Way too much fun with the x-t1 and 50-140 and TC 1.4x at the circuit of the americas - super fast sports cars were so much fun to shoot!  New blog post is up!

There was actually a big fujifilm tent there from the biggest camera shop in Austin.  I got to hold an x-t2 in my grubby paws with a 100-400 attached ... oh my ... it only took 10 seconds to figure out that the canon gear needs to be sold to fund some more fuji gear! That x-t2 was awesome for the short time I spent with it :-)

wow - very nice !! Love the panning shots.  what type of shutter speed do you use for those if I may ask?  I'm guessing around 1/150 or slower? 

So this was a serious challenge for the poor little x-t1 ... absolutely bad light, but it did as well as my canon gear (spoiler alert!).

Hi all - a big Texas howdy from a new Fuji fan :-) I am Ina slow migration away from all my canon feet and I'm really, really happy with the Fuji system so far. I have an x-t1, the 18-55 f:2.8 - F/4 "kit", and the 55-200 f/3.5-4.8. I mostly shoot portraits, events, and sports (yeah I know :-().
 
I'm honestly blown away by the image quality this camera and lenses produces. It easily rivals my canon 5d Mkii II and 7d II / 24/70 2.8 (v1) and 70-200 2.8.
 
I'm blown away by this 55-200 telephoto - the OIS and sharpness are just phenomenal for a "cheaper" lens - so glad I bought it - plan on shooting some portraits with it until I get the 56 1.2 :-)
 
One quick question - planning on getting an old x-e1 as a backup (I'm part time, fairly low volume). Any reasons why I shouldn't do this? Should I just suck it up and get an x-pro1 or x-e2 instead? I'm just drawn to the very cheap used price right now - lol :-)
