Fuji X-T1 und Fuji X-E2 schreiben | Jörg Langer

Also ich habe mir eine kleine Fuji X-E2 zugelegt. Dieses habe ich entgegen der Vermutung einiger nicht aus Sammelleidenschaft oder weil sie so ähnlich in der Hand liegt wie eine Mess-Sucherkamera getan, sondern aus einem ganz einfachen trivialen und profanem Grund: Sie ist die billigste Kamera die den selben AF und Sensor wie die XT-1 hat, die ja meine Hauptkameras für meine Fotojobs sind. Da ich eine im Eifer einer Hochzeits-Emotionen-Reportage durch einen Sturzschaden “geschrottet” habe und diese nun zum Kostenvoranschlag und (hoffentlich Versicherungs-) Reparatur geht brauche ich eine zweite Kamera für die bevorstehenden Hochzeiten. An die Arbeitsweise mit zwei nahezu identischen Kameras mit zwei Festbrennweiten habe ich mich mittlerweile so sehr gewöhnt und meine persönliche Art zu fotografieren so daran angepasst, das ich mich regelrecht nackisch fühle wenn ich nur eine der beiden Kameras am Mann habe. Ich nutze auf Hochzeiten zu 95% das 23 1.4 (also mein “35 er” dank Cropfaktor) und mein heißgeliebtes 56 1.2 (also mein “85 er” dank Cropfaktor) und diese beiden Linsen eben immer mit zwei Kameras am Mann. Um den “Nackisch-sein-Feeling” in den nächsten 2-4 Wochen so lange die eine X-T1 im Service ist, zu entgehen habe ich eben die “billigste” Alternative dazu geordert, und das ist im Moment die Fuji X-E2. Natürlich wäre eine extrem günstig gebraucht zu bekommende X-E1 eine billigere Alternative gewesen, aber ich wollte den schnellen und vor allem zuverlässigen AF der X-T1 und X-E2 auf jeden Fall haben. Im Business der Hochzeitsfotografie kann und vor allem will ich mir keinen unzuverlässigen AF einer X-E1 leisten……..

Fujifilm X-T1 Review: A Canon User’s Perspective –
Guest Post by Duncan Fawkes | MirrorLessons

I’ve been a Canon user since I started photographing seriously in 2007. For the last 6 years I’ve been using the Canon 5D Mark 2/3. Overall I’ve been very happy with the 5D. The image quality is terrific, and the controls are very well laid out and intuitive. It’s a very usable camera and a great performer. However I was finding that its size and weight meant that I would often leave it at home. For dedicated landscape photography trips I’d take the big bag with me, but for everything else – family days, day trips, commuting, a leisurely stroll – the only camera I had with me was my iPhone. My desire for a second camera coincided with the release of the Fujifilm X-E1 which promised great performance in a much smaller package. There was a lot to like about this camera. Although small and laggy, I loved the histogram and the focus peaking in the EVF. The image quality was excellent even ignoring its small form factor. And of course its smaller size and weight meant I was now carrying a very capable camera around with me……..

First Event DSLR Free | Matthew Hart

Last year at Africa Oye I was shooting with a Nikon D3s and a variety of Nikon Pro glass, as well as my favourite Sigma 300mm lens. I also had a Fuji X100 with me.  I was thinking about trying out Mirrorless but had not made up my mind. I managed to get a few shots with the X100 and one got published. I was worn out after two days shooting at Africa Oye 2013! If you have never shot an event believe me two or three days shooting all day with a heavy DSLR body takes its toll on your back and shoulders. I had been exploring the Fuji option for a while but felt I could not give up my D3s and 300mm f/2.8 ! But as most of you know from my previous posts I did give up my D3s last year at the end of the festival season. I went over to Fuji from Nikon and then spent the rest of the year shooting Fuji but in the back of my mind I was worried about the festival season. My first event in the 2014 calendar was Africa Oye, this will be followed by Brazilica, the Giants and LIMF.  Even after spending quite a while shooting with the XPro1 and the X-T1 I would not have a fast enough lens for the job in low light. The 55-200mm is fine but it’s not a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 so would struggle in low light and is a little slow at times. The Fuji bodies only go up to 6400 ISO so my fear was as the light dropped I would run out of light and not be able to shoot……

Bye bye NIKON, Hello FUJIFILM | Björn Moerman

X-T1 the camera that changed it all!

When Fujifilm announced their new top of the line X-T1 in January 2014, their two main selling points were „weather-sealing“ and an „enhanced auto-focus system“ which included the focus tracking system which I was lurking after. As soon as GPP Dubai had an X-T1 in stock, I was on my way! I didn’t take long, before my Nikon D800 and 4 expensive lenses went up for sale on the second hand photography market. After all they had been used so little since the start of 2014, that they really deserved some new ownership. So is the X-T1 perfect? Obviously NOT! No piece of technology is… I don’t like how the 4 way buttons feel at the back, even though I slowly learned to live with it. Battery performance is really nothing to write home about; especially since it is known to drop from being fully charged to being empty in just a few shots. I travel with a minimum of 4 batteries where ever I go. I do however like the camera. It has something which is very hard to describe; like falling in love all over again…….

The Fuji switch part I: landscapes! | Ben Jacobsen

This post is a bit overdue and because of that it’s probably going to be a bit long… In case you haven’t noticed I’ve been in the process of switching my entire kit over from a canon full frame kit to a fuji APS-C (“crop”) kit. This has roots that go back about 5 years when I started shooting m…

Fuji XT1 Review | Mahmood Salam

I have so much to write about how Fujifilm cameras have changed the way I shoot and how DSLRs are starting to feel like strangers to me; indeed it’s no surprise that many people on the Internet are starting to call it the new Leica or Leica for those who are on a budget(or not as rich as Leica ow…

Fujifilm X-T1 Review write-up from the real world | Photo Madd

I have had the X-T1 for a while now since my first impressions went up about it, it is time to sit down and write-up a proper full review of how I’ve used it over the past few months. Over that time I’ve played with it, I’ve travelled with it and I’ve used it for professional work and shot every…

FUJI X-T1: Has Mirrorless Finally Gone Pro? | Carlos Echenique

Fujifilm’s X-Series of cameras have set new standards for mirrorless camera systems. Combining a retro look and feel with cutting edge technology in an attempt to marry the old and new schools, Fuji’s latest entry, the Fujifilm X-T1 adds weather sealing, an industry leading EVF, truly outstanding…

Fuji X-T1 Review | Alessio Michelini

Conclusions When I tested this camera on a specific area, live music photography, it didn’t disappointed me, and as a general purpose camera it’s perfect. Again, it’s not a camera for every type of photography, it’s a camera made for street photographers and it works well in other fields, but if…

La photo de mariage et le Fujifilm X-T1 | K-pture

Il y a un peu plus de quatre mois, j’ai décidé de switcher de Nikon (D4) à Fuji (X-T1). Depuis ce moment, pour certains, je suis devenu un profond imbécile, un amateur, un fou et/ou un original (les murs ont des oreilles); et pour d’autres, je suis devenu un héro. Peu importe, je m’en fous de ce …
