Awhile back I wrote about my new little camera..the Fugi X-E2. I wanted something that performed like a dslr but felt more like a point and shot..I have two of the Canon camera's from the G-series but they were not giving me what I wanted..so after much research and talking to friends and store associates, I got the Fuji. It came with a kit lens that is lovely and great for walking the hood or for inside work but I wanted more, it seems I always want more, so last week I bought the high end 18-135. In 35mm format that equals 24-210. Perfect. I was so pleased with the weight of it and was amazed that the little camera held it so well. Last Saturday I took my new friend for a walk to test it out. We went to Long Hill, a Trustee's of the Reservation property and spring was just popping there.
So I wanted to share with you a few photo's from that day for my Friday Finds..all of the photo's are unedited, except one, where I added a bit of light. I wanted you to see what this camera does SOOC. So many people share photo's that they take with equipment but most often they have been edited first..The fuji is special in that the color is amazing, just like the 35mm film colors. I did have a polarizer on. I never leave home without it...so, here we go. I would love to hear your opinions on the results...and I promise next time they will be edited but I have to say...unedited makes for fast processing...
So after just one time out I am in love with this lens..I love the bokeh, the sharpness and the range. Just enough for what I wanted it to do..I was even pleased to see that it was capable of giving a bit of a macro feel to some of the flowers. The color in the camera is really amazing to me. So no more ropes around my neck for the every day things. This one can sit in the car with me. I would never give up my big Canon's though for the big and important jobs...well, not until Fugi and I become much better friends...Enjoy your weekend and your Finds..wherever they may be.
"When I'm taking my last breath,
I want to look at how I used up the best of myself.
How much did I sweat,
push, pull, fall, hit, crash, explode?
My dream is to be so well used that in
my last half-second, I just burst into dust."
