We recently shared this video on our Instagram, but I thought it was also worth sharing here because I have never seen anything like it before. It is a strobe that you can mount on your back and tell where to point by using a small knob next to your shutter finger.

Rumored way back in summer 2019, Fujifilm X100V is finally out. It’s the fifth-generation of the X100 series, and just like its predecessors, it’s a fixed lens camera.
