Fujifilm equipment and articles
I own some of Fujifilm’s sharpest primes. For years I’ve been a prime-only shooter with Fuji. I only ended up with the 18–55mm because it was the kit option available when I needed an X-T5. I didn’t buy it on purpose — yet on a family walk in the Scottish Highlands, it quietly proved its … Read more
Arriving in Scotland It’s been exactly one week since we finally touched down in Scotland. All those weeks and months of preparation didn’t really take the stress out of the move, nor the 28-hour journey back. We’ve left a lot of things in the Philippines — some not important, others more sentimental in value. Despite … Read more
I own both the Fujifilm X-T5 and the Nikon Zf. In fact, Fujifilm and Nikon are my two main systems, and I regularly shoot with both. Over the past few months I’ve been using the X-T5 and the Zf side by side, and I know a lot of people are trying to decide which modern, … Read more
I’ve used the XF 23mm f/2 extensively on the Fujifilm X-T5, side-by-side with the Fujifilm X100VI, and alongside Fujifilm’s other 23mm options — including the Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 WR. This review isn’t theoretical. It’s based on real shooting in the Philippines, travel use, street photography, and close comparison against the X100VI’s fixed lens — … Read more
I own both the Fujifilm X100VI and the Ricoh GR IV, and I’ve also shot extensively with the Ricoh GR III. Recently, I’ve been using the GR IV quite a lot and spent time comparing it directly to the GR III. While it is a better camera overall, I’ll be honest — the updates feel … Read more
Over the past year I’ve had the chance to shoot with a wide range of cameras — from the Ricoh GR series through to Fujifilm’s GFX system. I discussed the Ricoh GRIV vs the X100VI to see which is better. More recently I’ve been spending time with Nikon Z bodies, and before that the OM … Read more
If you want to capture those special moments of your children then (like me) you probably want to see a real jump up in image quality from what you can get on your phone camera. But not all lenses are equal. Basic zoom lenses, while versatile, don’t always separate your photos from the crowd or … Read more
I originally bought the Fujifilm 50mm f/2 to complete my set of small, weather-sealed primes alongside the 23mm f/2 and 35mm f/2. Both of those lenses impressed — more so the 35mm f/2, which I found sharp, fast to focus, and great value. Both of these lenses featured in the best Fujifilm lenses article. To … Read more
Fujifilm X-T5 vs Nikon Z6III – Which Should You Buy? The Fujifilm X-T5 is, in my opinion, Fuji’s best photographer’s camera. The image quality is excellent, the handling is unique in today’s market, and the autofocus, despite what some say, is more than good enough in most real situations. But the internet will tell you … Read more
Note that this article is more about how the cameras make you feel and shoot. I did a detailed comparison of the Fuji X-T5 vs Nikon Z6III here. I also compared the Nikon Z6III vs Nikon Z8. I recently wrote about why the Nikon ZF is an important camera and will compare it with the … Read more
