.
Photons to Photos added the Panasonic S1R full frame camera to their database, and you can now compare it to all other cameras, including the Fujifilm GFX 50s and GFX 50R. You can manipulate the chart here.
When it comes to maximum photographic dynamic range, the Panasonic S1R is slightly better than the Fujifilm GFX50S.
While Fujifilm offers deals about 2 or 3 times a year, traditionally the best deals happen between February/March, since the Japanese fiscal year ends in March, and Fujifilm tries hard to sell as much as possible to show up with better figures in front of investors.
