DUNE Cinematographer Greig Fraser Tests Fujifilm GFX Eterna

Greig Fraser, cinematographer of the Dune blockbuster movies and author of the highly rated Dune: Exposures book, is apparently already testing a working unit of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX Eterna filmcamera.

We can see that from an story shared by Greig on his Instagram page a few days ago here.

The Fujifilm GFX Eterna will be released this year, along with the first dedicated GF video-centric lens, the Fujinon GF32-90mmF3.5.

Speaking of Dune: Chiabella James, author of the book Dune Part 1 – The Photography took the behind the scenes images of the Dune movie with Fujifilm APS-C gear, as we reported here.

Fujifilm and Hollywood always had a special feeling.

From Avatar to Mission Impossible, from Oppenheimer to Dunkirk and Joker. Fujifilm gear is used at the biggest movie sets of this world.

Not enough? Then Fujifilm…
