Jonas Rask doesn’t consider himself a professional photographer, but his lecture is as good as any “professional” lecture I have seen on street shooting. Like many he started with the X100, because he wanted a quality camera that he could take anywhere with him. At this time Jonas prefers the rangefinder style shooting of the X-Pro2, but he has an interesting theory about why the X-T2 and X-Pro2 were released around the same time and with the same specs. He also had an opportunity to use the GFX and says that its smaller than a D800 and weighs less than a D810, which are things we have heard before.

Fujifilm Fujinon 23mm F2 vs F1.4
Many have already decided if the Fujinon XF23 F2 R WR or Fujinon XF23 F1.4 R is right for them, but most reviews picked the Fujinon XF23 F2 R WR over the Fujinon XF23 F1.4 R. I personally picked the F2 over the F1.4 because I prefer weather resisted lenses living in FL, but I hope that someday soon lenses like the XF23/35 will be updated with WR editions because I prefer the way they capture images. Sebastian Castilho seems to agree with me and does a very good job articulating why you might prefer the F1.4 to F2 too.

Fujifilm Continues Doing Well in End of Year Roundups
The Fujifilm X-T2 is runner up to the Nikon D500 for camera of the year for Tony & Chelsea Northrup, while the Fujifilm GFX is their top unreleased camera.
Richard Butler the administrator at DPReview picked the Fujifilm X-T2 as his camera of the year over the Nikon D500 for the reason most Fujifilm fans already enjoy
“my product of the year is, without question, the Fujifilm X-T2. Not because it’s unquestionably better (it isn’t), but because it’s the camera the most made me want to get out and shoot, this year.”
Popular photography also included the Fujifilm X-Pro2, Instax SP-2 and Fujinon XF 100–400mm f/4.5–5.6 R LM OIS WR on their best gear of the year list.
