It’s not a massive bag, but it’s not small either. These days I am using a Domke F2 (black canvas) bag. I also used a Lowepro backpack for a long time, but as I often have to pull my camera back out of the bag just as I am about to leave a venue, a shoulder bag is the way I go these days (mostly). There was a time when I shot Nikon alongside my Fuji’s, but with the release of the Fujifilm XF50-140mm f2.8 my D800 (amazing camera) ended up staying at home, and after six months or so of no use my full Nikon kit was sold. At the time of writing this post, I am putting the finishing touches on a book featuring the last 7 years with the SNJO. I am currently the official photographer for the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra (SNJO) and my pictures have been featured on album covers, tour posters and magazine publications. I shoot all types of music, but mostly jazz. I sort of fell into the genre of music and over the last seven years, I’ve shot more than 300 artists and taken more than 50,000 pictures as a music photographer.

This is not just a great feature for those of us shooting in dark music venues, but for portraits against black or dark backgrounds or any kind of night shooting. Just make sure that’s ticked and you will see an outline on your frame. CUSTOM SETTING - 'FRAMING OUTLINE (usually the last on the 4th page). It’s called ‘Framing Outline’ and it puts a grey outline around the frame on both the electronic viewfinder and the rear LCD screen. So I was delighted when I found (by accident) a feature that is in the X-T2, X-T3, X100F, X100V, and I’m sure all the latest cameras. I often have pictures where my subject’s head is just touching the top of the frame where I thought I had allowed headroom. Tagged: Street Photography, Gear, Lens, FujifilmĪs a music photographer I often have trouble seeing where the edge of the frame is inside my viewfinder while shooting in dark venues. I’ll review this as soon as I get my hands on one, but needless to say…I’m excited! I still love my original Fujifilm 18/2, but it’s never been the best lens for zone focusing on the street. But I did get used to it fairly quickly, plus the 18mm will have much more depth of field than the 27mm

The 27/2 has the same travel distance between 3 meters to infinity and I found that to be very short. My one concern is the very short distance between 2 meters and infinity. The 27/2 is a great little lens, but for street photography using zone focus, this will be amazing!

The focus will be smooth and the aperture ring will have just the right amount of clicks stiffness. This just might be the best street photography lens for Fujifilm, ever!Īs an owner of the Voigtlander 27mm f2 Ultron (review coming shortly), I already know that the built quality on the new 18/2.8 will be premium. By using the included refinishing wax, bags can be restored to its original finish quickly and easily.I have been waiting for this for years! A small and compact, 28mm (full frame equivalent), manual focus lens, with focus tab.

The RuggedWear classic bags feature high-quality, weather-tough, durable cotton canvas that is treated with special non-solvent, environmentally friendly waxes to afford the fabric a lifelong resistance to inclement weather.
