I was lucky enough to be contacted by Fujifilm UK to use one of the prototypes of the XF18-135mm F3.5-5.6 R OIS WR lens to obtain some wildlife shots. Being a part of the Fujifilm X-Photographers is a real honour, and to be asked to try out a prototype lens is an opportunity I am extremely grateful for. Within two hours of the first email being sent I had thought up some ideas on how I could get some wildlife shots. The equivalent focal length of the lens, 28-200mm, is not necessarily ideal for all forms of wildlife. This especially applies to bird photography, however I wanted to prove that this system was capable. In the UK there are two places that immediately stand out for this – Bass Rock, an Island off Scotland’s East coast that has one of the largest northern gannet breeding populations in the world. Then there are the Farne Islands, home to thousands of guillemots, razorbills, shags, kittiwakes and the wonderful puffin……..
