TESTIMONIAL

I have been working with heavy-bodied gadgets since the very beginning of my photography career. They have been serving my purpose for journalistic photography ever since. In 2013, I realized that I needed more practical and lighter gear for myself. That is when I decided to get a Fujifilm X. And to be very honest, that has been one of the best decisions I have ever taken in my entire life on selecting gear. Not to brag, but, the experience I have had with X-Series so far has been overwhelming. The color tones that are brought out in every image is simply outstanding. Also, the mind-blowing Black and White accord gives every image a film-camera effect. With a very handy and light camera body, Fuji is my perfect choice for street photography. The way it captures every detail- be it in the highlighted area or in a very shadowy part within the photo- one can understand the beautiful mix of color and lights. The pictures that I have clicked with Fuji have given me self-satisfaction. This particular gadget is a gateway to my old nostalgic film-camera days. The feeling of savoring the essence of the “film-era” is everything that I didn’t realize I had been looking for in every camera so far.
