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…]
Billingham 207 Camera Bag Review:
The Billingham 7 Series bags are for those who need a little more breathing room for say larger gear or just more gear in general. There are currently two in the series: the Billingham 207, and the 307 (the 107 has been discontinued). Both offer the same features with only the width of each bag being different. The 307 is the largest, and you guess it, the 207 is the smallest. Thanks to Billingham, I was able to get a 207 in to review, and here are my thoughts on it. [continue reading…]

Fujifilm XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR Lens First Impressions:
As some of you know, I’ve been shooting with the new Fuji X-Pro3 lately. I’ll be writing up my review soon but for now, you can read my first impressions of it. In addition to the new camera, I’ve also been testing the new XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR lens. I should’ve got this earlier but Fall was very busy time for me. Anyway, I’ve shot with it around the city already, and I even brought it along with me on one of my model shoots. I normally prefer fixed focal length lenses for my shoots but I got a few photos I really liked from this zoom. I will be writing up a big review for this lens but for now, here’s my first look of it. [continue reading…]
