Well over 20K people has so far backed the new Peak Design Roller Pro.
This means Peak Design has now raised about 12 Million dollars with the Peak Design Roller Pro.
The Kickstarter campaign ends April 17, so these are the last hours to back it with the usual Kickstarter pre-order discount.
There is also an all new XL Camera Cube to store and organize your camera gear.
Late last year SG-image launched their first autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount, the SG-image AF 55mm f/1.8.
Now they will soon expand their offering by launching the SG-image AF 25mm F1.8.
Some specs as shared by the Chinese weibo account 独立摄影师联合会 here.
Just another lens from China without aperture ring… exactly what we needed ;). But hey, at least it comes with some fancy colors.
DxO PureRAW 5 is now available at the DxO website here.
DxO PureRAW 5 comes with (among the others) local adjustments, a new redesigned interface and there is also a new DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans Beta. But keep in mind that DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans Beta will initially not work with X-Trans 5 files.
You can read all the details at the DxO page here.

Soon Fujifilm will suspend orders for the black Fujifilm X-M5.
But as of now, you can still pre-order it.
In fact, for the first time ever since its announcement last year, BHphoto is taking preorders on the black Fujifilm X-M5.
As of now, you can order the black X-M5 with XC15-45 kit lens, whereas the black X-M5 body only is not yet available for order.
Adorama is taking pre-orders on the black X-M5 body here and black X-M5 with kit lens here.
At Amazon, the silver X-M5 kit is currently the best selling mirrorless camera new release (and 3rd in the overall mirrorless camera ranking) and the silver X-M5 body only is ranked 5th in the same ranking. But the black X-M5 is not available for order.
Also the Fujifilm GFX100RF and X100VI are subject to order suspension.
But at BHphoto you can still pre-order the Fujifilm GFX100RF, whereas you can no longer place orders on the X100VI.
Also Adorama still takes orders on the GFX100RF here and X100VI here, whereas Amazon is not taking anymore orders since shortly after launch and Moment has closed pre-orders for GFX100RF already.
We told you that Fujifilm is about to suspend all orders for Fujifilm X-M5 black, GFX100RF and X100VI. You can read the article here.
Given the enormous tariffs, also a price increase is likely, but I have no details on that.
I don’t know if GFX100RF and black X-M5 units have already reached US soil before the tariffs. If they did, then it is very likely the only batch of cameras US residents will be able to get at regular launch price.
It might not be a bad idea to order now at regular price and hope to get it shipped by April 24, which is when the GFX100RF and X-M5 black should start shipping.
The only good thing of all this mess, is that very likely second hand prices will go up quite a bit. So if you were planing to sell some gear, soon you should be able to sell it at a higher price.
But that’s a very meager consolation, considering that for many camera stores, especially the smaller ones, these tariffs might represent an existential threat.

Main improvements of NF-GFX v1.40 – 2025/4/13 – Version 1.40
Note: We have fixed the IBIS performance issues when activating in-body correction functions. Now there is no need to turn off the auto corrections for IBIS. But if you prefer to manually set the correction in camera menu, you may still disable the auto corrections. To disable it for individual lens: change the corresponding configuration item’s value to 0.
Please download and install the new firmware here.
