Mind and Heart-walking the Fujifilm X-Pro 2 for the first time | Tony Bridge

This review is a few days overdue. On Saturday, a big storm blew through Hokianga and took out the power, along with crippling the ferry upon which the district depends. Power was restored only in the early hours of this morning. It is interesting how much we rely on electricity to work, and we tend to take things for granted, until something like this happens.

 

Back about five years ago, I got my hands on the X-Pro 1 and took it for a holiday in China for 5 weeks. It was the only camera I took with me. I have long given up on the idea of taking a big DSLR kit, unless someone else is picking up the excess baggage bill. After a few months of shooting with it, I was in love-mostly. I loved the image quality and the dynamic range this Poor Man’s Leica could deliver. I loved the lenses, although there were only 3 at the time. I loved that such a ditzy camera could (with a little care and a solid tripod) deliver an A0 print. I adored the fact that I had to find a camera bag SMALL enough to carry it all………
