Well done! Great set of images!

Some more shots from the beginning. Re-edited a while later since I beefed up my Photoshop skills earlier this year...

First shot in the series was what killed my 56 APD. Autofocus motor creeked and yelled throughout the session, and this shot was the final one before I decided something was seriously wrong... You can see the focus was missed, as turned out later were 98% of all shots from this session. I sent in the lens to Fuji and got it back a few weeks later. They changed out the autofocus motor, but problems were even worse after that. Sent it back a second time. They changed the whole optical assembly, and now it seems to have been fixed.

Hi all,
 
I got into the Fuji system after using a Micro-Four Thirds system for a while. For portraits, the sharpness, skin tone rendering and level of detail is incredible, certainly when adding flash...
 
Some of my more recent work, if admins approve, I'll keep this post updated as I process new shoots. Started doing portraiture in November only, so there will be some progression hopefully over time
 
Gear used up to today, together with generic speedlights and modifiers.

First post is my earliest work with the Fuji system. Three shoots I did in December.

Seriously how big are some people's hands? I'm 1m95 (6ft5 for those of you still using medieval measurements), and by all standards I have really big hands... And I've never had issues with any camera, not a DSLR, not a small Micro Four Thirds system. First of all, a camera should be held by the lens barrel. The back hand is for support, not the main grip... That's how it was tought for decades and this still applies today. That grip should be comfortable on any camera body, unless you are using large telephoto lenses and need extra support...
 
Also, how did everyone manage to hold a camera before the advent of the big DSLRs? Surely there were big people then too...
 
I use the X-T1 with the battery grip sometimes, and that's already a huge camera for my taste... Big hands or no big hands...

I've spent a few weeks travelling the Bosnian hinterlands. A fascinating place to be. Here are some pics I've took along the way. All were taken by the x100s system.

16, 23, 56. I do mostly portrait work.

I'm using the Godox system for manual grouped flashes and its fantastic. Very good value for money.

I could kill for the the 10-24 in f/2.8 version. 
 
…Oh, 300/2.8 and/or 200/1.4 are on top of my list, too
