There is always a soft spot for the X100 in my heart.

Since I first purchased my X-Series camera, starting with the X100 it has always been my EDC camera. I immediately purchased the TCL tele and the WCL wide angle converters. It instantly became an all around multi purpose camera system with an equivalent full-frame focal length of 28mm with the WCL, 35mm with the native fixed lens, and a 50mm with the TCL. I loved this system and I carry it everywhere with me. But one thing plagued the X100 series from the first gen original to the X100S, even to the X100T. And what was once a love affair with the X-Series could turn to a love-hate relationship (as the likes of Zack Arias could attest to). And though the X100T has provided some improvements in autofocus, it is still not on par with its bigger brother, the X-Pro2. However, with the introduction of the latest incarnation in the X100 series, the popular X100F, things were about to change.

I immediately pre-ordered the X100F along with the WCL-X100 Mark II and the TCL-X100 Mark II. And not surprisingly, the converter lens came first before the camera. But here's what's cool when I finally got to use them on the camera: Not only does this latest tele/wide angle converters allow for the X100F camera to instantly recognize them when they are mounted with the use of magnets (clever, Fuji...just clever!), the X100F itself also offers digital tele-conversion.

(Side note: This use of magnet to recognize the conversion lenses is so brilliant as it lets the photographer - that's you and me - to focus on shooting the image instead of fiddling with menus...just screw it on and shoot!)

So what is so awesomely new about the X100F and the Mark II tele/wide converters? Well it now allows this nifty EDC camera to have a range of 28mm, 35mm, 41mm, 50mm, 58mm, 70mm, and 100mm! (All 35 mm equivalent). All of that at about 800g (469 g for the X100F, 180 for the TCL-II, and 150 for the WCL-II). That, my Dear Friends, is fracking genius!

So that's the story on one corner.

What about the opposite corner?

Well, on the other corner is the big brother of the X-Series line, the X-Pro2. Many of you are familiar with the "holy trinity" of the "Fujicron F2" lenses that were introduced recently: Fujinon XF23mm F2 R WR, Fujinon XF35mm F2 R WR, and was finally complete with the introduction of the Fujinon XF50mm F2 R WR. Now don't get me wrong, one of my all time favorite Fujinon lenses is the XF35mm 1.4 R - that thing has got some legendary mojo of its own. But quiet frankly, the focusing speed on the XF 35mm 1.4 R is really showing its age when used with the X-T2 or the X-Pro2. So the introduction of the XF35mm F2 really brings autofocusing speed to match with the more recent endowment of technology magic in the more recent bodies.

I still love the X-Pro2 as much as I love the X100F. The X-Pro2 is a beast in its own right and it is one of the best mirrorless systems out in the market today that sports a pseudo-rangefinder look. Plus, it is still the only interchangeable mirrorless body that is blessed with an OVF/EVF combo - a unique Fujifilm trademark. It's great to use and super responsive - especially with the addition of the latest version 3.0 firmware. But frankly, I just can't have my X-Pro2 as my every day carry. The total weight of the X-Pro2 body and the 3 "Fujicrons" is close to 1 kg (1000 g).

Which of the 2 systems do I choose?

Well, that's like asking me to choose between 2 children. I love them both equally! :) I guess it depends on the occasion and on the purpose of my photography for that day - if I'm simply going about the town and wanted a more lightweight system, I would grab my X100F and the conversion lenses so that I can carry it all day without busting my back. I seriously can't think of any photography that I would be doing when just simply walking about which cannot be achieved through the expansive 28mm-100mm equivalency coverage using this system. But if I'm doing something purposeful like a photographic assignment, then I would most likely reach out to the X-Pro2 with the "Fujicron" Trinity. There is just something that is special and purposeful when shooting with prime lenses. Oh...there is one other important thing: the X-Pro2 and the "Fujicron" Trinity combo is weather-proof, which does give that extra peace of mind when shooting in an environment where inclement weather might be a problem - places such as the rain-ridden city of Seattle in Washington or exploring waterfalls of Costa Rica.

Then again - I sometimes cheat. Just like real life children, they both would beg for my attention! So instead of having them bicker and argue, I would grab the X100F to capture images requiring the wider 35mm equivalent view and the X-Pro2 with the XF35mm F2 and the XF50mm F2 if I need to go tighter with my shots.

The good news: either way I choose, I would still get that excellent Fujifilm look coming from the same 24 megapixel X-Trans sensor.

Now it's your turn: Which one would you choose?

Two words that sounds so ever sweet which cometh from the engineering gods of Mt. Fujifilm. Many have spoken of these divine gifts and swore of a new camera that they bestowed.

On the outside it is the same skin, but underneath it is a renewed soul.

I guess there is something about choices than can be liberating, too.
Just the fact that there are options in front of us allows us to explore different things.
And as far as accessory choices for my X100F, I have always opted a lens hood to protect the lens from being damaged.
Recently, I have been introduced to the Haoge products...

and I am loving the choices that I have to change the way my X100F looks at any given day.

Which one do you prefer?

There's only one solo ingredient that can make a classic what it is - the test of time.
And just like the all-American Filson brand (est. 1897), Fujifilm's X100's design has indeed survived past through the test of time.

Those of us who were smitten by its purity most surely remembers the day we first lay our eyes on such a beauty. For me, it was during the WPPI show in Las Vegas in 2011, right after Valentine's Day in a crowded MGM show room in February.

And it was love at first sight.

I flirted with purchasing it for a few more months after that, but deep down in my heart I knew...it was not a matter of "if" but of "when." The manual controls and dials of what Photo District News called "traditional style compact camera" really reached deep into my retrolicious nostalgia of when I first began learning photography using a Pentax 35mm camera.

So here we are...a half decade and one year later.
Nothing seems to have changed much on the outside, but on the inside it is a whole new camera. Slightly bigger to accommodate the same battery used in his older siblings, but the feel...and how it fits in the hand...is just as familiar as the very first X100 that I picked up years ago.

Classics.

Why change a good thing when it's been going so good.

Kudos to Fujifilm for keeping the changes to the outside to an absolute minimum.

X100F.

A classic refined.

Unboxing of the recently released Fujifilm X-T2 - it feels like Christmas came early this year. :)

Be. Mine.

This Christmas I gave you my heart.

All things Fujifilm harkens to the vintage part of my soul. But I can probably say, the X-T2 is quite possibly a beast in sheep's clothing...in a positively good way, of course. Its vintage good looks is deceiving, because underneath that gorgeous *retroliciousness* are some of the most extraordinary technical prowess that ever came across the mirrorless realm. Blessed by none other than the engineering guardians of Mt. Fujifilm.

My soul is entrapped.
It's beckoning.

Drawing me to unleash it's beastly X-Trans hunger to gobble up digital pixels from the physical realm.

There is something about the X-Pro2 that is beautiful to the sight - magnificent in its monochromatic simplicity, much like a delicately shaped lips of a woman...unblemished, untainted by paint...natural and naked...irresistible and inviting.

Maybe some things are just meant to behold, and to be held close.

Yosemite.

Every time I hear, read, glimpse, view, see, feel, or breathe the essence of the word "Yosemite," I come alive. I guess I should say that I am fortunate to be living within a relatively short driving distance away from this magical place. So naturally, when the X-T1 came knocking at my door [well, actually it was dropped off by the guy in brown at a local UPS store] my first thought to test out this bad boy was a weekend at Yosemite.

So off the three of us went: the X-T1 with its new mate, the SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-II SD, and I. It was a honeymoon of sorts...but not one second during the whole trip did I feel like I was a third wheel. In fact, it was the opposite...I felt quite at home with the two. ;)

There is already quite a bit written about the technical awesomeness of this new Fujifilm arrival, and frankly, by more technically qualified reviewers than me. In this post, I will share some of my deeper "first impressions" of the X-T1 more from a user perspective. So it is more of a behavioral review rather than that of the specs. And more of a personal narrative than anything.

The Journey.

The forecast told me that it was going to snow last weekend. So I prepared accordingly, but the X-T1 remained "naked." After all, the engineering gods mentioned that this was their first venture into the freeze-proof, water-proof, shock-proof mirrorless world. And I thought that it was appropriate to take the X-T1 as is...I, on the other hand, prepared for several layers of clothing. Consciously, however, I did realize that my X-T1 would be a bit vulnerable as Fuji has yet to release their similarly x-proof lenses ("x" being the elements). Nonetheless, I decided to bring the usual "prime" suspects: the 35mm, 23mm, 14mm, and the "kit" 18-55mm, into the cold, dark, snowy and wet enchantment that is Yosemite National Park.

I managed to capture the aftermath of the short but crazy storm on the way up. The X-T1 performed beautifully in the dark and focus was fast and crisp, even in the midst of a difficult operation - shooting with one hand while managing a sliding 4-wheel-drive Toyota FJ that I was riding.

The.Way.There.

The Morning After.

The snow storm left - it seems - as fast as it had arrived and was primarily hitting the upper mountain regions. By the time I checked in to the cabin at the Yosemite Lodge down in the valley, the snow had become rain as temperatures were several degrees warmer above freezing. But the rain persists and would continue to do so throughout the night into the next morning.

I did manage to capture this image of the “cabin” room close to midnight using the 18-55mm "kit" lens, which performed beautifully even in the rain. Again, in low light conditions the X-T1’s focusing performance was flawless, especially when the focus points was placed in one of the 16 phase-detect sensors.

The. Cabin.

The Hike Around The Valley.

The mountain breeze must have awaken me, because though tired that I was from the long drive, I ended up being wide awake slightly before 6 a.m. I thought to myself that I might as well get up and start walking around the valley floor. I may even get a glimpse of sunrise, but alas, it was wet and gray outside. Instead of doing a major hike, I ended up going to the meadows and found myself in awe of the wondrous early morning fog of Yosemite. It was quite and serene.

One.With.The.Fog.

Taken with: Fujifilm X-T1 | Fujinon 14mm 2.8R

By mid-morning, the Sun has finally broken through the clouds. The freshly fallen snow started to melt and make its way to join the rain. Yosemite Falls was flowing at full speed – a somewhat less than usual event that would happen in February. So I decided to head out there with the X-T1 and do a quick hike to the Lower Yosemite Falls before lunch time. It was during this hike that I began to really observe the ergonomics of the X-T1. It was somewhat different with my X-Pro1 or X-E1 because the X-T1 now has a dedicated ISO button.

This is both a blessing and a curse…well, maybe not so much of a curse – but it’s certainly different than what I was previously used to. Previously on the “rangefinder-styled” X-cousins I would simply use my right index finger to press the Fn button next to the camera trigger and use my thumb to change the value when I finally accessed the ISO menu. I can usually do this while I still my eyes pressed against the viewfinder – composing the shot. With the X-T1, however, I have to pull my eyes from the camera and utilize both hands to change the ISO: the left hand to hold the camera, and the right hand and it’s thumb and middle finger to turn the ISO know, while the index finger presses on the lock button to release it. Not a big deal. But definitely something for me to get used to and by the end of the trip, frankly, I was.

Here’s an image of the Lower Yosemite Falls.

I also experienced what others already called out in the blogosphere. The "arrow buttons" on the back of the X-T1 seemed less tactile than that of my X-Pro1 or X-E1. It took a bit getting used to, especially when one wears gloves. I suppose Fuji wanted these buttons to be less prone to accidental trigger and may have listened to other photographers that wanted it so. It wasn't a deal breaker, though, and by the end of the hike I was already getting used to being a bit more conscious when pressing the buttons.

During this hike across the Yosemite Valley, I found that the X-T1 to be too “short” for my medium sized hands. Let me explain. Both my X-Pro1 and X-E1 are fitted with Gariz’ leather case. These cases have a sturdy metal bottom that adds about ¼ of an inch to the bottom of it. As such, when shooting with them, both my “pinky” and ring fingers would have a comfortable place to rest on. With the X-T1 shorter height, however, both of these fingers didn’t have a place to rest upon.

So, one thing is clear for me…I need to get a grip. ;)

The vertical grip, that is. Hence the title of this blog post. ;)

Until next time, here's one last shot taken later in the afternoon when Lady Sun was kind enough to shine her light upon the valley. Happy Shooting!

UPDATE I: I will update on a subsequent post on a couple other features that I like on the X-T1 and also how the continuous shooting on the X-T1 performed...especially with the SanDisk UHS-II card.

UPDATE II: I got the vertical grip preordered from Amazon. Looks like they started shipping last week, so I should be getting mine shortly. :)

It's finally here!

I haven't been this excited for the release of a Fujifilm product since the launch of the X-Pro1. The gods at Mt. Fujifilm have finally heard our prayers and lo and behold...the long awaited cousin to the X-Brotherhood that is X-T1 has finally arrived to usher in the next generation (or evolution) of the X-series. And I was ecstatic to find that this beast of a photographic machine is the first in the market that supports the UHS-II memory card.

So when SanDisk's latest Extreme Pro UHS-II SDHC Memory Card arrived this week, I couldn't help but mate the two together straight away and took a few shots to see what this combo can do. The result?

Oh...Em...Gee.
I was just blown away.

With the X-T1 set at CH mode, these two worked so well together that I could hardly tell that there exist a buffer at all! Kudos to Fujifilm once again for continuing to have the foresight to support a next generation memory card format that actually makes sense! (Ehem, Nikon and XQD?)

X-T1 + SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-II = A Match Made in Heaven.

And I am a happy camper. ;)

UPDATE: Headed to Yosemite National Park this weekend to take this combo through its paces. Images coming soon. Happy shooting, everyone! :)

Does lightning strike twice in the same place?

Apparently for the wielder of the lighting rods from Mt. Fuji, it does. The engineering-gods from the mountain-that-dared-to-stand-against-the-legend-that-is-Leica has indeed delivered [three.point.oh.one] version of their firmware for the X-Pro1. This new fix was done and delivered in record time to solve the supposed video function issue in some downloads, which I didn't experience upon upgrading my X-Pro1 to [three.point.oh].

The lightning rod that was firmware upgrade does strike twice in the same week, I suppose. And as an end user and a consumer of the Fujifilm X-system, I'd like to say:

Camera makers around the world...take notice: This kind of focus and response to customer satisfaction is how loyal subjects were made! B-) I, for one, am an "X-Transformed.Believer.For.Life!" ;-)

Here are some snaps taken with the X-Pro1 of the Trans America Tower here in San Francisco Bay. All shots used the ever-so-awesome Fujinon 14mm 2.0R - a perfect lens for landscape, architecture and urban photography, IMHO.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and here's to an awesome week ahead!

It’s exciting here in the world of X-Trans!

The engineering-gods at Mt.Fuji delivered the enviable focus-peaking to the X-Pro1 and X-E1, a feature that, alas, the lesser-geeks at Mt. Olympus decided to slumber over on the OM-D! And as if it weren’t enough salt to the injury, the Mt. Fuji miracle workers delivered it via a lightning rod that was "firmware upgrade." Sweet! Naturally, I downloaded and upgraded as soon as it was available. Version three-point-oh, baby!

A couple of weekends ago, I also had the privilege to pick up my "new" used car from the Land of OC…a black beast known as the 2007 FJ Cruiser TRD. I have been looking for such a beast for three years now to replace my aging Jeep Wrangler, currently with a need of a new transmission, and my mechanic friend finally delivered. The FJ is a rare black-on-black “Toyota Racing Development” special edition with a 6-speed transmission and blacked out bumper and rear view mirrors.

So, naturally I decided to take my X-Trans cameras along with the FJ for a “rite-of-passage” road trip of sorts East towards Joshua Tree. It was one epic ride, if I may say so myself! And there is no better back drop than the desert-y landscape of Joshua Tree National Park. Here’s one for you, Bono! Below are some of the shots that I ended up converting to desktop wallpapers, taken with the X100S except for images 3 and 6 which were taken using the X-Pro1 | 14mm combo.

I'm planning my next excursion to take the X-Trans badboys for another ride with the FJ and try out the focus peaking. X-Pro1 / X-E1 shots coming up! Stay tuned.

I don't drink much...alcohol, that is. But once in a blue moon, I do enjoy a few sip of sweet wine. That day was one such day. We took a drive across the Bay and into the world famous Napa Valley. We didn't stop to very many wineries, but the one we did stop at that left quite a bit of an impression on me was the V. Sattui Winery.

Here are some snaps of the 100+ year old wineries where the infamous Madera is made.

Have an awesome week, and Happy Shooting! B-)
