Last night I was filming with the Fujifilm X-Pro 2 again to test manual video recording and I decided it would be interesting to do a comparison. I wanted to try something extreme, the FujiFilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R vs Leica 50mm f/1.4 Summilux M Aspherical.

I came across an interesting article today about street shooting techniques that some might find informative, but it made me think about my particular style and success rate. I have always felt that I have a high hit rate for photos that I find pleasing, to the point that I largely need others to give […]

It seems from the B&H preorder page that Fuji models will have full Nissin Air 2.4Ghz support. Now I am curious to see how well high speed flash sync […]

I just finished reading their review and it is very fair and thorough, but I wish they tested more lenses, since system performance is largely lens dependent. The cons seem like a stretch to me since they are classifying the camera as semi-professional, […]
