Fujifilm

Okay, I bought the Fujifilm X-T4...

And I received it today.

I got it with the battery grip, since I normally shoot a lot of portraits and I refuse to hold the camera in a stupid way, when I can hold it in a great and ergonomic way. I don’t care that it gets bigger and a bit heavier, it’s a much better grip than without it + obviously the battery time x 3. It is a bit bigger and more hefty than the X-T2 with battery grip, which is only positive.

I bought Fujifilm’s twin battery charger, but it was back ordered, so have to wait for it, but it really takes forever to charge all three batteries in the camera, so I hope the wait won’t be too long. For landscape work I am gonna order an L-bracket from Really Right Stuff for it, and a cage from Small since I’m gonna start filming as well.

Don’t know if I’ll review it after using it for a while, don’t think I will be adding that much, since there are already lots of reviews online. We’ll see. Hopefully I can get out soon to test it, maybe in the weekend.

Fujifilm promoting GFX 50 with topless model

So apparently Fujifilm tried to promote its new medium format camera, the GFX 50 with a half naked female model in a room full of men. The camera is innovative and something fresh, but the way they tried to promote it wasn't. This has stirred up a bit of a shit storm, which is perfectly understandable. 

Now I don't have a problem with nudity what so ever, and I shoot nudes myself, but what happened here is not cool and does not feel very fresh. 

Well, read the article.
