Several years ago, I bought my first Fuji camera, an X10. \u00a0I got such amazing images from this $699. camera. \u00a0When Fuji came out with the X-E1. \u00a0I purchased one and on a trip to Nashville shot the image above with the “kit” lens the 18-55 f 2.8-4. \u00a0When I blew it up to 3′ x 3′ (that is feet by feet). \u00a0The print was made by Stephen Hart of Jasper Imaging. \u00a0The acrylic face mount print allowed the file to be seen in all it’s glory! \u00a0To this day knowledgable photographers viewing the print, can’t believe it was not made by a medium format digital camera. \u00a0After many viewings myself, I came to the same conclusion, the 16 mega pixel X-Trans sensor is one of the most capable image makers I’ve ever used! \u00a0For me 16 mega pixels is more than enough!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As I began to acquire the Fuji XF lenses i released that Fuji was on to something very, very special, well made, metal lenses with aperture rings and sterling performance! \u00a0As the lens line started to round out, they did something else very special, a series of single focal length, speed lenses (f 1.2 to f 2). \u00a0Just like the early lenses, I found these to be among the best I’ve ever used.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fuji followed up with the X-T1 and all my needs were finally fulfilled! \u00a0How was I to know that one image made in 1:1 format with the X-E1 would lead to this.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I am flying up to Valhalla to Fuji’s corporate offices to do some video taping with them. This has turned into a great relationship!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
