We talk lots of good stuff about Fujifilm. And that’s right so, as they deserve it.
And yet, not everything Fujifilm does is right all the time.
In the past, I did run over 7 major errors Fujifilm did (or is doing) and wrote a dedicated article about it:
Today I’d like to focus on three errors that are for sure minor, but they are annoying anyway and show that sometimes Fujifilm really does not think it through.
The French website Phototrend had the opportunity to visit the Fujifilm factory in Taiwa, Japan, which where many premium Fujifilm gear is made, but not only premium. For example, also Fujifim’s oldest X mount lens, the legendary Fujinon XF35mm F1.4 R is assembled here.
In this tour, Fujifilm will also tell you which is the most complex gear to manufacture. Spoiler: it’s this beast here, which consists of over 1,000 pieces!!!
There is lots of interesting stuff to read and see, but I found one sentence particularly interesting: “adjustment is the key to image quality“.
So while the assembly takes time and is indeed complex, all the micro-adjustments made during and after the assembly are crucial to ensure a consistent and high quality product.
Down is a quick summary where you can read all the details as well as some images.
