Every now and then, a lens maker delivers a “halo” project that in many ways is as much about showcasing engineering expertise as it is about delivering a practical product to the end-user. Car makers do the same, and those halo cars are almost never high volume models, but they bring attention to the brand [&h [Read more...]
I’ve been working over the past few years to get up to speed with Fuji’s ecosystem, as I had next to no experience with the platform when Fujifilm Canada approached me with the idea of starting to review Fuji gear. Over the past few years I’ve reviewed four different cameras and roughly a dozen lenses, [& [Read more...]
There is an ongoing debate as to whether Fujifilm’s choice to focus on APS-C is the right one. I’ve engaged in that debate myself, but I think that lenses like the Fujinon XF 23mm F2 R WR represent the most compelling argument for their choice. Their F2 (and F2.8 options like the 16mm) are compact, [&hell [Read more...]
One of the unique strengths of the Fuji ecosystem is the wide range of lenses of varying quality and price points specifically designed around the APS-C sensor (in this case a 1.5x crop factor compared to 35mm/full frame). Fuji’s APS-C-centric focus has allowed them to both maximize the potential of an APS-C sensor and a [Read more...]

When I finished up reviewing the Fujifilm X-T3 in late 2018 (my first Fuji review), I praised it as the most well-rounded APS-C camera I had used. Its amazing burst rate, excellent tracking abilities (with the right lens!), and solid sensor performance really set it apart for me. I longed for the inclusion of in-body [Read more...]
Fuji shooters have had a binary choice between two standard zooms – the XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 OIS (my review here) and the XF 16-55mm F2.8 (my review here). One offered image stabilization, the other offered a weather-sealed build and larger maximum aperture. But now there is a third choice – the Fujinon XF 1 [Read more...]
