Last Update February 23rd 2026: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. I’ve just written an article talking about why I still shoot the X100VI. Over … Read more
Last Update November 14th 2025: i have still been shooting with the Fujifilm 18mm 1.4WR lens, although not as much as I’d like as I have had so many other items to work with lately.

I’ve used the Fujifilm X100VI since its release, and the OM System OM-3 was tested extensively throughout August — including on my latest trip to Moalboal in the Philippines.

Last updated January 2026: Another year has nearly passed and yet I still find myself using my X-T5 as much as ever. In all honesty, I’ve been considering adding the Fuji 150-600mm and 500mm f/5.6 and using it for wildlife photography in Scotland and I have now added the Fuji 16-55mm f/2.8 II lens to … Read more
It’s a fair question. The internet has been flooded with praise for Fuji’s little retro-looking camera, and at times the hype has felt louder than the shutter itself. But here’s the thing: I’ve lived with it for over a year. I’ve owned the X100T, the X100V, and I still use other cameras from Nikon, OM … Read more
Updated April 2026: This review has been refreshed to reflect current pricing, performance, and continued real-world use of the XF 35mm f/2 on the latest Fujifilm bodies. It remains one of the best-value standard primes in the Fuji lineup — compact, reliable, and still the smart choice for most shooters. Is the Fuji 35mm f2 … Read more
Last Updated February 2026: Despite using a lot of cameras while writing articles for my website, the X-T5 remains the camera that I reach for when I’m with my family on personal trips and, the one I enjoy using the most, well, alongside my X100VI too. What I’ve found since moving to Scotland a couple … Read more
Updated April 2026 — This review covers the newer XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR version released in 2022, not the older non-WR model. After using it extensively alongside Fuji’s 18mm and 33mm WR lenses, here’s how it holds up today. Introduction The original Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 was one of the lenses I owned … Read more
