7.5mm Lens images + Some thoughts about travel photography

Recommended Posts

I bought a 7Artisans 7.5mm f2.8 fish-eye lens for my xt20. This lens usually produces grotesque images. Occasionally, it will offer a glimpse into a surreal world of photography unlike anything I've ever experienced. I can't put my finger on it but I'd say the lens forces you to connect small things to a larger scene, and this gives you room to PACK the image with information and context.

Here's what I mean:

18mm fujifilm lens. I feel like I can't get much more creative due to the constraints of this small space. It's a problem I face throughout my travel and street photography journeys. Let's try the 7.5mm:

 

Suddenly the space feels much larger, and this is where the interesting creative effect happens. What am I going to do with all this new space? And quite naturally, I put myself inside of it:

 

I can't figure out why this lens is so weird and yet so lovable. It's not a Professional lens, but it may be a secret weapon for people who just want to document their life or some events. The lens itself is TINY and CHEAP. I bring it with me everywhere. I recommend it to anyone who wants to challenge themselves.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
