Two other interesting Fuji stories (in case you missed my tweet from three days ago) – the company is “conducting research and testing” on medium format sensors, but for now there are no plans for a medium format digital camera:
→ Canon EOS M10 mirrorless camera tested at DxOMark
→ Lensbaby Edge 50 Optic lens launched as a separate item, available for pre-order.
→ Many brands are increasing their prices in Canada as a result of the week Canadian dollar (the Canadian dollar has fallen 15% in the last six months). I was told that Tamron is the next company to announce a price increase in Canada.
