Today, Saturday the 26th of November, 2022 at the pinnacle of #NationalSkinCancerActionWeek
@SkinCheckChampions and @SpencerTunick invited 2500 people to #StripOffForSkinCancer. Participants paid homage to the lives lost from Skin Cancer in Australia. https://t.co/Dwvy0ASK1K pic.twitter.com/xYd9OjwkUp— Spencer Tunick (@SpencerTunick) November 26, 2022
One of the best things one can do with photography, is to raise awareness for important issues.
And that’s what world-renown photographer Spencer Tunick did with his latest installment, where he photographed 2,500 nude people at Bondi Beach beach in Australia with the goal to draw attention to skin cancer (2,500 was also the number of people, who died last year on skin cancer in Australia).
Various news outlets report about this (see below), and in some of them you can see him using a Fujifilm GFX camera for his work.
It does not matter which gear he used. But having literally just this month lived on my own skin how important it is to make regular checks, I’ll use the GFX as a pretext to join the message Spencer is spreading with his work and remind everybody to make regular checks.

Apparently Annie Leibovitz is not really following the photography forums and certain gear youtubers, otherwise she would know that the Fujifilm GFX100S is a completely useless tool because:
Limited by her gear, Annie stucks with minor gigs like photographing the two most iconic soccer players of the last 15 years, Ronaldo and Messi, for an insignificant company like Louis Vuitton in the context of a negligable event like the FIFA World Cup.
If only she would listen to certain big YouTubers, she would get rid of her GFX gear and finally be able to shine artistically by recording selfie videos in a basement.
The day will come, when wisdom will finally illumiate her. Until then, you can see a video of her working with GFX, Messi and Ronaldo as well as the final image below.
And btw… the gear Annie uses, is now heavily discounted.
NOTE: this is a satirical post… we don’t take life too seriously on weekends, right? ;) And thanks to our Greek friends at pttl.gr who spotted the news and shared it with us.

Do you remember when Fujifilm patented the Fujinon XF300mm f/4 and XF500mm f/5.6 a couple of years ago?
And despite my warnings telling you not to expect such lenses soon (if ever), there are still a good amount of people who believe these patents are a strong indication for that gear to come soon.
So I will never be tired to make disclaimers: in 99,999% of the cases those patents never see the light of the day in a real product.
In fact, in over a decade of covering patents here on FujiRumors, I have seen 1 patent out of hundreds become real… and that patent was actually found only after Fujifilm released that gear.
Does this mean that covering patents is useless?
Yes… if you see it from the point of view of gear to come in future. You better look at our rumors for that purpose.
Any yet, these patents are a nice way to let us discuss on what Fujifilm should do in future and if such lenses would be appreciated among the Fujifilm community.
So down below are one by one all the latest patents.
