The most important camera...

...is the one you left at home ;-)

But when you have your cam always with you, you won´t miss a great sunset in the morning like this:

I did some retouching in lightroom to make this photo look like I saw it with my own eyes. So don´t forget to have your camera with you most of the time.

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 -...

Yesterday I sold my Ricoh GR III and traded it for a X100F

Image
Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion and the camera might work for you. This is not a Fuji is better than everything post :-) I've tried to love the Ricoh and have a little list with pros and cons: The good Size - If you need an APS-C sensor pocket camera, this is the one! The lens is superb and walks back into the body making it a super duper small camera! Image quality - the files have a great range and a neutral color reproduction. Nothing to complain. Craftmanship - the camera body is sturdy. Even the moving lens works flawless. The bad Menu - the menu system is not as easy as I know it from my Fuji gear. There are some nice ideas like the custom settings that can be tied to the mode-wheel, but overall I was not satisfied. Shutter button - a soft mess for me. It failed for me when it comes to a half press lock many times. It doesn't feel right for me. Display - in bright sunlight you are lost. I've also missed the possibility to review a photo through the EVF in brig...

GF 100-200mm 5.6 WR - half a month later

Image
I recently drove to Fehmarn an island in north Germany at the baltic sea to take some photos and enjoy nature together with a friend. I took my new 100-200m with me. I've ended up with a square photo challenge (the 50r is perfect for this kind of photos). The lens worked like designed. It is still a heavy bulky lens but on the other side there is no tube sticking out of the design and it is weather resistant. For me it is the perfect zoom like my XF 100-200mm I owned before. The OIS works flawless and bear in mind that even on larger sensor it is still a 200mm telephoto lens. You just get a wider portion of the image. In the near future I will invest some money into the teleconverter to get some extra focal length for more compression.
