The first time we worked with the XF 50-140mm F2.8 lens we were impressed with its optics, superb image stabilization and build/weather sealing, but disappointed by its size and weight. As a result, we decided not to add this lens to our bag. After a few weeks we had another an opportunity, this time while [...]
It was our first encounter with the original Fuji X100 back in 2011 that triggered a major shift in our approach to photography and prompted our adventure with the X-series cameras. For the last few years we have been shooting exclusively with the X-series. After the X100 it was the X-Pro1, X-E1, X100S/T and finally [...]
The September-October period has always been my favourite time for photography. At this time of the year, places are often pillowed by fog, the sun’s rays are much more gentle and… I don’t have to wake up at 4:00 AM to witness a sunrise. Today, I stopped by Rocky Point Park in Port Moody, British [...]
Kasia and I had only one morning in this agricultural region of south-eastern Washington as we were heading home from colourful Colorado. It was the last stop on the trip and we were glad we made it. After photographing the fall season in Colorado, the Mesa Verde ruins and the majestic Grand Teton National Park, [...]
The recent lack of new posts was not result of our break from photography. Quite the opposite! We have been busy travelling and photographing one of the most incredible places in North America. This time our bag included the Fuji X100S, the Fuji X-T1 paired with the XF 14mm F2.8 and the XF 50-140 F2.8. [...]
During our recent travels south of the border, while photographing Route 66 we stumbled upon Nelson, a small town in Nevada. For those of you fond of everything Americana, this is like a Disneyland of old, historic, cool and strange artefacts. We arrived there at midday with limited time to spend. Luckily, the area is [...]
There is no shortage of stunning places in North America and Kasia and I have hunted out many fantastic landscapes. Despite our travels, no other landscape has made such a profound visual and emotional impact on us as Death Valley. It is a visual Mecca for those who find beauty in remote, strange and rare [...]
Fuji X-T1 & XF 14mm F2.8 During our recent photography trip south of the border, Monument Valley was not even on our itinerary. One morning we finished photographing the Grand Canyon and planned to head back. However, we knew that Monument Valley – a place that we have been always fascinated with – was only [...]
What a trip it was! We covered 7700 kilometres, ventured into the most incredible landscapes in the world and met fascinating people. We travelled with Fuji X-T1, XF 14mm F2.8, a brand new XF 50-140mm F2.8 OIS and Fuji X100T. We have a lot of material for you, which we have only just started to review. [...]
After shooting extensively with the XF 50-140mm F2.8, we would like to share a few points about this lens with you: Micro-Contrast: Superb and on a par with our beloved XF 56mm F1.2 Optics: Bitingly sharp, to our eye, a notch better than Canon or Nikon equivalents Image Stabilization (OIS): 5-stops – YES, it works, [...]
