Very quickly, the X100s has become my favourite digital camera. It is small, and for the most part, elegantly designed. Attach a Thumbs Up style grip and it is nearly as hand-holdable as a film rangefinder. Of course, its 23mm f/2 lens is both wide and fast enough to do just about everything I need it to do in events and audio product reviews. The elements that show the X100s well in event photography: its silent shutter, and clear OVF, show it equally well on the street. Of course, I’m no street photographer. When I head into Tokyo on business, I carry the X100s. It’s the perfect size to slip into a small bag, or hang from an errant thumb. I’m no street artist. From time to time, I fire off a few images. That’s about it. The most talented street photographer I know personally is my wife; and after her, Martin Irwin. (My X100’s first outing was with Martin.) And none of us practice that sort of thing often enough. I’m the guy that nudges reflectors all day whilst chugging whisky, wine, and cheap vodka and blåbär saft. I rarely get out of the office/studio. But recently, I met up with a few cool headfiers at e-earphone’s awesome porta fes 2014. You have to check out the ortofon TA-Q7. Awesome use of space…..
