  1. Hi eveybody! As a person who loves and enjoys photographing - work or no work - I do have to find myself a bit irritated, how much time people spend in arguing around about anything which gives what ever possibility to talk or write or guess around ....?? What ever Fuji up to now has delivered is quite perfect (in this category of tools - we are not talking about MF or FF or whatever else with what ever else corresponding criterias!!) and is originally made to photograph - not to elaborate and talk about utopia comparisons and alternative whishes for christmas. Photographing means "draw with light" ("photos" and "graphein") but not mostly searching opinions based on endless tests and criteria-hopping and technological and intellectual knowledge-posing. As far as I am concerned, I think beside all that technical and "numbers and figures-stuff" we all in this forum should start to focus here as well (... especially here) far more on the "real thing": photographing with Fujis brilliant cameras! I have the feeling, that the majority of the members is debating far more about reasons and perspectives of their GAS than about taking pictures and enoying and learning the light. All these so hypercratic discussed focal-legths and f-stops and and and ... make only very little differences in my photographing-experience: 56 vs. 90 ... super-bokeh vs super duper-bokeh ... 35/1.4 vs 35/2 ... 16-55 vs 18-55 ... and so on. Ok - there are differences in divers parameters, but the heck not by any means relevant for such endless argumentations. 56 vs 90 for example is in many situations just two steps..... Is there really such difference between 90/2 and 90/2.8 (50-140/2.8) and is that really such a relevant criterium for this or that picture .... and for most of us?? From my point of view there are far mor other criterias, which are by far more important: the light, the distance to the "object", the perspective (from above, horizontal, frontal, sideward, from the back ....), the posture of the model, and and and. 2.0 vs. 2.8 is there - Yes, but ..... :-)) So - back to work for today ... it´s not even midday here and these are just my two cents "into the blogging fuji-world": Don't loose real lives beauty and go for it and make Yourself and others happy with Your personal Art of Light: Have sex or a good whiskey, but don't talk and think to much about and compare sexfilms and whiskey labels ....... :-))) !! Have a nice and happy day all Wolffbastien
  2. Hallo Everybody! As long as I follow these kind of discussions, as far out of the most important questions about taking a picture ist seems to seduct. Clearly any focal length has its own, BUT how to use it under which conditions and circumstances AND what should be told or explained with the picture to be made, THESE are at least for me the by far more interesting questions for my personal (and most) photographic goals. Secondly and for my perspective as important as the above is, to really proof Yourself - BEFORE You start "shooting" - which is YOUR OWN inner approach to Your motive and are You shure and honest with the way to go and as well Your REAL capability to handle this particular focal length properly, not to "zoom and fool arround". If these aspects are not of any interest, I doubt she or he will feel a real difference between a zoom and a prime and a 23 or 27 or a 35. This does not mean, there won't be taken good pictures by those photographing people, but my quite long experience with myself, my rather often quite shaky learning-curve and the people I teach once in a while, showed me more often than not: one good lens and two good hearted eys are by far better and more important for taking really good pictures than two or even more lenses and two or "even more blind eyes". A good picture of what or whom or where ever one can only "smell", "feel", "sense" or however one will call that - and it will be mostly generated inside Yourself. The camera and lens "just do the job then". So in my opinion one should let your inner eye tell You THE LENS and maybe one for the contrast scenarios .... and that´s it. .... and in our times, especially with nowadays FUJI the quality of lenses is out of discussion - the quality of taken pictures not at all .... and the digital age has not improved that a single millimeter ...... Apart from that I myself do love the digital cameras I used (Nikon, Canon, Hasselblad, Mamiya-Leaf and Fuji) but far more important was how close I could come to my lens to frame my subject/object properly for my goal - not if to take it with a Leica or a Hasselblad (the question of MF vs. FX vs. APS-C is here not to be addressed) So I´d like to state: We all have to get our "inner eye" honestly close an "in artistic love" at least to ONE prime lens before we even think and experiment to much around with anything more - if not so, the quality of our work and/or joy won't develop anyhow! Loving Fuji, the lenses, the sensor, the colors, the size, the weight and the fun, joy and perfection I feel with these great tools !! Good Night Wolfbastien attached a pic (with just the banal 35/1.4 sooc on a sunday afternoon - just so .... and of course a bit cropped to square )
