Billingham Rucksack 35 Backpack Review:
If you follow my blog, it is no secret that I’ve been a huge fan of Billingham products, and I’ve been using them for a very long time. The truth is, they really know how to make great bags. Recently though, they released two new backpacks. There’s a larger one (which I reviewed) called the Rucksack 25, and it fits quite a lot of stuff. Think DSLR territory or even my Leica SL with its native lenses. Then there is the Rucksack 25, which is what I will be talking about today. This is a nice little backpack, and I imagine a lot of mirrorless or rangefinder users may want a closer look at it. So, let’s begin. [continue reading…]
Fujifilm X-E3 Mirrorless Camera Review:
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Fuji X-E series cameras, so when I heard the news that Fuji was going to release the X-E3, I was definitely excited to get my hands on one. I was a proud owner of an X-E1 and X-E2. I use an X-T2 now but don’t think for a moment I don’t miss my X-E2. I always felt the X-E series offered quite a lot for the price. With a wealth of new features, this new X-E3 promises even more, and today, I’ll talk about whether or not I feel my expectations were met. Let’s get started. [continue reading…]

A Look at The Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2 R APD Lens:
I imagine some of you are getting ready for Thanksgiving, so I’m going to keep it short today. I know I still have to do a little last minute food shopping myself but I thought I’d write up one more post before Thanksgiving. So, last night I was working on some of the pictures for my upcoming Fuji X-E3 review (which I’ll probably post next week), and I started to look at a couple of files I took with the XF 56mm f1.2 APD. The lens is my own copy, not a loaner but I haven’t used it in months until a couple of days ago with the X-E3. The funny thing is it’s been so long since I’ve used the XF 56mm APD that I kind of forgot how much of an impact this lens has in terms of rendering. The smooth bokeh is so pleasing…to be honest, it kind of surprised me in a good way. [continue reading…]

Billingham 72 vs. 4 Other Billingham Bags:
Today, I’m going to talk a bit more about the new Billingham 72 camera bag. For those interested, I wrote a long review earlier, and it can be found here. Anyway, a reader wanted to know how the new Billingham 72 compares to the M Combination, and the Hadley Small. I was actually going to write up a comparison between the 72, Stowaway Compact, and Stowaway Pola but I figured I might as well just put it all together, and compare all five bags at once.

The ACROS Film Mode in the Fujifilm X-E3:
Hey everyone! So, I am definitely a RAW shooter. I have friends that shoot in jpeg, and they even edit from them but my personal preference has always been to shoot in RAW. In fact, pretty much every photo on this blog has been processed from a RAW file. So, when Fujifilm came out with the ACROS film simulation mode for their X Series cameras a while back, I thought it was really cool but I haven’t really used it much. I think I tried it once or twice but that was about it. [continue reading…]
