Fujifilm X-T 1 and Fujinon 56mm f1.2: The X Revolution Continues… | Gus Waschefort

Even though we are only a little over one month into 2014, Fujifilm has already had a busy year, having added five new lenses to its roadmap for future release, not to mention having launched the XF 56mm F1.2 R and most recently, the Fujifilm X-T1. I am among a handful of photographers who were lucky enough to receive a pre-production model of the camera, and decided to put it through its paces at a solo concert by South African musician Shotgun Tori. This event was ideal to pair the X-T1 with the XF 56mm F1.2 R, as there was very little light and being a solo concert, I was to focus much on the individual musician. All the images of the evening were shot at 3200 ISO and mostly at f1.2 – demanding conditions indeed! The traditional manual-style controls of Fujifilm X-Series cameras have gained much popularity. The X-T 1 takes this aspect even further, with a manual knob control for ISO, and manual controls to select frame rate and metering coverage. I have always been very keen on manual style controls, as in my view it is inherently more intuitive to turn a knob, or an aperture ring, than it is to press a button and have to make a selection within an electronic interface. The X-T 1 is undoubtedly the most intuitive digital camera I have ever handled……..
