Gear I’m Bringing to Walt Disney World:
I’ll be flying to Walt Disney World this morning but you will see a couple of new things here while I am away. Of course, I am always bringing some gear with me, since I love taking pictures and I love adding to this site. At first, I thought I would travel light and just bring my new solid gray D-Lux Typ 109. It’s been literally sitting in my bag for the past week (although I did use it a little yesterday) because I’ve been really busy. However, I will also bring something I’ve been planning to review, the Fuji X-T10. Being that it is Disney, I really didn’t want to bring much of anything but the X-T10 is so compact and light, I think I can make an exception.
As for lens, I’m going with just the XF 27mm F2.8 and nothing else. I am going ultra light, and since the XF 27mm is basically a 40mm equivalent lens, it fits nicely in between a 35mm and a 50mm. So, it should cover almost all my needs at Disney. Plus, it should be awesome shooting with the X-T10 and just this lens, since both are so compact. I wanted to take the Rokinon 8mm fisheye II that I recently reviewed because I think it would be amazing to use in Disney but I didn’t have it for that long. I won’t be able to post much during my trip but as I mentioned earlier, I have created content that will automatically post during the time that I am away. So, definitely stop by, and feel free to post comments or send me emails. I will be able to answer them.
I will post reviews for the X-T10, the XF 27mm, and the X30 I had a week ago when I get back. The Leica D-Lux review will come later but for Leica fans, I will have an M lens review coming soon. It is actually one of my favorite M lenses. Thanks for stopping by!
Tamrac 5689 Pro Compact Digital Bag Review:
Sometimes when I go on vacation with my family or friends, I just don’t want to carry too much gear even though the photographer in me wants the best image quality possible. That’s where high end compact point and shoot cameras come into play because you get essentially an all in one system that’s relatively pocket size without sacrificing too much in the image quality department. The tech that we have in these types of cameras nowadays are pretty impressive; you can take some decent quality photos with cameras like the Fuji X30, the Sony RX100 or the Leica D-Lux Typ 109 just to name a few. While they are technically pocket size, sometimes it’s just more comfortable to carry them in some sort of case or pouch. One great option is the Tamrac 5689 Pro Compact Digital Bag.

Rokinon 8mm F2.8 UMC Fisheye II For Fuji X Review:
I love wide angles, so anytime I get a chance to try one out, I go for it. I reviewed the first version of the Rokinon 8mm F2.8 UMC Fisheye a while ago (review here), and thought it was one of the best lenses ever made for the Fuji X Series. Ever since then, it’s one of those lenses where I’ve always wish I had purchased one. It was very reasonably priced, had decent image quality, and it offered such a unique perspective. It was also downright fun to use. Well, now they have a new version, the Rokinon 8mm F2.8 UMC Fisheye II, and I was able to get a copy for a short while. This isn’t really one of my full blown reviews, since I already reviewed the first one and I didn’t have the lens for so long, so consider this a shorter review instead. [continue reading…]
Fuji X30 Compact Point and Shoot First Impressions:
First off, Happy New Year, everyone! I figured a great way to start the new year on my site is to talk about something I’ve always wanted review, the Fuji X30. Plus, a lot of you are probably going on vacation with your families, and a high end point and shoot is always a great option to bring along. You can still get great image quality, and best of all, enjoy your vacation because you won’t have to drag around so much gear. [continue reading…]

Artisan & Artist ACAM 7100 Camera Bag Review:
Finding a decent, comfortable camera bag to use daily that fits everything I want in my own little way without dragging me down all day is not always something that is easy to find. I’m sure that I’m not the only one that feels this way. I am a minimalist when it comes to carrying camera gear, and for a while now, I’ve wanted something that is a bit lighter, and slimmer but not to the point where it becomes useless for my needs. I still want something that can fit two or three lenses when I need it to but also feel just as comfortable if I only had one lens and camera body. I definitely want something with decent padding as well. This is how I found my way to the Artisan & Artist ACAM 7100 (B&H Photo/Amazon) or as some call it, Oskar’s One Day Bag. [continue reading…]
