Have a Great Independence Day!:

Hey everyone, I hope you all have a safe, and fun Independence Day, and a great holiday weekend.  I can’t believe it’s already July!  This photo here was taken with my Fuji X-E1 and the Zeiss Touit 12mm lens.  I’ve been shooting with both Touit lenses all week, and they’re both great.  I only wished the weather was better.  It has been so hot and humid here in New York City.  The 32mm F1.8 is a fantastic little lens but I must say, the 12mm is the lens I really don’t want to return.  Optically, it’s excellent but the focal length (an 18mm equivalent) is just so much fun to use!  I can’t get enough of this lens.  I think there might be an 18mm (either for the Leica or the Fuji) in my future only because I don’t know if I can live without this focal length ;).

Anyway, I just want to give you all an update of what’s to come: I’ll be writing up user reviews for both Touit lenses, and will probably post them next week.  I will also most likely write up a comparison post between the 32mm F1.8 Touit lens and the XF 35mm F1.4.  Lastly, I’ll be writing up a post that will have a lot of black and white photos from the Leica M.

So, again, I hope all of you enjoy the Fourth of July weekend.  Check out some of the Independence Day fireworks :).  I’ll be trying out the 32mm F1.8 Touit lens with some portrait shooting tomorrow, and then I’ll be post processing all of the photos that I took from both Touit lenses this weekend.  Take care everyone, and thanks for stopping by!

Love hate relationship with Fujifilm X-E1:

Hello, I am a new owner of Fuji X-E1. I am also a happy owner of Fuji X10, the little brother of X-E1. So, I am here to share my experience along my transition period from the little brother, to his elder sister (since people call is sexy one right, let’s make it a ‘her’ 🙂 ) But first of all, I am not a pro-user hence all this is just an experience of a normal person who is interested in capturing photo. So to make thing clearer, I would compare both of them. So let it how the sexy one blend in…A lot photo shown are SOOC, enjoy :). [continue reading…]

Zeiss Touit Full Review Coming Soon:

Btw everyone, I almost forgot to mention (been very busy editing A LOT of photos 😉 ); I’ll be writing up detailed reviews for both Zeiss Touit lenses for the Fuji X-Series very soon.  I know it’s a bit late but I got them a little late.  I had the opportunity to go to the Zeiss Touit Event thanks to Bob at Bergen County Camera a while back, and I instantly fell for these lenses.

Busy Start to Summer But Managed to do a Little Fishing:

Hey everyone!  Sorry for the lack of posts lately!  I really want to get into the habit of posting everyday but I also want to try to make quality posts.  Summer has finally arrived, and I’ve just been swamped!  I’ve been really busy working on a lot of photos, which of course, I will be posting here.  I did take one or two days off for some fishing though :).  I have a row boat in one of the reservoirs in Putnam County here in New York State.  It’s a short drive from New York City, and as you can see, the scenery is absolutely beautiful.
