Always have your camera with you

I was invited to a wedding in Hamburg as a guest. I took my X-T1 with me, because you don´t know what life will offer to you. The place of celebration after the marriage took place at a tall building near the harbor and St. Pauli. I had the chance to take photos from the rooftop of this place. The light was golden (near sunset) and we had a rainbow over the city (what a great coincidence for a wedding-celebration).




So I did a quick handheld panorama and some shots of the rainbow and the Michel (church). I also took some shots of the wedding ceremony (I can´t show all the photos without permission) and my trusty Fuji did a great job.




So don´t forget. Always have your camera with you!

Why should you buy the new X-PRO2?

Image
I wrote some articles about the X-PRO1/2 in the past. I mentioned there that you don´t need to upgrade your camera if you're happy with it. Maybe you spend the money on travel, prints or some more lenses. If you are starting from the scratch or need a faster and better camera I will tell you why this camera is perfect for you: the rangefinder style - if you shooting street or reportage etc. it is great to use a camera that won't cover your whole face to maintain eye contact with your subject (this is not the case with the X-T1) faster auto focus even in near dark environments - I often missed a shot because of this with my X100s, X-PRO1 (but you can also use an X-T1) weather sealing - in conjunction with a water proof lens you can now do some shots without fearing a malfunction inside your precious camera more responsive - the faster cpu will make this camera more like an analog one where everything happens when you press a button without too many lagging ISO dial -

Final thoughts on the X100F and the XPRO2 after using them for a longer time

Image
After selling my X-T1 and X100S I bought the XPRO2 and the X100F to work with them in different situations. I love the form factor and the OVF of the XPRO2 and the size and the silent operation of the X100F. With this lineup I can choose the right cam for nearly every situation (I am not a sports photographer). This can happen when you go for a nice reflection-shot (35mm f1.4/XPRO2) How are my feelings after using the XPRO2 for one year and the X100F for three months now? I know that there is no tool in this world that will serve all your needs without a little drop of bitterness. Perfection is a lie and I don't expect a camera (and anything else in life) to be perfect. So I try to be fair and only write about things without falling into that ranting scheme that is all around the web. XPRO2 I love the size and the possibility to use the OVF that allows me to see what is coming into frame. I can also use the 18mm with zone focusing to concentrate on the decisive moment

the X100F - first look

Image
Yesterday I got rid of my XT1 and my trusty old X100S in Exchange for a X100F (by adding some extra cash). After a little set-up in the shop the camera was instantly ready to use. When you're a Fuji user this little tool has no real learning curve for you. After leaving the shop I took some photos to test the camera. This is not an in depth review, I will write about my real life experience with this model in the coming days. If you want to know something then just ask me below in the comments or via twitter. Same same, but different I don't need to write about the build quality or the integrated lens because there is no real difference to the predecessors of this model, but the placement of the buttons has changed. In case of the Q-button it was a little misplacement for my taste. It is placed at an area where I rest usually rest the thumb of my right hand. You can lock this button by holding down the menu button for a few seconds so this is not a real problem but
