Hi everybody

Hi there...

 

I've been taking photos as a amateur since my 12 years of age. I'm 50 now, time really flies.

 

I started with small all plastic rectangular pocketable kodak camera that used 110C film.

 

Many years later I had my first reflex camera, a Minolta X9. It was a semi automatic camera and it was my best learning tool.

 

Forward almost 10 years I sold my Minolta and bought a Canon EOS 50E. A great jump in hardware, I must admit. Lightning speed focus (my first time with a autofocus body) and with eye control. I think I made over 10K of photos with this camera.

 

When digital photography was already at cruise speed I moved to a Nikon D80. A very robust and reliable camera that I used a lot and helped me learn about the world of digital photos.

 

However I started to get fed up of carrying a DSLR, lenses and flash around in a not so small bag, so I started looking to the mirrorless world.

 

I was tempted by Olympus but I wanted to stay with a APS-C sensor and so, two years ago, I bought a second hand Fuji X-E1 in mint condition with it's excellent f/2.8 kit lens.

 

I just loved the definition, clarity and colors of the Fuji right from day one.

 

Since then I bought a hand grip and, more recently, my first Fuji prime, the XF 23mm f/2 WR, though I'm still waiting for better weather to use it more, just took some "test" photos.

 

I'm looking forward to learn and share experiences with you.

 

Cheers

 

 

 

ps: please apologize my english, it's not my native language.

Everyone will speak English well soon enough!

 

Just so you know, the Fujifilm image quality is addictive. This means that you will still be emotionally attached to every piece of Fuji gear that took one or more good picture in 20 years, so be careful how fast you add more stuff.
