The Fujifilm X-T2 | Scott Grant

Back a couple of years ago a box from Fujifilm Canada showed up at my door. Inside was this little camera called the X-T1. I remember sitting in my living room, opening the box, holding it in my hands and thought “oh boy, this is far too small for me”. I added the battery grip and I started to feel a little better about the camera’s size. Then I lifted the camera to my eye and peered through the electronic viewfinder (EVF). Wow! I was floored by how large and clear it was! This was my first experience with the Fujifilm X-T1 and I remember like it was yesterday. It was a tipping point as far as my gear was concerned. At that time I had been working with a pair of Nikon D700’s, a D800 and a D7000. For lenses I owned most of the fast primes and the f2.8 zooms. And I was carrying way too much weight. I did own an X100s, a camera I reviewed here. That little fixed lens camera was my introduction to the world of Fujifilm. It opened doors for me in many ways. It showed me that a large and heavy DSLR was not necessary to make beautiful, professional grade images. Unfortunately my X100s met an untimely demise in a beautiful river while photographing a friend salmon fishing. It really is a shame that camera couldn’t swim. I ordered an X100T in short order. That X-T1 became my workhorse. I was leaving my Nikon kit in the car while I making a living with Fujifilm cameras and lenses.
