Review: One Week With the Fujinon XF 50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR |
Tor Martin Søndenå
I must admit that living with the X-series as my only system has been more challenging than I both hoped and thought before I changed my system. I was in love with the X-T1 from the moment it was announced and the previews started to appear online. As with every new love one are blinded by all the positive aspects and tend to overlook the negative ones. But after a while the first crush starts to fade and the negative aspects start to reveal themselves and the situation gets much more nuanced. From the day I received my Fujifilm gear I have had to compromise and work around issues that even my 10 years old fullframe cameras just did right. Some issues like the lack of High Speed Sync and IR AF assist light when using flash, I didn’t even consider before I switched. High Speed Sync and proper AF assist light had been around for so many years that I took for granted that Fujifilm’s external flashes had this. I have probably in almost every post on this site written about something that a pro DSLR just do right , but that you have to work around in some kind of way when using the X-series. Often this is just small things, but the X-series is still kind of immature and still lacks important pro features like a usable flash system. Ninety percent of the time my Fuji gear work brilliantly, but the 10 percent where you have to compromise are in best case annoying…….
