We have proven it to you in this article: the majority of Fujikina events do not take place in conjunction with Fujifilm X Summits.

In fact, the majority of the Fujikina events in 2024 were scheduled weeks if not months away from any Fujifilm announcement.

Is that clear? So we can move on.

There will be a Fujikina in Brussels on May 24/25. You can sign up for updates here.

Just like the Fujikina in Barcelona, Berlin, Arles and Manila in 2024, also this one could be a completely standalone event (or not). I have no info.

What I am sure, though, is that the next Fujikina on March 22/23 in Prague will follow right after the Fujifilm X Summit on March 20. And yes, Fujifilm X Summit means that new gear is going to be announced.

Stay tuned on FujiRumors for updates.

Fringer has already lots of AF adapters for Fujifilm X and GFX. But more are coming.

Fringer is introducing the following autfocus adapters for CP+:

• Fringer EF-FX Ultra (with focal reducer)
• Fringer P645-GFX

Over at our Fujifilm Film Simulation group, fellow member Phạm had the idea to use AI to detect film simulation settings.

I just launched an AI application to identify Fujifilm users’ presets for shooting. Many people ask if they come across a photo that catches their eye (and I do, too). This application was born from personal needs and a desire to learn more about AI

I find this a great idea, although it is still at its early stages so it won’t work always great (and sometimes it won’t work at all). But I thought I share about it because I’d love this project to be developed and improved further. And if you do to, then make sure to check out the dedicated website here (but not too many at a time, or the website will crash :) )

And if you are a developer, you can check out the code at github here.

Viltrox has released firmware updates for the Vitrox EF-FX1 Pro, EF-FX2 Pro, EF-FX1 and EF-FX2.

2. Fixed the issue where the camera would restart when powering off on the X-H1 and X-T4
3. Fixed the issue where the aperture occasionally becomes unresponsive during shooting
4. Fixed the issue where the camera screen flashes after adjusting the focus position, but the issue is resolved when the shutter button is pressed
