Fujifilm XF16mmF2.8 – Preview

I love it when the right kind of mail arrives at my doorstep. Not the usual sort from the water company, phone company or the parole board…But the kind that a man in a hi-vis vest delivers. With a smile and a tip of his hi-vis cap, he delivers the good stuff. And, added to…

Melbourne Street Walk with the crew from Fuji X Aus

As many regular readers will know, I love my home city of Melbourne. I promote it’s greatness as often as I can on Facebook and of course here with you. I don’t get into the city itself as much as I once used to. But when I do go into town, it is usually to…

Playing with the Laowa 9mm and the Fujifilm X-T3

I was fortunate enough to come across a loan copy of the Laowa 9mm F2.8 ZERO-D lens with the Fujifilm X mount. Laowa also make this available for other camera mounts. It is a crazy wide angle lense with 113 degree field of view. If you are not careful you will include your feet in…
