Breathtaking 👍

Wonderful images.

Excellent set. I use the same camera lens combo, perfect for static subjects ;-)

If I was you I would take the 14mm as a companion to the 23mm.

Sure. I picked up the wonderful Fuji 35mm f/1.4. Fantastic lens and lives up to the hype. However, I deemed it ' one of the best lenses I never used ' and sold it last summer. I did the same years ...

Exactly. I guess that is why you are called Peace Keeper ;-)

I spend only about $15 on an adapter from Rainbow Imaging on ebay and it worked fine when I used a Voigtlander 15mm. I loved the lens but eventually sold in in favor of the Fuji 14mm. Never had a ...

Regarding jpgs, the original XTrans sensor generally had better jpg than second generation. The Provia was more natural and had as much as two stops more dynamic range - mostly in the shadow ...

Few advertisments ever make me lust for a camera, this one does. I love to photograph landscapes and high dynamic range and old fashion, tripod mounting... This camera would fit that bill and never...

I own the Lee Seven5 system if filters, 2 stop hard, 2-stop soft, and the Big Stopper. I have nothing but good things to say about them. I have also used three other major brands. The key is always...

XPro2 got a score of 83 but only recieved Silver Award.

Also, the 6300 should have been compared to the XPro2 but it was compared only to a DSLR.

Agreed. As i mentioned above, the rounded aperture blades are not great. The Rokinon 12mm looks very good from the above photos.

There are two general types of buttons, concave and convex. The difference is noticeable. I strongly prefer convex. I have used the inexpensive ones one ebay that goes for under $5 with shipping. ...

Many modern lenses render poor sunstars, and this includes fuji glass. The main reason is the curved aperture blades. Straight blades render cleaner sunstars. The best lens I used on my XE1 is a ...

Ooops. Well, i guess using a tripod when not having sterilization helps to get a clean shot 😃 Okay, i know that was a bad attempt at a save 🤐

Sadly, whatever the reason, Fuji has painted themselves in a corner. I think the best stabilization is that designed for the focal length used. IBIS is a one size to hopefully fit all but the ...

Me too. My first Nikon lens was the Nikon 18-70 for my D70. I later picked up the Nikon 17-55 f/2.8 and loved it but it was big and heavy for long hikes with my tripod to shoot waterfalls in the ...

I too would like to see a stabilized 16-50 (55) medium fast zoom of high quality with weather sealing. F/4 at the long end would be fine with aperture ring. Fuji has two lenses in this range ...

Well, maybe closer to ISO 1600 on my old D200 :)

I have been using Photo Ninja for the past several years without complaint. Detail is superb, the default that the image opens to are nearly perfect from the start, DR is one of the best - if that ...
