miXed zone

Sure, the Fujifilm X-H1 is just around the corner, and it will be Fuji’s best hybrid video/stills camera. We have rumored the complete 4K specs, we have told you about the internal F-log, the IBIS, we gave you extremely accurate sketches that show you the camera and a lot more.

But fact is, that, already today, Fujifilm cameras are very appreciated for video. So in today’s mixed zone I will include a little dedicated “video” section.

But there is much more… hope you will find some good read amongst it..

and enjoy your weekend :)

“Mr. Leica” Thorsten Overgaard Buys a Fujifilm X-Pro2… and he Likes it A Lot! (miXed zone)

Mr. Leica gets a Fuji

So, if even “Mr. Leica” Thorsten Overgaard decided to grab a Fuji (the X-Pro2), then we now have all the right to say that Fuji is indeed the new Leica :) . A full review of the camera will come after longer testings, but here are Thor’s first impressions.

  • he likes its simplicity (not many buttons) and it brings him back to when he started photography
  • in many ways it feels natural in the hands
  • big compliments to the Fuji manual :)
  • In natural light the skin tones look great and all colors look pretty precise
  • With artificial light in the evening the blue and orange colors are a little bit too strong, but you can get away from auto White balance, but that’s a problem for all cameras to get colors 100% right in such situations
  • he really likes the X-Pro2, and it’s from now on going to travel with with him in a bag with many other Leica gear

Tips for Updating your Firmware

Hollywoods’ Dunkirk Movie Official Photos Taken with Fujifilm X-Pro2 and XF 18-135!

Many of you have probably already heard about (and maybe even seen) Christopher Nolan’s latest blockbuster, Dunkirk (trailer here). [Note: C. Nolan also made Inception, The Dark Knight & more]

Well, if you search for “Dunkirk” on the web, you will probably be redirected to sites like comingsoon.net, where you can see some images (including behind the scenes images) of the movie as well as the trailer.

The images on the set were taken by Melinda Sue Gordon… with… the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and the Fujinon XF 18-135 (at least some of them)… as you can see below.

So yes… the APS-C X-Pro2 and the XF18-135 superzoom were used on the set of one of the biggest movies of the year… and its images were used all over the globe to promote the movie :) !

I own the Fujinon XF 18-135… and I always thought it’s kind of awesome for a superzoom :)

It’s nothing new, that Hollywood loves Fujifilm cameras. The X100S was the travel camera of Hector, in the Movie ““Hector’s Search for Happiness” (which I saw in the airplane, when flying back from Cambodia) and the Fuji X-Pro1 was used in the Movie “The Neon Demon” by Nicolas Winding Refn. X-series cameras are also used in TV series like Parenthood TV, The Last Ship and by lots of celebrities.

Full Overview of X-series cameras spotted in Movies or used by celebrities here.

Thanks to the FR-reader who directed my attention these Chinese Forums here and here.
