The Fuji X-T1: It’s a Winner | Justin Reznick

In the first edition of my Complete Guide to Gear for the Landscape Photographer, I omitted the Fuji X APS-C mirror-less system because at the time, I felt it wasn’t built for landscape photography. That has now changed. 2014 has been a big year for Fuji and with the release of two new products, the Fuji X-T1, a weather sealed pro body, and the Fuji XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS, a wide-angle lens with a full-frame equivalent of 15-36mm, it is time to take the Fuji X system seriously. Before purchasing one, I talked to some peers who had taken the plunge. There was an overwhelmingly positive response. People who purchased the Fuji body as a backup for their full-frame Canon or Nikon kit find themselves using the Fuji more, due to its light weight and overall quality. Would it be possible to use the Fuji X system exclusively? That’s a question I will be working on in the coming months. Before I share my impressions, it’s important to know how complete the system is. While the Sony A7R is getting a lot of buzz, that system is years away from being ready without the use of adapter. Take a look at the variety within the Fuji lens road map. They even have a super telephoto lenses coming in 2015 to expand the base to sports and wildlife shooters……
