Fujifilm equipment and articles
2026 has been a pretty eventful year for me so far. It started off in the Philippines, trying to sell our belongings and arrange our international family move back to Scotland. Sorting out all the loose ends while also getting a home organised from the other side of the world was a bit of a … Read more
I’ve heard it said on multiple occasions that the Fujifilm 16-55mm f/2.8 II is like having a bag full of primes. That sounded great to me as I’ve primarily shot primes on Fuji over the last few years and while my 18-55mm was a bargain when it came with my X-T5, I can’t help but … Read more
Last updated: July 18th 2026: I’ve been extensively shooting the lenses mentioned below alongside the Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II to see if it truly replaces a “bag of primes.” You can read my full deep-dive into that project here. I’ve been shooting Fujifilm cameras since the original X-Pro1. Over the years … Read more
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
