In the last years, Fujifilm often won quite some of awards at the TIPA awards.
- 2017: Fujifilm wins 5 awards
- 2016: Fujifilm wins 3 awards
- 2015: Fujifilm wins 3 awards
- 2014: Fujifilm wins 2 awards
- 2013: Fujfiilm wins 3 awards
Well, this year is the worst for Fujifilm, since the “X-series era“. They won 1 award only, and it goes to the Instax Square SQ10 for the “Best Design“.
So the Fujfiilm X-H1 and Fujifilm X-E3 were not good enought to make it into the TIPA ranking. Let’s hope the upcoming Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm GFX 50R will change it next year.
I am surprised, though, that not even one of the astonishing Fujinon lenses has made it into the list. For example, while the winner of the best mirrorless prime lens, the Samyang AF 35mm F2.8 FE, is surely a fine lens, I can’t see it being superior to the equivalent Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8.
So despite TIPA creating overall 40 categories, there is not much love for Fujifilm this year.
