At last …Fuji X-E1 and motor roaming the first trip of the year |
Simon Peckham

Yeah… It seems and age since being out for the weekend in the camper so it was lovely to get away this last weekend, the forecast was sunny but cold, perfect for a trip to the sea side of Southend on Sea and a town not yet visited or had the pleasure of photographing. Sticking with my year or “on camera one lens” I was spending time with the X-e1 and 35mm f/1.4. Over the Christmas holiday I had ordered a thumb grip that attaches to the flash hot shoe. Here are my thoughts on the grip and the joys of Southend on Sea. I should start by commenting on the the little thumb grip for under £10 is really great little addition to the Fuji X-E1. It surprised me how the position proved to be very natural for holding the camera. It really does help in supporting your grip on the camera, In no way did it hamper my use, I was expecting it to cause a problem and that it would irritate me trying to get to the controls but no such problems occurred. If you have an X-E1/2 or X100/s I can highly recommend getting one of these things. I will be ordering another so I can have them on both the Fuji X-E1 and the Fuji X100…..
