WELCOME
CONTENTS WELCOME To Pixel Magazine Fujifilm Edition
Welcome to the Fujifilm edition of Pixel Magazine for 2016. Working with the editorial team at Pixel, we are proud to be collaborating to produce this, a comprehensive overview of products and activities coming form Fujifilm; one of the most recognisable photographic brands in the world. It has been an exciting few months for us all at Fujifilm, announcing, as we did six months ago, the X-Pro 2 camera from our digital division. This feeling has only been perpetuated by the arrival of the new X-T2, our joint flagship model in the Fujifilm range. Read all about it through pages 4-7. On top of this, we have hugely exciting news coming from our photofinishing division. Peter Wigington and his team have announced a substantial and fresh incentive to take the word of printing our photography to the streets. The tour will take in seven events through the summer months of 2016 and you can read all about it through the pages of this edition. Along with all of this news, you can also catch up with many other goings on within Fujifilm, here in our very special takeover edition of Pixel Magazine. Simon Skinner, Editor, Pixel Magazine Theo Georghiades, General Manager, Fujifilm UK
