The point of my experiment was to see if I could still choose a single focal length lens that would work for a situation and find it was: \u00a0(1) the right lens, and (2) it did work for the intended purpose!?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For the first three days in the UP I used mostly the 23mm f 1.4 and f 2, the 50mm f 2 and at the 90mm f 2, and for close up work the 60mm f 2.4 Macro (All Fujinon lenses). \u00a0I found that these focal length worked great for everything but distance shots which required either a 18-135 or the 100-400. \u00a0I did not use any of those zoom lenses until the fourth day. \u00a0Below is what I produced with the single focal length lenses.<\/p>\n

Most of these images were made handheld, except the falls above, but the one below with the X-H1 was made at 1\/2 second!!!!!!! \u00a0Still am shocked myself.<\/p>\n

On the fourth day it became very windy and cold, and I switched to the 18-135 even for close up work. \u00a0Here are some of those images;<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong> \u00a0It is good to use single focal length lenses to keep your distance, framing muscle memory loosened up! \u00a0The single focal length are easier to carry and I think a \u00a0tad sharper, but then the images from the 18-135 and 100-400 were tack sharp so there was nothing to complain about there! \u00a0In the future and next week in Acadia National Park, I expect to continue to mix both single focal length lenses and zoom lenses as the conditions allow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One thing is for sure, Fujifilm is making some astounding glass and none of it let me down!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More to come…….<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blessings,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n the pilgrim<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The point of my experiment was to see if I could still choose a single focal length lens that would work for a situation and find it was: \u00a0(1) the right lens, and (2) it did work for the intended purpose!?
