For example, ePHOTOzine published their full Fujinon XF70-300mm f/4-5.6 review, giving it 4.5 stars rating and highly recommending it.

Fujifilm Managers Optimism: Potential GFX Customers Number Overwhelmingly Increasing, X-S10 Attracting Young New Customers, 5G and More

The Japanese website phileweb published an interview with Fujifilm managers.

They talk about the momentum the Fujifilm GFX series is experiencing, about the harsh COVID-19 situation, the introduction of the Fujifilm X-S10, the possibilities 5G might offer and more.

Overall, they seem very confident and positive about the future of their imaging division.

Worth to note is the part of the interview, where Fujifilm explains they find it a pity that people just store their images on their phones, and that they try to find ways to motivate people to print.

Once again, statements like these denote the huge photographic culture Fujifilm carries in their DNA, which among the others translates also into a wide variety of ergonomically different cameras that are crafted to be fun to use for different types of photographers.

I feel that for Fujifilm, photography is more than just getting hyperbolic specs on paper. It’s also, and mainly, about cultivating and incentivize our passion and fun for photography.

Down below you’ll find everything summed up, including some parts that I leave exactly like google translated it.

FUJIFILM Issues Notice of Delivery Delay for Some Orders due to Communication Failure after Cyber Attack

Fujifilm has suffered a severe ransomware cyber attack. We reported all the details here.

Now Fujifilm published a follow up statement regarding informing of shipment delays of products. They do not specify which products are affected, but I doubt it won’t affect also X and GFX gear.

Fujifilm Victim of Cyber Attack: Notice of Unauthorized Access to Fujifilm Servers

Fujifilm Attacked

Fujifilm disclosed that they have suffered a ransomware attack and hence there has been unauthorized access to Fujifilm servers. Apparently their servers have been infected by Qbot trojan malware.

Ransomware is a type of malicious software cyber criminals use to block you from accessing your own data by encrypt the files on your system. The hackers will hold your data “hostage” until the demanded ransom is paid.

This is becoming a serious problem for companies, who often have to pay attackers lots of money in bitcoin (basically impossible to track if the attackers makes no errors) to avoid the data being lost forever or shared with other companies.

And how can companies be sure that if they pay the data won’t be shared anyway?

Well, there is a reliability ranking even for those criminal hackers! Companies can see if the hacker kept his word in the past or not.

As I am Italian, I can speak for my country, where these type of crimes saw a raise from 2019 to 2020 of 246%.

What Fujifilm did today is different compared to what many other companies do, as denouncing the hackers would mean to admit the companies’ own vulnerability. Fujifilm was more upfront today, and openly disclosed the attack.

To stop these kind of attacks, companies must absolutely improve their cyber security and bitcoin should be regulated stronger.

ePHOTOzine Fujinon GF80mmF1.7 Review: Impressive Chromatic Aberration Control, Outstanding Sharpness, Superb Image Quality

When the ultra fast Fujinon GF80mmF1.7 was launched, some noticed a minimal sign of fringing when pixel peeping into images to ultra detailed pixel level. Something to worry about?

Apparently not.

According to ePHOTOzine, who just published its full technical review, the GF80mmF1.7 is able to contain chromatic aberration extremely well. They write:

CA (Chromatic Aberration) is also very impressive, centrally being close to zero as we stop down slightly. The edges are also kept well under control.

I did play around with the GF80mmF1.7 of my close friend too (he sold all his Nikon Z gear for the GFX system) and quite frankly it’s a stunning performer in terms of optical quality.

Down below you can see the Pros and Cons of the ePHOTOzine review.
