My Perfect travel kit:  Which I will put my money where my mouth is as I'm going on a 10-day stock/personal/travel shoot:

 

X-T1

Zeiss 12mm 2.8

18-55 zoom

23mm 1.4

35mm 1.4

55-200 (an amazingly sharp lens)

 

6 batteries + three chargers

302G worth of 16 & 32G SD Cards

Filters and step up rings to 77mm for each lens.

 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Hello guys,

 

I'm a travel/landscape/portrait photographer, so let me share with you my experience, so far, with the lens I own.

 

My kit (at this moment of time):

 

Fuji X-T1

12mm f2.0 by Samyang/Rokinon (great for astrophotography)

35 mm f1.4

56 mm f1.2

18-55 mm zoom lens (for lasy moments/walks)

 

So far i love this combination, I still missing a telephoto lens, but for now it's still a fight in my head between  55-200, 50-140 and 90 mm.

 

I was thinking to change the 35mm with the 24mm, but I just love that lens. Every time when I return to it, I got that cosy feeling inside :)

 

I like using the 56 for portraits.

 

I'm amased how often I found myself picking the Samyang 12mm.  I love shooting envoirmental portraits in tight places with it, and ofcourse astrophotography

 

Blessings!

Frishu

I just saw this, sorry I did not post before you went to Barcelona, although no harm no foul, the little girl statue is in London not Barcelona :) its just in front of the gherkin on St Mary Axe London.

I hope you did not spend a lot of time looking for it.

Oh!! But the building looks just like the one in Barcelona. Good thing I didn't have time to go hunting for the statue, hehe. Thanks anyway!! The trip was excellent, by the way. Posting images on my Flickr as I get them ready. You are welcome to take a look.

      Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
