THE HALFWAY POINT.

Where did the time go? Month 6 of 12 of 2025 is (somehow) already underway, but all we’re focusing on is Stranger Things and GTA VI. Honestly, time can’t move fast enough.

Today’s issue is packed with value, literally. We’re thrilled to offer Mosaic readers an exclusive 20% off discount on all Gamut products, including their brand-new BaseLUTs 2.0. This offer only lasts one week, so much like the astronaut above; run, don’t walk.

If you’re already stocked up on LUTs, no worries; we’ve got videos on the new (and weird?) Sony FX2 and Ricoh GRIV for you to dig into. Plus, an article on this beautiful, all-American t-shirt, an x-ray pouch for film that can’t stay in stock, and a stunning new photo book about the American West.

As always; thanks for being here. Dive in, get lost, and enjoy.

PULSE CHECK

Pulse Check is our way of keeping a finger on the heartbeat of the creative industry. Everything from breaking news to announcements, or just videos that might have slipped under the radar, this curated list will keep you in the know.

• Gamut’s new BaseLUTs 2.0 are here — take 20% off the whole site with an exclusive “MOSAIC20” coupon at checkout.

• Fujifilm dropped their new “X-half” camera — with a price tag that seems double what it should be.

• The new YASHICA FX-D is live on Kickstarter — is this the ultimate “film” digital camera?

• The Sony FX2 has set the internet on fire, and Armando Ferreira put Sony’s Product Manager in the hot seat.

• Ricoh confirmed the development of a GRIV, the much anticipated successor to everyone’s favorite pocket camera.

OFF-SCRIPT

Every now and then, it feels good to get lost down a few rabbit holes. Off-Script is our catch-all for exactly that; a random assortment of objects, products, music, books, tools, and inspiration we’re finding in our day-to-day.

• Photographer Sissi Lu’s new “X-Ray” film pouch is selling out everywhere.

• Brian Chorski’s new photobook is a stunning exploration of the American West.

• Imogene + Willie released a true Made-in-USA t-shirt — from seed to sale.

• Do we need these color-blocked scissors? No. Do we want them? Absolutely yes.

I GUESS THIS IS…*

*Goodbye, but actually kind of for real this time. We’ve got some exciting product launches coming up this summer, so you might hear from us a little less frequently. But rest assured, we’re cooking away behind the scenes, and we’ll keep you updated when the time is right.
