During this review, I will talk about the Fuji x-t2  and show plenty of images I have shot

If you told me this time last year I would no longer be lumping around my 21kg camera bag full of Canon gear, I would have most likely have laughed at you. Thanks to a loan of the Fuji X-T2 over a long weekend in September 2016 and a promise I would not be disappointed, here I am now with my second blog about the camera. You will notice a few things with my blogs….. I am rubbish at writing (cheers dyslexia)… I don’t like writing a lot… And I do not write blogs very often.

 It has been 244 days since I got my Fuji and had sold all My Full frame DSLR gear and still to this day I do not miss it in the slightest. The only thing I miss is the lens selection that I did have, but that is only due to me having not built up my collection of Fuji lens yet, they are getting there now though.

I have used the camera primarily for Landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes and night sky shots. I have been using it out in all elements and it has not given me any issues. I have had it out in the rain and high winds of the Peak district in the middle of winter and it keeps on going fine. The camera has even been knocked about while using it and I have still not noticed any scratches on it yet.

The best user functions on the camera for me have to be the very responsive Live view, viewfinder and the tilt screen. Next up has to be the dual slot sd then it has to be the Focus Peaking. This I have found to work best for me in low red. It would appear that you can get the focus most accurate with that

My X-T2 Loves having a photo taken in the local environment as you can see below

Here are a few of the images that were shot at the locations above.

These were all shot using the Fuji 10-24mm Lens. In my opinion, if you are going to be going out to shoot a lot of landscapes then make the investment, it is reliable, sharp and most often found on the front of my camera.

My Master’s uni shooting

For part of my Master’s studies work, I am shooting some odd subjects that you can read about elsewhere on my site. For this, it involves a lot of on-location studio light and a nice wide angle lens for the job. Luckily Samyang has just launched the Fuji fit tilt-shift lens that is now next on my list to add to the collection

So next stop was the Norfolk and Norwich Festival

For this, I had a selection of lens but I found I was mostly using the 16-55mm and the 100-400mm as this was covering most of what I was needing to shoot.

I found the camera to be responsive with keeping up with the action and when I needed it to take an image it was ready. The nicest part of the shooting for me has to be the detail and the colour that is captured in each shot

Fast things. Raf Marham and Raf Conninsby

A good way to play with the lens is to head to the nearest MOD airfield and have a session with the lens there. Fast yet, lots of noise and a great subject to shoot. It was after shooting here that I realised that I was going to have to think a bit more about how the Autofocus would work at its best.

British Super Bikes

The next stop to talk about was the British Superbikes free practice at Snetterton Race circuit

For this, I took the Fuji 100-400mm lens

For this session, it was going to be a challenge. It was a very nice warm day but the wind was blowing a good one all day. To the point that it was bowing you about when trying to pan. Having now had a good mess about with the focus settings on the camera, I concluded that best for me to shoot with the lens was the focus set on Af-C and then set on zone 5 with single point focusing being the way I got the best results. And if I am honest I also found that  with the burst rate on CL it was more than adequate for what I needed
