I was actually excited about this lens when I first heard about it. I was interested to see if it’s better than the 35mm f1.4, because that lens – although it’s a “pre-historic” lens in terms of the Fujifilm X series timeline, since it’s one of the first lenses to be released, is in fact my favorite lens. I only had one week to try it out, so I don’t have a one-on-one shoot-out, but I’ll definitely do that soon. […]
When I first heard about the Fujifilm 1.4x teleconverter, I had questions about the compatibility and I wondered why it could not be used with any other Fuji lens. I was even hoping I could use this teleconverter with my 56mm f1.2 and make it a 120mm full frame equivalent. Or, better yet, can I use it with the 55-200 lens? Well, all those questions have been answered as soon as Fujifilm Middle East handed me the XF 1.4X TC WR Teleconverter. […]
Fujifilm Middle East here in Dubai, provided me a pre-production copy of their latest prime, the Fujinon XF 16mm f1.4 R WR lens.

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 […]
Yesterday, I received a SAMPLE unit of the Fujifilm X-T1 + VG-XT1 Battery Grip from Fujifilm Middle East. This is probably the most anticipated camera in the mirrorless world. Ever since the rumors and leaked photos came out, it created quite a buzz in the photography communities around the world. Feature Highlights: 16.3 MP X-Trans CMOS II sensor + EXR II Processor 0.77x EVF magnifcation (Largest in its class) with 54 fps refresh rate First camera to support the UHS-II […]
This lens has been pretty much the missing link from the entire X-Series lens line up. Fujifilm Middle East is kind enough to send me one unit for testing. Yay!! The 56mm f1.2 which is 85mm equivalent on full frame cameras is the classic “Portrait lens” focal length. The build quality is on par with the rest of the XF X-Series lens and other world class lenses from Zeiss and Canon L series lenses. I will be posting my initial […]
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. Also, the design is just simply drop dead gorgeous. While others doesn’t mind the looks of a camera, well… I do!
