Behind the X Gear: Meet Barry Wetcher, the X-shooter, Who Brings Fujifilm to Hollywood

Behind the X Gear

Fujifilm and Hollywood have a special feeling.

Not only because the gorgeous looking Fujifilm cameras seem to be very telegenic and hence are often used in movies, as we documented several times here on FR (and more will come), but also because Fujifilm X gear is actually used by professional photographers to capture the behind the scenes of big blockbusters, such as the X-Pro2 and XF 18-135 used to snap the official images of the highly awarded Dunkirk movie, as we reported here.

In today’s “Behind the X Gear” episode, we would like to meet one of those photographers, who work with Fujifilm gear on the biggest Hollywood sets: Barry Wetcher.

Before we start with the interview, here is a short bio of Barry Wetcher:

Fujifilm X-T20 with XC 15-45mm Pre-order Available and Shipping June 18

Share

New Kit on the Shop

It had to happen sooner or later, and now it did: Fujifilm is offering the new XC 15-45mm PZ OIS zoom as a kit lens not only for its entry level Fujifilm X-A5 and Fujifilm X-T100, but starting from today also for the Fujifilm X-T20.

You can pre-order your kit today and it will ship on June 18.

We already reported that Fujifilm removed the XC 16-50mm MKII from their complete X series guide, which is very likely an indication that it is (or will be soon) discontinued. However, there is still the X-T20 with XC16-50 in stock and even up to $430 off (depending on the bundle) at the time of this post.

tekiac – Fujifilm X-E3 eye cup

Today’s roundup is focused on the Fujifilm X100F.

However, it is almost inevitable to compare the X100F to the Fujifilm X-E3, so we will also investigating the question today: which one is better for you, the X100F or the X-E3?

This is acutally a question I struggled a lot too, before I decided to go for the Fujifilm X-E3.
