My favourite camera bag for my Fuji X system currently is the Billingham Hadley small Black/Tan. I only recently acquired it and tested in on both a 2 day city trip to Paris and a 5 day holiday inside the Alsace region of France. So far i am very satisfied with this bag as it is able to carry all the Fuji gear i currently need to walk around. The gear which it carry's for me is the following; - Fuji X-T1 Graphite body with any of the 3 lenses i have mounted depending on the situation. - Fujinon XF 14mm lens - Fujinon XF 23mm lens - Fujinon XF 55-200mm lens - Fuji Remote RR-90 - Manfrotto Pixi tripod - Extra 2 battery's - Extra SD-cards - Wallet, keys, pen, ... So conclusion, for being such a beautiful small bag it is super practical and can fit a bunch of equipment. Highly recommended.

I can see there are some gorgeous looking B&W photographs being posted here, and i would love to share some of my own. I will post them in a slightly smaller size to not fill up the whole page, but feel free to click on them to enjoy the full image quality and feel.

Hello Everyone, A small introduction ... I am a self-taught photography enthusiast from Belgium but living in Qatar, who started with the most basic Canon DSLR camera and upgraded my gear as my 'skill' started to improve. I started getting into photography somewhere in the end of 2012 and kept learning every day ... My interests in photography is quite a wide arrange of subject including Equine photography (mainly the Arabian Horse as this is part of my job), and beside this i just love to take photo's of landscapes, cityscapes, architecture, culture related photography, nature, wildlife and actually pretty much anything that grabs my attention. Some of my Arabian Horse photography got published in several brochures and web pages. My current gear setup is the following; Canon 5D Mark III + Canon 70-200mm F2.8II, for my horse and action photography. Fuji X-T1 Graphite + Fujinon 14mm + Fujinon 23mm + Fujinon 55-200mm, only acquired recently and am planning to use this as my main camera. I would like to invite you to have a look at my photography profile for which i have chosen Flickr as i think it looks very clean and is an easy way to organize and showcase your photography. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ziggywellens/albums A few examples for your enjoyment; Sunset in Cortona, Italy. by Ziggy Wellens, on Flickr Resting Barbary macaques by Ziggy Wellens, on Flickr Arabian Foal by Ziggy Wellens, on Flickr
