Continue to post →: Fujifilm X100S and Sony A7 ComparisonWith my X-Pro1 out of commission and my X-T1 headed back to B&H because of the light leak issue, I thought I would shake things up a bit by renting the Sony A7 and FE 35mm f/2.8 lens.

Continue to post →: First Long Exposures with the Fujifilm X-T1Since the Fujifilm X-T1 was announced in January, I’ve been on the fence about purchasing one to replace my X-Pro1.
