Latest and Greatest vs. Oldie but Goldie: this Fujifilm Roundup Has it All

Share

Mixed Zone

I guess it is a bit normal that we are drawn to the latest and greatest, the newest and most shiny stuff.

But truth is: there is PLENTY of wonderful gear out there that has its age, but still delivers wonderfully.

And look guys, I know what I talk about, because I did just photograph a family day trip on the mountains with my X-E3 today ;).

So I thought about making a roundup of a different kind: include all the latest and greatest stuff (the 5th generation cameras and the newest lenses), but also the older gear we hardly ever talk about now (4th gen. cameras or older and older lenses).

I hope there will be something among it that you’ll appreciate as much as I did.

    CONCLUSION
    The new Fujifilm GFX100S II is £4999 body only so it is a very significant amount of cash, but if you have the resources, it is a superb camera, massively capable, a pleasure to use and supported by an impressive collection of lenses which includes fast aperture models, tilt/shift and macro optics, and the new GF500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR.
