TESTIMONIAL

French photographer living in Paris, I produce many reportages and street photographies, where the ladies presence and water are very important .
Thus, I often go to Venice, a city that inspires me so much for its architectural beauty and its contents, as its population (Venetian and tourists). There is always an exceptionnal atmosphere.
When Fujifilm has introduced the X-Pro1, I was immediately interested by that camera… I had before the experience of cameras with telemeter, especially the X -PAN HASSELBLAD, manufactured by Fujifilm, (from them I could appreciate the superb quality of both the body and its lens).
The X-Pro1 JPEG quality is so good that I always work in RAW + JPEG fine, and then I make some minor corrections with Adobe Lightroom.
Usually, I work with a wide-angle lens (14mm to 23mm), and I appreciate the quality and reproduction, even in low light of the X – Pro1 + Fujinon lenses.
The system X-T1, XF23mm/f1.4 and XF55 -200mm zoom gives me more arguments to leave the DSLR cameras, heavy and bulky! That makes only a week that I work with the X-T1 and the first results are excellent. I am waiting for the 56mm f1.2…
