Fujifilm X-Pro3 Mirrorless Camera Review:
If you’re looking for something that feels a bit more analog, and also gives you that rangefinder feel but you don’t want to necessarily drop $7-8k for something from Leica, then the Fujifilm X-Pro series might just be what you’re looking for. In a sea filled with APS-C mirrorless cameras from tons of manufacturers, I feel the X-Pro cameras have always had a special place because they are a bit unique. For instance, there’s that great hybrid viewfinder. There are features like the manual controls, and as I mentioned earlier, the rangefinder-styled design. With the release of the Fuji X-Pro3, the overall character is the same but now, there’s more tech and capability. [continue reading…]
Fujifilm X-T4 Mirrorless Camera First Impressions:
Quarantine caused by the corona virus pandemic here in New York City has eased up a bit, and I’m beginning to go out for more walks again. I’m still taking a lot of precautions, and shooting is definitely not like it used to be, and I don’t go out for as long as I used to but with that said, I am also beginning to start reviewing new gear again. One piece of gear that’s been on my list for a while now is the new Fujifilm X-T4. I recently received one, and here’s my first impressions of it. [continue reading…]
Fujifilm Gear: Shooting Cityscape in New York City:
Like many of you, I’ve been staying inside, and social distancing because of the corona virus pandemic. I’m doing what I can work wise at home. I’ve had some extra time, which I’ve used to do a variety of photographic activities (you can read my article: 6 Photo-Related Activities to do Under Self-Isolation). But since I’m not going out there for extended periods to get pics for any reviews or even for my own work, I’ve had extra free time, which I’ve been spending looking back at some of my older work. Particularly, I’ve been looking at some of my cityscape shots of New York City, a place I’m missing a little, since I no longer can walk around as freely, at least for the time being. Apparently, I did most of my cityscape work with my Fujifilm X Series cameras, and since I haven’t made a Fujifilm-related post in a while, I thought I’d share a few with all of you, go through what was on my mind at the time, and what specific gear I used.

Fujifilm XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR Lens Review:
Whether you’re a prime only shooter or not, there’s no denying that zooms play an important role in photography gear. After shooting with the Leica M for decades, I thought I’d only be exclusively a prime shooter myself but I’ve made two exceptions: When I bought the Fuji X-E1 a long time ago, the kit with the XF 18-55mm was too hard to resist mainly because of the price. Now, I’ve owned that lens for years. When I bought my SL, there weren’t even any native primes, so I bought the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm thinking I would trade it in, once I bought a native prime but guess what? It proved to be not only one of the best lenses I’ve ever used, I find it indispensable. So, it makes sense that a manufacturer like Fujifilm would invest a lot of time and money to create zooms, such as, their latest, the XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR lens. I’ve been wanting to review this lens for a while now, and I finally had my hands on it for a decent amount of time. Here’s what I think of it. [continue reading…]
Weekly Portrait Post: Walking Around SoHo with the Fuji X-Pro3:
This week’s portrait post is of Kristina (Instagram). A couple of weeks ago, I needed some portraits for my Fuji X-Pro3, and Kristina was nice enough to helped me out. We took these in SoHo, and I have to say, she was a champ because on this day, it was freezing out. We were walking around for a couple of hours. [continue reading…]
