Field Test: Fuji XF 50-140mm f/2.8

AsĀ usual, all shots were taken around Book Street in District 1, Saigon. The build quality of this monster is on par with Zeiss. The focus, zoom and aperture rings are dampened to high hell, which I happen to love. Autofocus is fast and completely, utterly silent. The 16-55mm f/2.8 amazed me, the 35mm f/2 astounded… Read More

Field Test: Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2 WR

I’ll make this one brief. The Fuji 35mm f/2 is a must-have lens. It is compact, beautifully designed, and the optics are superb for such a small instrument. Free background music from JewelBeat.com

Review: Fuji X-T2

After my rant last night about the lack of meaningful exposure aids on the Fuji X-T2, I’ve settled down a little, and had my first opportunity to actually go out and grab a few clips with it, along with the Fujinon 16-55mm f/2.8 lens. It’s been drizzling all day, so I couldn’t do much shooting.… Read More

Fuji X-T2: Creative Perfection?

I just picked up the Fuji X-T2 and a 16-55mm f/2.8 lens yesterday afternoon and, while setting up the camera, I happened to notice that in movie mode, there are virtually no exposure aids: no histogram, no waveform monitor, no zebras, just an impossibly tiny EV meter. I thought I must be mistaken, since I’d… Read More
