This is a follow up review on my usage for Fujinon XF16mm. You can read the Part 1 here. I have been using it for more than a month now and I have to admit, I have been using it more than I thought I would. One of the best feature of the lens is the minimum focus distance, as per specifications 16cm, which is measured from the sensor. So that means, you can focus on on object as close […]

So, Fujifilm Middle East here in Dubai sent me a pre-production unit of X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition and I have playing with it for more than a week now. What’s the difference between the older X-T1? Is it better? So let’s get started… Looks and other physical differences The main difference with this camera is the color, in Fujfilm film terms, it is graphite silver. To me it looks a bit like that gun metal finish which is very popular in […]
This is Fuji’s first weather sealed lens. It is not the fast lens by any means, widest at f 3.5 up to f 5.6; but the focal length makes it a great travel lens. This 7.5x super-zoom lens is equivalent to 27-206mm on a full-frame camera (35mm) it also comes with Optical Image Stabilization. Build Quality If you are familiar with the 18-55mm lens or any Fujinon XF lenses you will have the same feel right at home with […]
Since the beginning of my journey in photography I have always been interested in Ultra Wide Angle (UWA) lenses and I have used different ones, Canon 10-22mm, Sigma 10-20mm, Sigma 8-16mm, Tokina 11-16mm and Canon 16-35mm. If you look at most of my work, you will hardly see any tightly composed shots except for some portraiture work. I always like wide and sweeping view. I think, it’s more of a personal preference and also depends on what you shoot. […]

Here is a video of the menu structure of the X-T1, it shows the new menu structure including advance settings, time lapse, movie settings and other settings on the menu.

I’ve had the X-E2 for about two days now (as of this writing) – Fujifilm Middle East gave me a pre-production unit and asked me if I want to try it out and see how it performs; Well, being a photographer, there’s nothing better than trying out new gear 🙂 Hardware Changes Like a kid getting a new toy, first things first… Fiddling time. Being a gadget geek, I checked all the hardware changes side by side with the […]
There you go… X100s chillin’ in my bag 🙂 I am currently reviewing the new Fujifilm X100s. I really love Fuji cameras and always a fan of its JPEG files.
