REVIEW: Fujinon XF60mm f2.4 v Fujinon XF56mm f1.2 | Jeff Carter
Last month I added the superb Fujinon XF56mm f1.2R lens to my camera bag, which is the seventh Fujinon lens I have bought for my X-Series kit. It is also the third lens that covers the short telephoto range, the Read more …
Fuji X-T1: Is it a better street camera than the X100T? | Mike Evans
Currently I’m putting Fuji’s highly acclaimed X-T1 through its paces. It came with the standard 18-55 zoom but I have managed to borrow a remarkable little pancake, the 27mm f/2.8. I reckon it is just about the bee’s knees when Read more …
X100s v X-Pro1 – Comparing Two Favourites | Dave Young
Having owned my X100s for just a little over a week now and more or less taken it everywhere, I thought it would be an idea to talk about my initial impressions of it against my X-Pro1 which through 12 Read more …
X-E1 vs. X-E2 | Fuji vs. Fuji
In this post I’ll address what I see as the major differences between Fuji’s X-E1 and their newly released body update, the X-E2. The refreshing thing about how Fuji is operating these days is all their recent X-Series cameras (aside Read more …
Fuji X-T1 vs Fuji X-E1 | JWC
I have wrote many times on this blog how I’m not going to upgrade to a new camera. I am anti G.A.S. But I recently ran into a deal where a X-T1 was $400 off. I could not pass that up so Read more …
X-PRO1 vs. D800E vs. DP2M | VK.Photo
Finally I got time to compare raw output from Fujifilm X-PRO 1, Sigma DP2M and Nikon D800E. The test below is very much unscientific, it was conducted just out of my own curiosity. All three cameras are totally different beasts Read more …
Two lens portrait shoot-out — the Zeiss Touit 50mm macro and
Fuji 56mm f/1.4 on the X-T1 | Tom Grill
This is not a contest to see which lens is best. They are both exceptional at what they do, but do have differences that make them suitable for different tasks when shooting portraits. For this very reason, for my Nikon Read more …
10-24mm ƒ/4 vs. Primes | Fuji vs. Fuji
Since I made the jump from DSLR to mirrorless, I had been waiting for the lens that would fill the void left by my 14-24mm ultra-wide to wide angle zoom. It was on the roadmap, but months away, and Fujifilm didn’t have a prime that that got even close to a 14mm full frame equivalent. 3rd party offerings like Zeiss’s Touit 12mm got us closer, but still not quite to the width I was used to, and its sharpness had been called into question. Fujifilm’s FUJINON XF 10-24mm ƒ/4 covers an extraordinary range, from 15mm, all the way to 36mm. That’s 1mm narrower on the wide end than I had on full frame, but a full 12mm more on the opposite end of the focal range. The question is, can the 10-24mm ƒ/4 produce photos of a standard of quality that truly realizes its convenience? ….

Same lens different purpose? X100s vs. 23mm F1.4 | Ben Cherry
I’ve had the pleasure of using the X100s for a year now and I have to say I am completely smitten with it. It is a brilliant size that can fit into pockets and thus be carried everywhere. Chase Jarvis famously said “the best camera is the one that’s with you” and for me that quote resonates with this camera. The retro styling means that people either pay no attention to me or ask why I’m still shooting film, combining that with the silent shutter means that this is brilliant for street/documentary photography……..

Two Fuji’s One Canon | Ben Cherry
If you’re looking for an X-series AF tracking test using a manic springer spaniel as the test subject then you are definitely in the right place! My spaniel, Charlie, is the ultimate test subject that I put all my cameras through to determine their auto focus capabilities and limitations. This was previously conducted when i moved from a Canon 1Div to the 5Diii, which was dramatically better, with a very high hit rate using the wonderful Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS ii. Now the time has come to test the Fujifilm X-T1, 55-200mm lens and a prototype of the 18-135mm lens. I did try this test with the X-Pro1 about this time last year and the results were almost laughable… The X-T1 is an entirely different beast. What I have found so far is that once it locks on to a subject this camera is very good at tracking and seemingly with all Fuji lenses. However, there’s tracking and then there’s Canon 5Diii AI Servo… So how did the X-T1 and the latest telephoto lenses hold up against the ultimate action combo? Well I have to say I am extremely impressed by the results. So much so I’m not sure whether people can tell the difference. Each camera was set to ISO800, F5.6 (yes I know this means the 18-135mm was wide open) and used centre point continuous focus. Each lens was fully extended.. I didn’t hold back the zoom of the 55-200mm, woops forgot the crop factor………
