Message to Source: About that Camera, the Answer is…

Share

Two days ago a source, who was right in the past and uses a nickname, contacted via anonymous rumor box me asking if I had heard of a certain camera.

I have no way to give that source a private answer, since it contacts me via rumor box, which is why I hope you readers apologize me if I make a FujiRumors blog post for this purpose.

To the source: nope, I have never heard anything about the camera you told me about. I will check with my trusted sources and see if they know anything about it.

Just an idea: if you want, we can get in touch via Signal. It’s also 100% anonymous, but it would allow us to chat directly to each other and I could keep you quickly informed if I hear anything about it. But if prefer not to, that’s OK, too. You can keep using your nickname when you use the rumor box, and I will use your feedback as data points for my investigations.

How to Signal…

If anyone wants to get in touch with me using Signal

Signal can be downloaded on your Phone, but you can use it also on your desktop (it’s required that you have the App installed on your phone already). You can download Signal for Desktop here.

While you need your phone number to register, Signal doesn’t share it with me or anyone else. You can create a random nickname to contact me.

DUNE Cinematographer Greig Fraser Tests Fujifilm GFX Eterna

Share

Greig Fraser, cinematographer of the Dune blockbuster movies and author of the highly rated Dune: Exposures book, is apparently already testing a working unit of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX Eterna filmcamera.

We can see that from an story shared by Greig on his Instagram page a few days ago here.

The Fujifilm GFX Eterna will be released this year, along with the first dedicated GF video-centric lens, the Fujinon GF32-90mmF3.5.

Speaking of Dune: Chiabella James, author of the book Dune Part 1 – The Photography took the behind the scenes images of the Dune movie with Fujifilm APS-C gear, as we reported here.

Fujifilm and Hollywood always had a special feeling.

From Avatar to Mission Impossible, from Oppenheimer to Dunkirk and Joker. Fujifilm gear is used at the biggest movie sets of this world.

Not enough? Then Fujifilm…
