Fujifilm XF 90mm Preview

I've been playing with the new Fujifilm XF 90mm lens for a few days, and while I plan to write a complete review very soon, this lens has blown me away so much, I wanted to share one photo first. I casually took this photo of a friend of mine, and, man, this lens is sharp. I'll be putting it through it's paces over the coming days, shooting a couple of corporate events, some portrait sessions and even a wedding over the weekend, and I'll have my complete take on it next week.

Capturing the "Snowpocalypse" with the Fuji X100

Monday's blizzard was supposed to be an historic event, according to New York City's Mayor De Blasio. While the snowfall didn't set any records, there was quite a bit of wintry weather through the evening. With a travel ban issued across the city, the streets were mostly free of cars, so I set out with my Fuji X100 (in a ziplock bag) to explore the neighborhood.

Preview: First Photoshoot with the Fuji X-T1

Yesterday, I had my first photoshoot with the Fuji X-T1, which I am evaluating over the next week. I hit the streets of Williamsburg with my friend, Rebecca, and even took some shots in my loft. So far, I've really been enjoying shooting with the camera, and the quality is just stunning.

Even though I've been a Canon shooter for more than a decade, over the past couple of years I've become increasingly interested in what Fuji is offering serious photographers. I've had the quirky X100 since 2011, and it's been my favorite camera I've ever owned. The compact retro design of the X-series cameras with the incredible low-light capabilities of the sensors and a growing batch of quality lenses, make these cameras a compelling alternative to the Canon/Nikon dominance of the photography world.

I've been eager to try other cameras in the X-Series, and with an assignment coming up at the end of this week, I decided to rent the Fuji XPro-1 with the XF 35mm 1.4 lens. I'll be testing it out over the next several days, and I'll post a more complete review later, but here are a few sample images from my first couple of days with the camera.
