Well, you have to forgive me some whimsy - I have finally reached one of the core cameras of the Fujifilm line and I am going to make the most of it.Actually, I have been making the most of it for some time - I own the first model of the X -100 series  cameras and have had several years to get used to it and make it do as I wanted. Since that first design there have been two later models released, and I am going compare the new one - the X-100T -  to the X-100.If it is just a matter of hefting them, I doubt I could tell them apart. There is a little different knurling on the focus ring and speed knob, and they've shuffled the buttons about, but the operation and feel is identical.You'll note that I have tricked out my X-100 with a cradle grip to match it to a tripod and a flash holder and have opted for a comfortable cloth neck strap, but that's just for my own convenience - the same...

The Fujifilm customer who has come in to get a small mirrorless camera may well find themselves looking at a general-purpose zoom lens to go with the X -series body. We think in these term: " I don't know what I will be taking, so I better get something that does everything...

Well, I'm on familiar ground with the Fujifilm X-T10 - I own one and I use it every week. Heres a black one - mine is silver. The aesthetics of the two choices is something you can go and debate at the camera club for yourselves - the nights are cold and you can generate a useful bit of warmth by yelling at each other. In my case I bought the silver one because I fancied it and because I reckon as I wear down the edges they wont look as scuffed as a black one would.You see, I am using the camera bare - no heavy aluminium Arca-Swiss cradle for this one and a rather elegant brown leather strap. And I mount a Fujinon 27mm f:2.8 lens on the front most of the time. The idea is to get the lightest and most capable rig around my neck while making me look like an innocuous tourist. Because tourists get away with it 99% of the time.I discovered this on a train to the show the other day. Two 40+...

This week I have brought home five Fujifilm products to photograph and analyse. some of them have been on the Fujifilm product list longer than others, but they all have a place for the modern photographer.Today's selection is the Fujifilm X-T1. It's one of the models that has no optical viewfinder, and can therefore have the viewing eyepiece in the centre of the camera - rather reminiscent of the old-fashioned DSLR. That configuration is further echoed by the way Fujifilm have disposed the controls, but apart from appearances it is the only retro thing about the camera.I selected the luxury model to photograph - Fujifilm refer to it as the Graphite Silver finish. You can get them in black finish as well, but the challenge of photographing this colour intrigued me. It was also difficult...
