I’m a big fan of the Fujifilm X-Series range of digital cameras. In September 2010 Fuji decided to introduce a smaller, rangefinder looking camera based on an 12 MP APS-C sensor size. The X100 was born. This little gem looked like the Leica’s of old, or even an older Yashica. It was smallish, mirrorless and it had retro appeal, up close not so much but still it was retro cool. It came packaged with a very good fixed 23mm f/2 lens with a leaf shutter and a hybrid viewfinder offering a switchable EVF and OVF function. Crazy. It’s CMOS sensor was Fuji spec’ed but still used a traditional Bayer filter. It was a hit. People lined up to buy them and a cult like following was formed. I bought one right off, as soon as I could find one, Availability was scarce. Fuji never figured it would be as popular as it was. It was a quirky piece of gear to be sure. Its focus time could be measured with a sundial. The auto ISO function was weird in function and use. It took about 20 minutes it seemed to start and be ready to operate. It had issues. It shot at higher ISO values well though, had a ND filter built in, rendered beautiful Fuji colors like their films and also rendered killer B&W images. It didn’t much matter how quirky it was……..
