The book went live just a few hours ago and we have already sold over 50! \u00a0Now that’s great, you write books and then hope they sell! \u00a0What interests me a lot more is will the book really help anybody. \u00a0I’ve had lots of nice comments over the years about books, but the comments about\u00a0this one are really special to me. \u00a0Why? \u00a0I poured my heart into this one. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Boy do you have a lot of questions! \u00a0Sorry, I said that, kind of a sloppy transition. \u00a0So here goes; \u00a0I love the Fujifilm X Series system. \u00a0When I came to the place, because of \u00a0shoulder surgery, that I simply could no longer deal with the weight of the DSLR system I was using, (full frame cameras and full frame lenses), and I found the Fujifilm X camera, the original X10. \u00a0I had been a \u00a0life long Nikon shooter, lived an breathed, even worked for them for the last 11 years of my working career.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So what was the result? \u00a0I started to enjoy being a photographer again, I started shooting the best stuff of my life, and I owe most of that to the engineers in Japan that designed those wonderful cameras and lenses!!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So……I just want to share that joy with anyone else that gets involved with this magical system. \u00a0So you\u00a0can imagine why it thrills me when my readers say\u00a0things like\u00a0th<\/span><\/strong>is;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Bill Fortney\u2019s Fuji Guide is the best book on the X-T2 and X-Pro2 I have ever seen.\u00a0\u00a0 For example, his step by step instructions for setting up a T2\/P2 are simple and educational, insuring one gets the most out of the cameras. That one chapter, to me, was worth the price of the book, multiplied by 10. I found one of his white balance \u201chints\u201d solved a problem for me that had plagued me for over a year – invaluable!”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
