FR-readers asked me if I know if Rico Pfirstinger is going to publish a book about the Fujifilm X-T5. Well, the answer is definitely yes, and in fact it is available for pre-order already at Amazon US here. According to Amazon, it will be released on July 11. RockNook also says it will come in July 2023.
He is also working on the equivalent Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2s book. That one will come in August.
CineD gives us a look inside the Fujifilm factory and shows us how the Fujinon XF 150-600mm f/5.6-8 R LM OIS WR is made.
It’s one of the first factory tours we get after a long time, as during the pandemic no media was allowed into the Sendai factory about 2.5 hours north of Toyko.
There is not much new to learn, except for the fact that it takes 480 parts in order to assemble a single lens. But it is always nice to take a look inside the factory and see how much work and also care goes into the manufacturing of our gear.
Here on FujiRumors the XF150-600mm was a huge hit making it in the top three positions of the best selling lenses of 2022.

At the time of this post, AmazonUS here and BHphoto here are offering the Fujinon GF50mm f/3.5 with a 30% rebate.
At BHphoto here, you also get a free UV filter on top of it.
This is not an official deal, so no idea how long it will remain available.
I own this lens and it makes the perfect everyday walkaround lens for the GFX100S, making your 100MP medium format system ridiculously compact and light. When I am out with my family and decide to take the GFX100S, then this is the lens I glue on it.
Fujifilm has just launched a rebate on the Fujifilm Instax Link Wide Printer.
You save 20% on the printer and as far as I can see only BHphoto offers also a free wide film pack on top of it (worth another 20 bucks).
Get the deal at BHphoto here and at other stores like AmazonUS here, Adorama here and Focuscamera here.
And Europe? Well, some Amazon EU branches are also offering rebates. Make sure to check out your local Amazon here.
Which are the best cameras for landscape photography?
DPRTV looks at three different price points and makes its recommendations.
There is also a Fujifilm camera among the winners, the Fujifilm GFX100S, in the “money is no object” category.
DPRTV says:
There is no disputing that the Fujifilm GFX medium format cameras are the best option for landscape. Our choice is the Fujifilm GFX100S. What is not to love: you get that amazing 100MP sensor clearly well suited for landscape photography. We also prefer the GFX100S body over the GFX100 because it is more compact. You get nice ergonomics. The Fuji style tilt screen is certainly nice for landscape when you are at awkward angles and it is just easier to travel with.
Fujifilm also has an excellent line of lenses, including the GF20-35mmF4, which is very rare in medium format to have an ultra wide range like that and it’s also a very sharp lens.
It has IBIS and it’s very effective.
If you need more megapixel, you can shoot in multi-shot and get 400MP images.
There is simply no better pick for landscape photography than the Fujifilm GFX100S, if money is no object.
