FujiRumors is nice and good.

You get exclusive rumors, fresh news and overall it is just a useful and informative place to be for Fujifilm X and GFX lovers (at least I hope you perceive it this way, too).

But it has one major limit: it’s a one man show.

And while this is good, because news and rumors are filtered through my expertise, making sure for example that fake rumors have no space here, the disadvantage is that there’s a single perspective at play, which can sometimes limit diversity in opinions.

But luckily there is a way to “escape” my unilateral view on the Fujifilm system.

You can always comment below, but you can also join the vibrant Fujifilm communities linked below, in which you will find and can share all possible thoughts and ideas about the Fujifilm system… and especially, you will be able to enjoy TONS of images taken with Fujiflm gear.

BCN

BCN has tracked the sales of camera sales in Japan for January, and here are the results:

• Sony – 29.7%
• Canon – 26.3%
• Fujifilm – 15.9%
• Other – 28.1

They do mention the Fujifilm X-M5 as an important factor contributing to this growth, which pushes Fujifilm above Nikon.

The Fujifilm X-M5 accounts for about half of the company’s total sales and contributes significantly to the increase in market share

The Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR lens is now in stock at:

• BHphoto here
• Adorama here
• Amazon here

The lens has been announced over 4 years ago… so let’s hope it won’t take four more years to see it available again after this batch runs out of stock :)
