Fuji X-T2 Review: Redefining the X-T Series of Cameras:
I’ve owned and reviewed almost every X Series camera, and pound for pound, at least for me, I felt the X-T1 was the best out of the bunch. Many must have felt the same way because it was a huge hit for Fuji. To top it off, the X-T1 only improved with time thanks to the numerous, and useful firmware updates by Fuji. Even to this day, it’s still a camera to be reckoned with in my opinion. I did review the X-Pro2 when it was first released, and at the time, I assumed a lot of the tech from that camera was going to find its way into the new X-T2. The funny thing is, even with all the new tech, I wasn’t as excited as I thought I would be when the X-T2 was officially announced. That’s because the X-T1 had pretty much everything that I was looking for in a mirrorless camera. I was even okay with the 16 MP sensor vs. the X-Pro2’s 24 MP. I was really happy with the camera, and I couldn’t imagine Fuji improving it that much more where I would notice significant differences, especially since the X-T2 is a few hundred dollars more than its predecessor. Well, I’ve been using the X-T2 since its release date, and I have to say, I am mighty impressed. [continue reading…]

Fuji X-T2 12,800 High ISO Example:
Right now, I’m reviewing all my Fuji X-T2 photos to see which ones I am using for my review (which I’m writing right now), and I just wanted to post a quick example of a photo taken at 12,800 ISO with the XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 R LM OIS lens. I know there are cameras out there that are designed specifically for shooting at high ISO but with that said, I personally think this is pretty impressive. The noise is really well controlled, and color desaturation is kept at a minimum. This is a raw file but I didn’t have much time to do much work to it. Even without that much work, I think it’s perfectly useable. I am extremely happy with results like this. [continue reading…]

Fuji X-T2 First Impressions and Images!:
So, I’ve had the Fuji X-T2 since it was released last week, and I’m still super excited about it. I’ve waited a long time for the X-T2, and it wasn’t an easy wait considering how much I enjoyed my time with the X-Pro2 when I was reviewing it. The significant improvements found in the X-Pro2 made the camera so much more user friendly than its predecessor that I was so tempted to buy one. But I pretty much went through every single X Series camera starting with the X100, and discovered over time that the X-T body fits me best. I love the shape, the dials, and the awesome EVF. So, I decided to wait (rather impatiently), and I’m glad I did because the X-T2 has proven to be better than I ever expected! [continue reading…]
Fuji MCEX-11 And MCEX-16 Extension Tubes Review:
Extension tubes can be great tools for those who are looking for a cheaper alternative when doing close up or macro work. They are also great for people who just want to experiment with macro photography but are not necessarily ready to invest a lot of money into a macro lens. While there are some aftermarket extension tubes out there for the X Series system, Fuji themselves have also decided to make their own: the MCEX-11 and MCEX-16. They’ve been out for a while but I haven’t had the chance to give them a try until now, so here is my short review of them. [continue reading…]
Fuji XF 1.4x TC WR Teleconverter Review:
As of now, the lens with the longest range in the Fuji X Series is the XF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6. If you want something longer that is made by Fuji, you’ll either have to wait until they release something new or purchase the XF 1.4x TC WR Teleconverter. The XF 100-400mm is equivalent to a 152mm-609mm in 35mm terms but with the 1.4x teleconverter, you can extend that range to a crazy 213mm-853mm equivalent. Of course, along with the advantages of a teleconverter, there are disadvantages, and today, I’ll talk about both in great detail, so that you can decide if the XF 1.4x Teleconverter is right for you.
