Introducing the Fuji X Weekly + WEX Photo Video Fujifilm X-T50 Collaborative Bundle

Last year, WEX Photo Video asked if I’d be interested in assembling a Fujifilm-related camera bundle. It could be anything that I wanted, just as long as the products made sense together. I decided on a first-time-Fujifilm type of kit. If you are in the market for your very first Fujifilm camera, this bundle would serve as an excellent all-in-one starting point.

The camera I chose for this bundle is the Fujifilm X-T50. It’s simple and fun enough for beginners, yet sophisticated and capable enough for advanced users—in other words, the camera will keep up with you as you grow. No matter where you are on your photographic journey—from brand-new hobbyist to experienced pro—the Fujifilm X-T50 is an excellent camera, so it’s easy to recommend. The silver version is my favorite, so that’s what I chose for the bundle.

“Fuji X Weekly is an amazing resource for photography enthusiasts, especially those diving into the world of Fujifilm. Created by Ritchie Roesch, Fuji X Weekly has become the go-to for Fujifilm photographers looking to explore their camera’s potential. Known for its collection of Film Simulation Recipes, Fuji X Weekly empowers users to recreate the iconic looks of classic film stocks directly in their cameras without the need for post-processing. This bundle celebrates the creativity that Fuji X Weekly represents and is picked by Ritchie to offer you a perfect starting point to explore the Fujifilm system and capture stunning images with ease.”

What’s a camera without a lens? The Fujinon 35mm f/2 is one of my favorites. It’s small, lightweight, optically excellent, and affordable. I’ve owned this lens for a long time, and still use it regularly. On X-series cameras, because of the APS-C crop factor, it’s a “nifty-fifty” standard prime, something every photographer should have, and the perfect lens for learning composition. The silver version of the Fujinon 35mm f/2 looks strikingly good on the silver X-T50.

To complete the kit, included is a spare NP-W126S battery, SanDisk Extreme 256GB SD Card, and SmallRig Leather Half Case. A memory card is essential to get started, and this SanDisk is one that I personally have in a few of my cameras. The extra battery isn’t essential, but very nice to have—especially for traveling—so I wanted it included. The SmallRig Half Case adds a little style and extra protection.

Altogether, these five items—silver Fujifilm X-T50 camera, silver Fujinon 23mm f/2 lens, spare battery, 256GB SD Card, and leather half case—is an excellent kit for someone just getting started with Fujifilm. With this bundle, you’re good to go—there’s nothing else you need to buy to begin your photographic journey.

This Fuji X Weekly + Wex Photo Video collaborative bundle is not available anywhere else. Fujifilm doesn’t offer the X-T50 and 35mm f/2 as a kit (they should!). The only place you can get these bundled together is at Wex. Right now, this kit is only £1,661.90 (about $2,100 USD). The MSRP for these five items, if purchased separately, is £1,841.90; however, because the X-T50 and 35mm lens are currently on sale, the price is £180 less. There’s no extra discount for purchasing these items together; this is meant to simplify the purchasing process for someone in the market for their first Fujifilm camera.

Introducing the Evergreen + Fuji X Weekly Protective Case for Fujifilm X100VI / X100V / X100F

Posted on October 1, 2024 by Ritchie Roesch

I’m very proud to introduce the Evergreen + Fuji X Weekly Protective Case for Fujifilm X100 series cameras! It’s available in both clear and black for $50.00 USD.

This new camera case is dust-proof, watertight, and shock-resistant. It is intended for the outdoor adventurer who needs to keep their camera safe while backpacking or camping or exploring or other similar activites. If you’re the outdoors type who takes a camera along on your adventures, but are concerned about keeping your gear safe, this case is for you.

The Evergreen + Fuji X Weekly Protective Case is specifically designed for the X100VI, X100V, and X100F cameras. It will also fit older X100-series models. While not specifically intended for it, my Fujifilm X70 with a leather half-case fits well. My Fujifilm X-E4 with the Fujinon 27mm f/2.8 pancake will also work, but only without the lens cap. I found that a Fujifilm X-M1 with a 7Artisans 18mm f/6.3 pancake lens fits. Optimally, this case is for the latest X100-series models, so if you have an X100VI, X100V, or X100F, the Evergreen + Fuji X Weekly Protective Case will keep your camera safe as you explore.

Within the case there is space for one spare battery and one SD-Card. There’s also one slot on each side for filters. I fit both a 49mm Moment CineBloom filter and 49mm Fotasy Ultra Slim UV filter in one slot; in the other I put a Hoagle filter adapter. I can also fit a Hoagle Ultra Thin Lens Hood into the case, but not in the filter slots. It’s important to note that most lens hoods will not fit, nor will the wide or tele conversion lenses. You will most likely find that your camera strap is too big and won’t fit (it all depends on what you have); however, one strategy could be to use a quick-release strap from Peak Design and keep the strap elsewhere. Personally, I use a wrist strap, which does fit into the case.

This Evergreen + Fuji X Weekly Protective Case was a collaborative endeavor. I providing design ideas and input, and then feedback after testing various concepts. It was a team effort, so I can only take a small amount of credit. The folks at Evergreen Cases are truly professional, and they did the heavy lifting. I’m thrilled that they invited me to be a part of it, and have a hand in the design. Also, we co-created a Portra-inspired Film Simulation Recipe, called Fuji X EG400, which is included in each case.
