  1. FW | Sweet 16

    2023-08-07 22:08:00 UTC

    I am traveling to Poland on Friday and I am really feeling the vision of my 16mm. I will need to travel light due to Ryanair 10KG weight restrictions. This means my X-T1 paired with the Fujicron 16mm F2 and my second body paired with the stunning 18-55mm F2.8-4. The…

  2. XF16mm | Field Test

    2023-08-05 16:00:09 UTC

    The XF16mm 1.4 is quiet simply magnificent. With a Full Frame field of view at 24mm, this Fuji equivalent renders a dynamic scene with full visual punch. Using a Lens with such a wide field of view is not easy. It requires a special vision for seeing the potential of…

  3. 16mm F2.8 | Little Fella - Big Punch

    2022-09-15 07:40:15 UTC

    My tiny 18mm F2 has stopped working - some connection error between the contact points on the Lens is no longer communicating with my Camera. I am no expert on such matters - never mind I have started using my Fujicron 16mm F2.8. This Lens is even smaller and yet,…

  4. 35mm CF | 14mm Epic Frame

    2022-08-09 15:46:10 UTC

    By now, you will know how much I love the Classic Frame of 35mm and its matching optics. The slightly Wider Frame of 28mm is my natural visual expression. 28mm & 35mm are very close to each other so my choice in using one over the other comes down to…

  5. Saving Daylight

    2021-11-14 21:59:39 UTC

    I am so glad I embraced creating images at night. When the clocks go back 1 hour, it will be late afternoon. Every year we have this. Daylight saving hours. To be honest, I don’t see the point. I find it very disruptive to my sleep pattern.This time of day…

  6. The Wider Frame

    2021-11-03 21:38:23 UTC

    35mm is the classic Frame. It set the standard for visual expression. The simplicity of this Frame created legends in this field. My three heroes were Gordon Parks, Henry Cartier Bresson and Joel Meyerowitz The classic frame would be used for many different visual expression. Specifically by the focal length…

  7. F22: Storytelling

    2021-10-20 15:11:21 UTC

    I chose this tiny Lens for one critical reason. F22. Yes, it’s a tiny Lens. It’s a Fujicron 16mm F2.8 - on my XE 3 it’s such a tiny package you would think it capable. I was seriously tempted with the XF16mm 1.4 but that Lens is huge and most…

  8. 2020 Vision | XF 16mm

    2020-11-12 14:15:07 UTC

    It was a tough choice. 1.4 or 2.8. It’s amazing how the size of a hole 🕳 in a metal tube can keep a person awake at night. On my X System, I knew the 16mm would be a stellar optics. I asked myself why do I need this Lens?…

  9. 2020 Vision | Epic Vision

    2020-09-24 18:33:44 UTC

    I really love the epic field of view that comes with a 24mm on a Full Frame. It feels epic and yet not overwhelmingly exaggerated. Foreground interest is a must; it sets the context for the storytelling composition. Here is my XPro2 paired with the stunning XF16mm F2.8. 16mm on…

  10. 2020 Vision | 16mm Vision

    2020-06-11 19:08:35 UTC

    Compared to the XF18mm, the extra 2mm isn’t much, but it has impact. These moments were perfect for the XF 16mm F2.8. I responded quickly. This Lens is perfect for quick moments, getting in close and shooting from the hip. I don’t like shooting from the hip but it’s a…

  11. 2020 Vision | 18 Going on 16

    2020-06-09 16:52:23 UTC

    How wide is wide? 14mm, 16mm or 18mm. That is a lot to choose from not to mention the terrific 10-24mm F4. As an XPro2 Shooter, I was enamoured with the 16mm 1.4. I felt I didn’t need it because of already owning the stellar 16-55mm. It’s tricky thing to…
