Through The Lens
Fujifilm launched a new camera in the last month, I finally got my own one & put it through the paces over the last week. Is it much of an improvement over the X-T2, read on to find out my initial thoughts on it.
Well it finally happened, after much asking, Phase One released Capture One 11.3 for Fujiilm cameras at a bargain price of FREE all be it a slightly limited version of their truly awesome raw and JPEG editing software. But the good news goes on as the full version of Capture One Pro is available for only 159+vat, limited to Fuji cameras only. So now you have no excuse to keep using Lightroom and really make the most of the wonderful Fuji raw files.
WOW WHAT A LENS!
There it is right there end of review… Really that is all I could say after using Fujifilm’s new XF8-16mmF2.8 R LM WR ultra wide zoom lens for a day. I borrowed it from Fujifilm to help with a shoot I had that day as the promise of 121º of rectilinear imaging was something I just had to see for myself.
Do you shoot fully manual or do you prefer to shoot with one of the priority settings that Fuji offer on their cameras? I get asked this question from time to time & I also read it online a fair bit so I thought I would be a good idea to share my set up …
A couple of Official X-Photographers some wake boarding and plenty of Fuji cameras and lenses… There was also coffee. Welcome to Photographers with Fuji’s Getting Coffee
Do you want to download some Lightroom presets that will make things easier to change the Fujifilm camera profiles in post?
Take Kayo spends some time talking with some who still shoot film and how they see the future of the photography art form with film in a digital world. I still shoot a bit of film with my original 35mm camera. I’m about 1/2 way through some Fuji Provia 400 at the moment, and there is a great sense of connection and anticipation with the camera and what it will output. After all you can’t just look at the back of the camera to preview the image you just shot, you’ll have to wait till you finish the roll and then go get it developed. Unless you go shoot with an Instax that is.
