Testimonial

Firstly, this equipment is discreet so I can go more unnoticed in the field, especially in risky countries but it also helps me get in touch more easily with the people I capture, as opposed to imposing SLRs. The menus and functions of the X-Pro1 and X-T1 cameras are easy to use, saving a lot of time in the field. The file quality and rendering make it possible to deliver a texture truly reminiscent of silver-based printing when you do exhibition prints – no need to add special filters, the smooth part of images has vanished.
Secondly, the wide range of lenses makes it possible to work in any situation, from landscapes to portraits, from news stories to corporate assignments, with a very high optical quality.
Lastly, although I give my equipment a rough time when I work on assignments abroad, both the camera bodies and lenses have never failed me.
