Equipment

I've shot Canon cameras for years. With my enthusiasm waning, tired of lugging around a large DSLR and heavy lenses, I needed a change.

Mirrorless cameras are dominating camera sales. After reading countless camera reviews, watching YouTube videos, I purchase the APS-C format Fujifilm X-T3 camera and a few lenses.

Coming from a DSLR background, it took me a while to embrace the X-T3. Learning the new mirrorless system took time. Setting up the dials, button configuration, and ergonomics were a challenge.

The lighter setup renewed my enthusiasm for photography. Fuji listens to their customers, continue to improve with firmware updates, and new model releases.

Photography should be fun. I love shooting Fuji; they get what photographers want.

My Current Fuji Camera and Lenses

Fujifilm H2s

Balancing strong photo and video capabilities, the FUJIFILM X-H2S is a multimedia mirrorless camera featuring a newly developed X-Trans stacked sensor, refined AF and subject detection.

Fujifilm X-T4

The Fujifilm X-T4 is Fuji's flagship camera. It has a APS-C format 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor. This is a big upgrade from the X-T3. It features IBIS, an a flippy screen. 

Nikon 500mm PF

Taking exceptionally long reach and giving it a hand-holdable form factor, this 500mm utilizes a unique Phase Fresnel element to greatly reduce the size and weight compared to previous versions of the focal length.

200 mm F/2 R LM OIS WR

FUJIFILM XF 200mm f/2 R LM OIS WR is characterized by its sophisticated optical layout, fast performance, and apt image stabilization. My Favorite lens!

Fujifilm XF 50-140mm f/2.8  

The FUJIFILM XF 50-140mm f/2.8 /2.8 R LM OIS WR is a Fujifilm's Red Badge lenses. Red Badge series lenses are Fuji's best lenses. It's has a constant 2.8 aperture.

Fujifilm XF 90mm f/2

The FUJIFILM XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR is the sharpest mid-zoom prime that Fuji makes. It's my favorite lens for concert photography. The lens also focuses close, which makes it great for creating beautiful macros.

Fujifilm XF 50mm f/2

The FUJIFILM XF 50mm f/2 R WR is also one of the so-called Fujinon lenses. Its small, fast, weather-sealed, and has superior auto-focus. I use a lot for indoor sports and tighter landscapes.

Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2

The FUJIFILM XF 35mm f/2 R WR is one of the so-called Fujinon lenses. Its small, fast, and is weather sealed—one of my favorite lenses. I'll probably sell this lens since I purchased the 100v camera.

Fujifilm XF 16mm f/1.4

The 16mm 1.4 is a wide-angle prime lens. Its fast f/1.4 maximum aperture affords increased control over depth of field and benefits working in low-light conditions. It's a lens that I don't use as much as I should. For me, it's more of a specialty lens.
