FUJI X WEEKLY

Fujifilm Nordic asked if I’d be interested in making a Film Simulation Recipe specifically designed for Denmark that would be unveiled at the upcoming Fujikina event in Copenhagen next month. Of course I said yes! I made three Recipes, and then traveled to Solvang and Catalina Island in California to test them out. Solvang is […]

There was a social media post today from an account that’s not mine, that purported to be my advice for better landscape photography. It included five tips, but I never said those things, and some of them were quite antithetical to what I believe, pretty much the opposite of what I would say. I would […]

Some people like grainy photos, and some people don’t. Back in the film days, there were photographers who chose their film based on the grain. Kodachrome 25 was a one of the finest-grained color films, and some liked it for the near lack of grain. Kodak Tri-X 400 had a strong grain structure, and some […]

Pal2Tech posted a video entitled Fujifilm Settings That Work Against You, and one of the settings he mentioned is Clarity. Specifically, he notes that Clarity set to anything other than 0 causes a short “Storing” pause. His recommendation is to keep it at 0 so as to avoid the delay. When Fujifilm debuted Clarity on […]

I just moved into a new house. My office is full of unopened boxes with vague labels like Office and Books. I did manage to get the computer unpacked last night, so hopefully I can keep up with Fuji X Weekly while also unpacking the office and the rest of the house, too. Thankfully we’re […]

I get asked fairly regularly which Fujifilm Recipes are the most popular. For me, this is a fascinating topic, but it’s definitely hard to know definitively. While I get a glimpse on social media, my best gauge is the Fuji X Weekly website statistics; specifically, which Recipe articles are viewed the most. I don’t collect any data on […]

Fujirumors posted a poll asking which future sixth-generation camera would excite you the most. As I looked at the list, I had to ask myself: what would make me buy that camera? For example, I have an X-T5 that I’m very happy with, what feature upgrade would make me buy an X-T6? I did that […]

I was a little shocked when I read that Kodak is rebranding two iconic film lines. Portra is being renamed Ektacolor Pro and T-Max is being renamed Ektapan. Portra (in particular) isn’t just a brandname, it’s a look that everyone knows (or at least thinks they know). When you see Portra, you know it’s Portra. […]

I have an upcoming project that requires the invention of a new Fujifilm Recipe. I’ll have more details on all that later, but the thing to know now is that I created a few different options, but there could only be one winner. This Avalon Ace Recipe is not the winner, it’s the runner up. […]

I was flipping through the pages of a photo album that my grandma had put together a long time ago, when I saw something interesting. Most of the pictures in this book were captured before I was born, and some when I was very young. I came across a group of color prints that all […]

In my Fujifilm said What?! article, I stated that the number one thing Fujifilm could do to quiet the autofocus critics is to make the AF settings more intuitive, and have it programmed to work well for most straight-out-of-the-box. Fujifilm offers a lot of customization to maximize autofocus performance for each person’s specific use-case and […]

I remember a long time ago heading out with my old Canon AE-1 loaded with a roll of 35mm film. If I had planned ahead, I might have had a second or third roll in my pocket or camera bag. You were limited by the film you had loaded into the camera, and maybe the […]

PetaPixel published a couple of articles recently detailing an interview with Fujifilm at CP+. Phototrend also interviewed Fujifilm at this event, which resulted in some interesting answers. PetaPixel’s conversation was much different, so let’s talk about what was said and what it means. For one article, PetaPixel asked, “How will Fujifilm fix its video autofocus […]
