New Fuji Rebates: Save up to $400 on Cameras and Lenses:

Good news for Fuji fans.  There are fantastic rebates on many different Fuji lenses, bodies, and combinations with savings up to $400. The rebates go on until July 2nd.  If you want more info, check out these dedicated Fuji rebate pages:

B&H Photo Fuji Rebate page

Amazon Fuji Rebate page

Adorama Fuji Rebate page

If you’ve been waiting for something from Fuji, this might be a great time to go for it because there are a lot of decent rebates.  For instance, here are some that I’ve been thinking of getting myself :):

Fujifilm XF 16mm F1.4 R WR Lens $999 ($300 off) = $699 B&H Photo/Amazon/Adorama

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm F/1.4R Lens $899 ($200 off) = $699 B&H Photo/Amazon/Adorama

Fujifilm XF 35mm F/2 R WR Lens, Black $399 ($100 off) = $299 B&H Photo/Amazon/Adorama

This lens I’ve been dying for in particular!:

Fujifilm XF 90mm F/2 R LM WR Lens $949 ($200) = $749 B&H Photo/Amazon/Adorama

This is just a taste of the Fuji rebates that are currently going on.  By the way, for those waiting for the Fuji XF 2x TC WR Teleconverter, you can pre-order it at B&H Photo already.

Fuji XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens Quick Look:

Hey everyone!  After reviewing gear from the micro four thirds world, I thought it would be great to jump back into some Fuji gear, which leads me to what I have to show you today.  I recently received the XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens for review purposes, and I also asked to borrow the XF 1.4x TC WR Teleconverter as well.  Now, a lens like this is definitely something I don’t normally shoot with, since the longest focal length that I currently own is an 85mm equivalent.  I live in New York City, so I’m most comfortable with normal to wide angle lenses.  With the 1.4x teleconverter, the XF 100-400mm equates to a 213-853mm equivalent!  I also like to keep things light and compact, which the XF 100-400mm is not; the shipping box was huge, the lens itself weighs 3 pounds, and it looks massive on my X-T1.

$755 Off Leica 75mm Summarit-M f2.5 and 12% Savings:

I’ve been busy writing up a review all day but this is a great deal that I felt I had to post up.  If any of you are interested in purchasing the Leica 75mm Summarit-M f2.5, there is an instant savings of $755 at B&H Photo until April 30th.  The link is below:

$755 off 75mm Summarit-M f2.5 at B&H Photo

This is the older model as the new one is the current f2.4 version.  Still, it is a fantastic lens, especially for $1,195!  It’s very easy to focus, compact, and it is insanely sharp!  This is such a great deal that it’s making me question whether or not I should buy one right now.  Of course, Leica is also having their current 12% instant rebate on 29 lenses, so if you’re looking for something else, this is a great time to buy it.  The link to that page is here:

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Olympus Pen-F and Various Other Gear Up Soon:

I’m working on my Fuji X-Pro2 review now, and it should be out soon.  It’s such a wonderful camera and there’s just so much to say about it.  Of course, nothing is perfect, so there are some issues but overall, now that I’ve returned it, I really miss it.  Anyway, I just got a knock on the door from my local UPS delivery woman, and I got some REALLY cool stuff that I thought I’d share with all of you real quick.  For one, I just received the new Olympus Pen-F in the mail, and while I’ve done a couple of Fuji vs. Olympus comparisons, this will be my first Olympus product that I review.  I’m really excited about this.  As I mentioned in the past few months, I have plans of expanding this site and including various other manufacturers’ products, and I think the Pen-F is a perfect way to start.  It also doesn’t hurt that the Pen-F feels and looks awesome!
