Fujifilm Hall of Fame

As you might or might not know, 1 or 2 times a year, here on FujiRumors we curate a little column about famous X-shooters or Fujifilm cameras appearing in movies. The best way to check out the full coverage, is to head over to our fuji-x-forum famous X-shooter collection.

Today we would like to add a few more to the list.

We start with National Geographic photographer Corey Arnold. He gets his job done using the Fujifilm GFX 50S, as you can see in this video for a KIA ad [video embedded at the top of this blog post].

Regarding the “famous X shooters“, we have to add Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey, who shoots a Fujifilm X-Pro2 (more on facebook here and image below). And also top UFC fighter (former #1) Joanna Jedrzejczyk shoots Fujifilm [image below]

Also, Fujifilm made it again in various movies, not only in front of the screen, but they are also used to shoot official BTS images in Hollywood blockbusters (as it already happened with the Dunkirk movie).

See all the details down below.

In the last years, Fujifilm often won quite some of awards at the TIPA awards.

• 2017: Fujifilm wins 5 awards
• 2016: Fujifilm wins 3 awards
• 2015: Fujifilm wins 3 awards
• 2014: Fujifilm wins 2 awards
• 2013: Fujfiilm wins 3 awards

Well, this year is the worst for Fujifilm, since the “X-series era“. They won 1 award only, and it goes to the Instax Square SQ10 for the “Best Design“.

So the Fujfiilm X-H1 and Fujifilm X-E3 were not good enought to make it into the TIPA ranking. Let’s hope the upcoming Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm GFX 50R will change it next year.

I am surprised, though, that not even one of the astonishing Fujinon lenses has made it into the list. For example, while the winner of the best mirrorless prime lens, the Samyang AF 35mm F2.8 FE, is surely a fine lens, I can’t see it being superior to the equivalent Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8.

So despite TIPA creating overall 40 categories, there is not much love for Fujifilm this year.
