Shinjuku Station HDR
Not a fan of HDR, but just wanted to show what the sensor of the X-T2 allows you to do with only ONE shot: the dynamic range is high enough to push the dark without much noice increase (unlike on my 5Dmk3).

XF 55-200mm
Handheld shots at 1/15s with the Fujifilm XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS. I have read lots of good things about this “cheap” zoom and it performs indeed well. The image stabilization is good, really good, even better than the Canon 100-400mm I used to have. With the Fuji I can still get sharp shots…
Traffic Lights
As mentioned earlier, playing with the focus ring of the little Zeiss Biogon is a treat, and here a defocused road while waiting at a traffic light in Tokyo.
The focus ring of the Zeiss Biogon 35mm is such a pleasure to use that I often play with it.
Biogon Bokeh
Love how the little Zeiss Biogon (35mm) blurs the background at large aperture.
Station Agent
The 56mm/f1.2 APD is now always on my X-T2. Station Agent is also the first movie I saw with Peter Dinklage, years before Games of Thrones: IMDB.
Biogon at Night
Trying the little 35mm Zeiss Biogon on the Fuji X-T2, this time at night a few steps away from home in Kagurazaka. No post-processing (red filter aside): love the result.
Salaryman Photobomb
Had nailed the perfect shot when this grumpy guy (at the bottom) decided he couldn’t wait 3s… :(
XF 23mm f2
Latest addition to my Fuji XF lens collection: 23mm f2 (35mm equiv.). This thing is light, sharp and focuses very fast. Love it. I have always preferred a 35mm as a walk around lens and this one nicely replaces the Sigma ART I had on my 5Dmk3. Now, if only Fuji could start producing VERY…
Boarding Train
Very happy with the bokeh and colors of the XF-35mm f/2. Much lighter than the f/1.4 and focuses so much faster. You too, make the switch!
XF 90mm and Dust
I returned the first Fuji XF 90mm lens I ordered because it had dust inside right out of the box. The replacement was clean but look what has happened after 3 months: specks of dust all over – I counted around 20. I am aware this does not affect image quality but for a weather…
X-T2 Limit
Pushing the little Fuji X-T2 to its limits at night: boost mode with 14fps, AF in face tracking mode, minimum shutter speed of 1/200s and very high ISO. The results are impressive, don’t you think?
