TESTIMONIAL

The travel and landscape photography both requires lite and efficient gear. That is to say a camera which is built with a high resolution and dynamic sensor (over 20 Mpix), and also high quality lenses, allowing fine details restitution. Such characteristics I couldn’t imagine fit my needs until I was given the opportunity to test an X-T2.
Many times the filled experience demonstrated me I wasn’t as creative as when I was using a compact equipment. A small waterproof bag containing a body, two optics (10-24 and 16-55 mm) and my filters poach, allow much more mobility rather than with my full frame reflex and lenses, and thus much more focus on my subject. Released from these restrictions, I get my freedom of moves back.
Easy taking in hand coupled with flawless (that I believe essential) seduced me as much as the intuitive access to specific functions and spanner adjusters. Having the sensation to turn a f-stop for real and finding the right buttons at the right place, gave me an incredible efficiency and an overall experience of great simplicity. What I specifically appreciate with Fujifilm cameras, is the intimate feeling that the gear was thought and designed for photographers, getting rid of the unnecessary options. In a nutshell, everything is clear, logical and optimized for shooting.
Regarding the image finish, I can get a dynamic that is more convenient for my needs in contrasts as colors (PROVIA mode), saving some precious time for more field experiences. Indeed, I try to spend as less time as possible for processing my photographs. Film profiles I used with silver process cameras, allow me to get closer to my initial intentions. That’s a major highlight.
