Ditto Besides, I do photography for a living. My better half is my competitor. And she's a Nikon shooter. Why the hell would I ask for her approval?

Wut?! Once upon a time there was a fanboy post about XF 14mm titled "The best Leica lens Fuji ever made" or something like that… still true. Tack sharp, very clever construction (you don't have to worry about vignetting and internal reflections with filters), light and fast. Love this little gem. (X-T1, XF 14mm, 26 seconds from tripod; air temperature is around -22F)

Just fooling around with the 55-200

Three words: Rear curtain sync.

Finally, someone broke that stupid inverse square law and enlightened us with the magic formula!… PS: A lot of flashes, especially of old design, have their own light sensor and can do auto power. But I wouldn't call it "exposed correctly", not by 2015 standards.

Yes, it's a nice one (for some reason Fuji designed their cameras with Canon-compatible jack, yet keeps pushing RR-90; don't worry, anything with a thin Canon jack will work). Just order a bunch of replacement batteries right away (same site sells them real cheap) – it tends to eat them, at least one each month. Or simply store it empty.

I suggest a decent cable release. This one, for example, is the one I use. You don't exactly need it for exposures of up to 30 seconds, but for star trails and time lapse its great to have.

That's a classical case of "more money than sense" If you need a digital capture for the proofing of your 8x10" – just shoot the freakin' ground glass with any decent compact!

There's only one way to make a humanly affordable 6x7 digital camera: scanning sensor. And I seriously doubt that anyone would want to revert to that ancient technology in 2015.

Made this illustration just as a food for thought. Keep in mind that "medium format" nowadays means "anything bigger than 24x36 mm". PS: No, I'm not dreaming of DLF, that would cost like a private island.

We need a Dinosaur Club

Here's the thing. I've never seen a focus limiter on a wideangle lens, yet pretty much all of them nowadays are designed to be able to focus as close as physically possible (fisheye with a bokeh, anyone?). That means a lot of travel for AF system, so when a wideangle lens starts to hunt, it typically does so at a glacial pace. The wider, the slower. And that's why we need fast motors in these lenses.

I have both Match Technical and Lensmate thumb rests… Latter are much better designed, former are more solidly built from (arguably) better material. If you want a thumb grip, you're on the wrong path. You shouldn't be using the hot shoe as a fulcrum. That "thumbs up" gizmo really is a thumb rest, an index point to aid with the grip. Like when you're climbing a very steep hill, you may grab onto some grass; it won't even remotely support your weight, but might help with the posture and overall stabilization. Same here.

It's ongoing. See, there's two of you already!

Focus and concentration, and what was that other thing again?… Have a second look at the topic. You want to upgrade your X100T into X100S? Just break off a few parts like a PiP HVF element and a wireless module.

Makes you a vocal minority. Time to start rallying and marching to support uninterested.

"Street photography" is a popular name for the still image arthouse with all of the arthouse'ish consequences you could imagine – and then some.

They used to call it "Texas Leica" for a reason…

Z series. In zombie green.

It will come with graphene organic nanocrystal sensor that grows off the plant-based silicone backing. And that sensor will be a 16 megapixel X-Trans II array with the same DR and ISO range as all current cameras.

That's why they've stopped making bokeh monsters with 20+ aperture blades – why bother if most users shoot wide open anyway?…

A new camera from Fuji, eh? Who said it's a mirrorless? TLR? Dashcam! Webcam?… Light field camera? Panoramic camera! Monorail? Uh… A stereo camera? ???

Waitaminute. There's a huge market that Fuji haven't touched yet, so here it goes: Fuji phone!

"New Camera" must be the name of a punk rock band formed in Japan from Fujifilm employees (chief of camera division is a frontman). And they're about to release a debut album.
