Oh, Look! Blockbuster MONSTER HUNTER Poster Image Snapped with Fujifilm X Series Gear… Although it’s Not Full Frame ;)

Share

Evidently some still don’t get it that APS-C is not for Pros, and this is why we continue to see this:

And now we can add another one to the bunch.

The upcoming Hollywood blockbuster “Monster Hunter” poster image has been taken on a Fujifilm X-T2 (with XF50-140mmF2.8 lens) by fellow Fujifilm X shooter Coco Van Oppens (IG: Cocostills  – IG: monsterhuntermovie)

Coco has shared this information here at our massive X-T group.

I will share the trailer of the movie below, as well as a 1 hour interview with Coco (I’ll let it start at minute 47:08 for you, which is when she talks about the gear she uses. But make sure to watch it all as soon as you have time).

Here is some of the gear she uses:

  • Fujifilm X-T2 / X-T3
  • Fujifilm X-H1
  • XF 16-55mmF2.8
  • XF 50-140mmF2.8

She is looking at the Fujifilm X-T4 as well.

Why does she like Fuji? A lot of reasons:

  • the dials – she does not need to go through the menu
  • electronic shutter
  • fast autofocus
  • out of camera quality

Fujifilm Manager X-S10 Presentation: “Not All Fujifilm Cameras will Have Selfie Screens in Future and We Don’t Hate Mode Dials”

Share

The Japanese youtube channel カメラのキタムラ had a chat with a Fujifilm manager.

The talk gravitates around the Fujifilm X-S10, and quite frankly 90% of what is said is stuff you already know. Here we highlight a few things that we consider more interesting.

The Mode Dial

  • One of the things we wanted to do was “custom position”, which is available from C1 to C4
  • we don’t hate mode dials
  • The X-S10 is a “gate camera” for those who enter the X system. A mode dial for simply operation was adpoted for that reason

The mode dial with C-positions is actually like going back to the roots for the Fujifilm X series, as Fujifilm’s second X series camera ever had already one and it continued with its successor.

If you ask me, bringing it back in what is probably the best value for money mid-range camera on the market, is an extremely smart and urgently needed move. We need more folks to join the X club, and the X-S10 could serve this purpose very well.

Film Simulations + Auto Mode

  • It is no exaggeration to say that the first reason for wanting to use a Fujifilm camera is film simulation
  • By pressing the Q button after displaying the film simulation with the function dial, an explanation of that film simulation will appear
  • An increasing number of younger generations of photography enthusiasts have never shot on film
  • New SP mode will record also RAW and select everything for you, inlcluding film simulation

The Rise of Vary-Angle Screens (selfie screens)

  • Fujifilm is not trying to put vary-angle screens on every camera
  • Each camera has its own personality, and Fujifilm chooses whether to implement a selfie screen depending on the main shooting purpose
  • The 3-axis tilt LCD monitor works effectively for still image shooting, so Fujifilm thinks it will continue to be effective for cameras that focus on still images

In my opinion a 3-way tilt screen is superior also for video shooters. The only advantage of fully articulating screens, is if you want to take selfie images or film yourself.

B&H Photo Shipping First Batch Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0 R WR Lenses

Share

Finally! BHphoto has finally started shipping the Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0, as reported also by our Fujifilm X-T member Michael here.

Finally arrived from B & H but my puppy won’t go outside with me to pose.

What a gorgeous dog lens! (sorry, I am a massive dog lover!)

Fujifilm said that the demand for this lens is overwhelming. I guess not all pre-orders will be fulfilled immediately and in fact I hear of some fellow X shooter getting delivery dates well into December. But at least the delivery started, and let’s hope it will proceed fast from now on.
