TESTIMONIAL

I have had the opportunity to use the X100, X-Pro1 and now the incredible X-Pro2. I like the traditional feel of the cameras; they’re quick and uncomplicated to use producing beautiful files.  From the beginning with the X100, Fujifilm have developed a range of cameras for photographers who love the act of making pictures. The traditional and intrinsic nature of the cameras, simple and pure yet deceptively powerful and technically advanced.  The X100 was the return to a classic operating camera that is digital but film like in appearance.   The X-Pro1 had the advantage of interchangeable lenses, larger sensor and quick focusing. The X-Pro2 is a serous digital range finder. At first I was using it as a second camera to my medium format digital but it didn’t take long before it was equal to and with is size and ability has many advantages over the larger camera.  It provides me with the flexibility and freedom that I haven’t experienced for a very long time in photography. That instinctive nature between photographer and the camera. It’s invigorating to enjoy “making” a photograph again.
