Fuji XF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens Review:
It’s only been a few short years yet Fuji has definitely been very busy expanding their X Series system. They went from having just three fixed focal length lenses to a system that now encompasses a vast range of different fixed focal length and zoom lenses. Thanks to the newly released Fuji XF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens, they’ve now expanded to the extreme telephoto range. So far, Fuji have done a really good job making some first class lenses, so expectations are very high for this new zoom, especially since the asking price of $1899 makes this the most expensive lens in the X Series system so far. So, does the XF 100-400mm fulfill these expectations? Does it measure up? Read on and find out!

Fuji X-Pro2 Review:
The Fuji X-Pro1 was a special camera because of several reasons. First, it played a huge role in starting a brand new interchangeable lens system that in a relatively short amount of time, has grown into one that is prominent, and one that has helped Fuji firmly establish a place in the mirrorless world. It was also the answer for many people who were looking for a rangefinder styled camera that performed superbly but also was decently priced. However, a lot has changed in 4 or 5 years. While the X-Pro1 is still a great camera, it has started lagging in some key areas. Seeing this, Fuji finally released its successor, the Fuji X-Pro2 (B&H Photo/Amazon). The specs look pretty good on paper, and it seems that Fuji has fulfilled a lot of the wishes and demands that users of the X-Pro1 have been asking for. But its rivals are even more competitive nowadays, so are the modifications and improvements made to the X-Pro2 enough to keep it competitive in the market? Read on and find out! [continue reading…]
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.

Fuji X70 Review:
So much has changed since the days of the first X100 or even the X-Pro1. The Fuji X Series has grown into a system that now encompasses an extensive range of products in an attempt to appeal to a broader range of photographers and enthusiasts. A new camera that has just been recently added to this growing system is the Fuji X70. This new camera uses essentially the same basic recipe that has made the X Series so popular amongst its followers, like the same sensor and analog controls of it’s other siblings, but puts it all in a very compact form. By doing this, Fuji hopes to appeal to users looking for a high end compact camera with the performance and characteristics of the X Series. [continue reading…]

Fuji X70 First Impressions:
I will be posting my review of the Fuji X70 probably by the end of this week but I thought I’d give all of you my overall first impressions of this camera. When I first heard about the X70, I thought it was a great idea. Who doesn’t want a compact camera with an APS-C sensor for about $700? However, there were two things I didn’t like about it right off the bat. I don’t like the fact that the X70 does not have a viewfinder, and while I’m okay with a fix focal length lens, I don’t like that it is essentially a 28mm equivalent. I’m just not a huge fan of a 28mm lens in general. [continue reading…]
