Camellia gardens

It pays to network, I have to admit. I had a chat with a hair and makeup artist I worked with on a beauty shoot we did a couple of weeks ago, and we got on a topic of shooting locations. I am always on a lookout for those, as shooting at…

Disable Shutter Speed Dial on X-T2

I find it a little annoying that the shutter speed gets bumped almost every time I shoot. The back dial is so soft, that it's very easy to change the shutter speed without realising it. The main value is set on the top dial, which can be locked,…

Does the X-T2 need a touch screen?

I've seen comments on you tube complaining about the fact that the Fujifilm X-t2 has no touch screen. Some of these comments are very critical to the extent that people reject the camera outright because of lack of touch screen. I'm beginning…

Fujifilm cashback on X-Pro2 and selected lenses

I have to say, I was lucky when 2 weeks ago my online store cancelled my orders and refunded the money citing lack of stock of the X-T2 camera. At the time I ordered all the lenses that I wanted as well, but I cancelled the entire order. How…

Nissin i40 compatibility issues and first impressions of CameraSky

It's been confirmed by a number of people that TTL no longer works with Nissin i40 and the new X-T2. Fuji most definitely changed their ttl protocol and their best TTL flash, a third party offering no longer works. No word yet if the Meike…

Ordered new Fujifilm gear

I ordered a Fujifilm X-T2 with 18-55mm kit lens last night and hoping to get my hands on it before the weekend. Possible, but I am not holding my breath. I opted for the 18-55, rather than the 18-135, which I was thinking of simply because that…
