Review: XF100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR

Fuji XF 100-400 OIS Review I was asked to capture some of the action at this years Liffey Descent race, now in it's 60th year. It's a race for canoes and kayaks that runs from the K Club in Kildare and finished a little over 30 Km down river in Dublin, plenty of tricky twists [...]

Fujifilm X-T3 – One Week Of WOW

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.

The Wide One We Have Been Waiting For – Fujifilm XF 8-16mm F/2.8 WR

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.

I Shoot With… Film

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.

The Jack Of All – Fuji XF16-55 F/2.8 R LM WR

This was the very first Fuji lens I bought, as part of a custom Fuji kit that Conns Cameras were kind enough to make up for me, along with a new Fujifilm X-T1, grip and a few other little things I needed. The flexibility from the range of this zoom gave me a great learning point to continue my Fuji journy with.

A Little Bit of Magic – Fuji’s XF 35mm F/1.4

Of the three lenses Fujifilm launched with their original interchangeable X cameras the Fuji XF 35mm F/1.4 was probably the best optically of them all. I reviewed the XF 18mm f/2 here, a lens that I really like despite it’s quirks, but the 35/1.4 had a little bit of magic to the look it helps create. The 35mm gives a field of view that is close to what you will get using a 50mm on a full frame camera. A true classic focal length and many photographers first foray past the kit lens that came with their camera. This lens is a step above the usual.
