Fuji XF 35mm f1.4 vs 35mm f2 – The Bokeh Test

There's still some confusion for photographers that are looking to buy one of these 35mm lenses from Fujifilm. On paper, just based on the specs the f1.4 version seems like it would be the clear winner. But specs aren't everything. I hope this video gives you the kind of information you need to help you decide which lens would be best for you.Here are low res versions of the photos in the video. … [Read more...]

Stylish Alternative Lens Hood for the Fuji XF 35mm f2 – LH-XF35-2

Stylish Alternative Lens Hood for the Fuji XF 35mm f2 – LH-XF35-2

This is a VERY COOL alternative lens hood from Fujifilm for their XF 35mm f2 lens. Strong metal build quality, and I've always really appreciated this style of lens hood. It has the same vented design like the one Fuji makes for it's X100 series.I got mine on Amazon from a seller who sells them for $69.99 but they are usually out of stock. I had to just keep checking back until I saw they had a … [Read more...]

Fuji MCEX-11 Macro Extension Tube

Fuji MCEX-11 Macro Extension Tube

I bought the Fuji XF 56mm f1.2 lens a little while ago primarily to do portraiture and boudoir work. It's a beautiful lens that can produce some pretty amazing shots.The minimum focal distance for this lens is somewhere around 2.3 feet and one thing that I kind wished I could do with this lens is get a bit closer to the subject sometimes. I decided to try the MCEX-11 with that lens to see if that … [Read more...]

Fuji XF 35mm f1.4 vs XF 35mm f2

Fuji XF 35mm f1.4 vs XF 35mm f2

These are my thoughts on the differences between these two lenses. Hopefully this might help you if you're looking to buy a 35mm lens but not sure which one to get.Of course everybody is different. I'd really recommend that you try out both lenses for yourself. I think that shooting for just a few minutes with each lens will help you decide.I wrote a couple posts on these lenses. This first link … [Read more...]

Fuji X-T1 and the XF 35mm f2 for Event Photography

Fuji X-T1 and the XF 35mm f2 for Event Photography

Took my Fujifilm X-T1 and the Fujinon XF 35mm f2 R WR to get some shots of my nephew's birthday party at Chucky Cheese's. I was pretty happy with the results so just wanted to share. This setup really allowed me to get in and capture the kind of moments I was hoping to get. The camera and lens combination gave me a small, non-intrusive way to get close enough and get all the shots I wanted without … [Read more...]

Birthday Time!

January 4, 2016 By Ted

Birthday Time!

My nephew, one of my favorite people just turned 7 and celebrated with a few friends at Chucky Cheese. Man, what a great place! (I'd never been there before)It was great covering the event with the Fujifilm X-T1, and the only lens I used was the XF 35mm f2 for the whole day. While I was shooting, it did feel a bit tight using a 50mm (equiv) focal length, but when I got home and saw the photos I … [Read more...]
