Fujifilm X100F at George Bush Funeral, X-Pro2 at Angela Merkel Press Event, Fujifilm X in Ads and Cinema and More

Fuji X Virus is Spreading

A few times a year, here on FujiRumors we like to curate a little corner, where we collect curiosities, such as famous personalities spotted with Fujifilm gear, Fujifilm gear used at big events or in movies and ads and more.

Here is the last selection of this year.

Professional Work with Fujifilm?

The forums and youtube channels are full people, who repeat ad nauseam that only full frame is for Pros. And they sound so convinced, that they must be right.

Hence, somebody should tell to these 2 photographers, that they are not supposed to use Fujifilm gear for their photojournalistic work. APS-C will completely destroy their professional careers. Ditch Fuji, before it’s too late! :)

• As you can see from the image above, the Fujifilm X100F has been used by photojournalist at Capitol Hill covering the death of George H.W. Bush
• Angela Merkel photographed by Fujifilm X-Pro2 :) Check out the sueddeutsche.de

Fujifilm in Big Newspapers

Alessandro wrote me:

I had a very nice weekend and I want to celebrate Fuji:) One of my photos came out in the Saturday’s edition of The Guardian, a well know British newspaper.

“Camden Town, London -The Mad Hatter (artist Leandro Facundo) has probably been photographed thousands of times, but among the many I’ve taken of him, I like this one in particular. It is intense and delicate”

Taken with a X-Pro2 and 18-55

“Why do you take pictures?”
“Because the only way to change things, is to look at them again, and very slowly”
From Clair’s Camera, where the camera used by the main character is the Fujifilm Instax Mini 70.

HP launched some laptops – it’s reported on various sites such as this one. You can see in some pics such as this one, that there is a “de-branded” X-T2 on the desk near the laptop ;)
