Focus on Glass

Fujifilm continues to launch dedicated “Focus On Glass” promo videos to their lenses, new and old ones.

Today I’d like to highlight the one they released about the Fujinon XF200mm f/2 R LM OIS WR, a lens that belongs to the very best ones Fujifilm ever made, and is hard to beat in terms of IQ also by similar lenses of other brands. You do get what you pay for!

So how did Fujifilm achieve this tremendous image quality? In the Promo video, managers and engineers explain:

Fujifilm X-E4

A few weeks ago we broke the rumor that the Fujifilm X-E4 will not have a fixed screen.

Among the 180+ comments shared in that article, some were surprised, as this would be the first X-E camera after the X-E1, X-E2, X-E2S and X-E3 not to have a fixed screen, whereas others feared/hoped for a fully articulating screen like Fujifilm X-T4 and X-S10, given the 2020 rise of selfie screens.

Now sources would like me to clarify that the X-E4 will not have a fully articulating screen like the one the X-S10 or X-T4.

As a former owner of all X-E cameras (except X-E2s), I would have been totally fine with a fixed screen, but depending on which design Fujifilm chooses, I could be happy also with a non-fixed screen. I wrote my preferences here.

I would like to wish to all FR-readers merry Christmas and I want to take this little space to say thank you to:

🖤 to our amazing sources, who are always helping me to find the right track in the thick rumor jungle
🖤 to all those, who supported me by using affiliate links or clicking on google banners. It’s really as simple as that: without your help, this blog would have to close tomorrow morning
🖤 to all those FR-readers, who shared Fujifilm news with me, commented kindly, criticized my work constructively, voted a survey, shared an article on social media or simply stopped by to read this blog

Without your help and your massive engagement, this blog would just be a sad place with no comments and no breaking rumors, incapable of bringing fire and excitement into the Fujifilm community.

Your wonderful support is the best Christmas present I can think of for this blog, and I feel blessed and lucky for that.

I am thankful with all my heart and I’ll try to give back something to this community by working as hard as I can to keep you informed and up to date will all things Fuji X and GFX.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays,
love you guys,
Patrick

Feel free to donate a few bucks to KNGO, an NGO who gives access to free education to poor kids in Cambodia, and which we raised $5,000 for in the past. You find the paypal link in the FR sidebar. Donate even just a few bucks helps a lot, even more so in these difficult times.

It’s the helpers, who make this world a better place.
