Asbury Park New Jersey With The Fuji X-Pro2

Asbury Park New Jersey With The Fuji X-Pro2:

As some of you know, I’ve been shooting with the Fuji X-Pro2, and for the most part, it’s been great.  I’m almost done with it, and I’ll be posting my review up soon but I thought I’d share some photos from my recent excursion.  I feel like I’ve hit a road block recently; I love New York, and I’ve lived here all my life but I feel like I’m taking the same old pictures.  I feel like I need to see something new.  I think every photographer feels this way once in a while.  Sometimes a person needs new inspiration so yesterday, I decided to drive down to Asbury Park in New Jersey.

Domke F-803 Camera Satchel Bag Review

Domke F-803 Camera Satchel Bag Review:

Most of the bags I’ve reviewed on this site have been made by Billingham.  I can’t help it, I’m a big fan; I use a lot of the bags myself because they simply last forever.  But as we know, Billingham isn’t the only manufacturer that makes good bags, so I thought this time, I would review an old classic, the Domke F-803.  Like many of the Billingham bags, the F-803 has been around for ages, and since not much of it has changed over the years, is the F-803 still relevant considering how much in photography and photographic gear actually has changed?  I was definitely curious, and here is what I concluded from my time with this bag.

Trying Out The Fuji X-Pro2 Downtown Manhattan

Trying Out The Fuji X-Pro2 Downtown Manhattan:

It’s been a busy week, so that’s the reason why I haven’t posted much.  I thought I’d put up some photos I took today (actually since it’s already so late, I guess it was yesterday) with the Fuji X-Pro2.  The X-Pro2 is the next camera that I am reviewing, and so far, it’s been pretty awesome to say the least.  I know, not much of a surprise to hear considering I’m a fan of the system ;).  Seriously though, the file quality is excellent.  Files are crisp and vivid.  I am really liking what I’m seeing.  As of now, I am holding out for the X-T2 but I’m getting more and more tempted to trade in my X-T1 for it.

Fuji XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS Lens Review

Fuji XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS Lens Review:

Over the years, I’ve grown to enjoy the use of ultra wide angle lenses so much so that I often use my 18mm as an everyday lens.  I like the way ultra wides perceive the world.  Plus, there’s just so much going on all the time in New York City (often in cramped spaces) that a wide angle can be considered mandatory at times.  There are quite a few options if you want an ultra wide for the Fuji X Series, and one of these options is the XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS lens (B&H Photo/Amazon).  In 35mm terms, this lens equates to a whopping 15 to 35mm equivalent.  This is an older lens but seeing as the Fuji X-Pro2 is being released, I thought it would be a great time to review it.

$100 Off Fuji X-Pro2 and XF 35mm F2 Kit at B&H Photo:

Thinking about the X-Pro2 and the XF 35mm F2?  Here’s a great deal: for those who are interested, you can purchase the Fuji X-Pro2 with the XF 35mm F2 Kit for $100 off at B&H Photo.  As most of you know, the X-Pro2 is Fuji’s latest and greatest.  It has the works: hybrid viewfinder, weather sealing, and the new 24 megapixel X-Trans CMOS III sensor just to name a few.  As for the XF 35mm F2, it is one of the best X Series lenses to date.  It’s compact size, weather sealing, and quiet and fast autofocus make it a perfect match for the X-Pro2.  Check out my review of it.  I also did a comparison test between the XF 35mm F2 and the XF 35mm F1.4.

For those not interested in the kit, the X-Pro2 and the XF 35mm F2 can be ordered separately, of course.
