Avoid the Fuji X-H1
I guess in addition to the twenty-odd missed opportunities and glitches I already reported on in an earlier post, it would seem that Fuji’s X-T2 on steroids has seriously erratic autofocus issues as well as some very impressive moire artifacts. The next firmware update should be a doozy. I wouldn’t hold my breath though, since… Read More
Does the Veydra Fuji X-Mount Even Exist?
I’ve always thought the Fuji X-T2 would be a great narrative filmmaking camera, but it’s taken a back seat to my Panasonics for the past year. As it happens, I’m planning to begin work on a documentary next month and it occurred to me that this would be a great opportunity to try out my… Read More

Is Fuji Still Relevant?
Ever since Fuji added 4K to the X-Pro2 with firmware update v.4, there’s been a lot of hype about the video capabilities of the camera. But does extra resolution alone a video camera make? For one thing, unlike the more capable X-T2, in-camera sharpening and highlights/shadows cannot be adjusted while shooting UHD on the X-Pro2.… Read More
Fuji AF Lenses: Manually Focusing with Fly-By-Wire
A reader over at EOSHD asked what it was like manually focusing with the Fuji AF lenses, so I went ahead and did a quick, highly unscientific test of the five lenses in my possession.
