I have been reading posts for a few years related to fujifilm cameras and lenses on the Fuji X Forum. (http://www.fujix-forum.com/). I have also been checking into news and rumours on the Fuji Rumors website for a number of years. Now another forum has been started by Fuji Rumors with almost the identical name as the existing forum. Why wasn't this one called the " Fuji Rumors Forum"?

Yes, another name may be less confusing. Perhaps that is intentional. Don't know. I personally do not care. I like how they are running this site, much better than the other one.  I can definitely tell the difference.

For example, the admins and moderators here appear to be responsive, professional, and most importantly for me do not mix their own personal opinions with their moderation duties.  Things get weird otherwise and personal bias tends to affect moderation. I hope this continues and moderators treat the forums as pure observers that keep the peace and respond to the needs of the forum members.  

 

Anyhow, it appears that this forum site is not just about Fuji related rumors.  So I don't think your suggested name would have worked.   The scope is much broader than that.

Perhaps that is intentional.

I am positive that it is. As the admin said: “This new Fuji X Forum is the right place to discuss everything about the Fuji X System and other cameras like the Fuji X100 / X100T / X100s.” Rumours are a part of ‘everything’ but this isn’t just a rumour forum. And by the way, this is the sister forum of the German language ‘Fuji X Forum’ (which originally was a X100-centered forum, hence its domain name fuji-x100-forum.de).

I too was confused at first. Especially because the mechanics of the page layouts and overall operation of the forum seems to mirror the other forum with the same name. Although after just visiting that site I noticed that they changed their header name to the 'Original'.

 

Both have good stuff, so no problems there. But still a bit strange that they are so similar.

      Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      Troubleshooting with flash on xpro3

      By Doudzi · Posted

      Hi everyone I have a problem while using my xpro3 and strobes, from a day to an other I started to have a black shade on the side of my ID photos so it's kind of problematic. It's like if the speed is to high except it happened even at 1/30s. And the shutter speed seems accurate with ambiant light so I'm a bit disturbed about all of this.   Anyone has an idea about that case ?

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.
