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

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
Last Update November 14th 2025:I’ve continued shooting with the XF 56mm f/1.2 WR this year, it’s a lens I’ll likley never sell. My impressions remain the same: the autofocus isn’t as quick as Fuji’s linear-motor primes, but the image quality wide open is still fantastic — and every time I use it, I’m reminded why … Read more
Living and working as a photographer in the Philippines has taught me a lot about what really matters in a camera — and it’s why, after owning almost every major system, I still choose to shoot Fujifilm for my own work.
