Fuji X-T1 28 days later | Leia Smthurst
Back in early January I wrote about my Fuji’s. Now that some time has passed and I’ve crossed over into „Fujiland“ throwing all inhibitions to the wind- I’ve got to say- this system is really amazing. As I have mentioned many times over the years- I follow Zach regularly- and one thing in his last blog really stuck out. He mentioned how he had shot a print catalog for a clothing company and 90% of it was shot with the 56mm and the X-T1. That got my attention. I mean- yes, you can take a photo with any camera and have it printed- but knowing that he had used this on a bigger job, and knowing what the ultimate goal of those photos really was- it was really intriguing that he chose that system. While I have played and played and played- I had never taken any Fuji out on an ‚official‘ shoot. There is always that stigma. If I show up with this camera, the client I’m working with isn’t going to take me seriously. If I show up with this, their confidence is going to disappear. If I show up with this… (and on and on). Two weeks ago, I took the X-T1 (and my Canon just in case) on an engagement shoot. Not only did the clients NOT care what camera I was using, but I never pulled my Canon out once. I switched from the 35mm to the 56- and it was fantastic. Changing the aperture and seeing how it will affect the image in real time through the EVF is simply amazing. I can’t do this in-studio however- because it won’t account for the fact that you are using OCF……..
