Fujifilm F700 Digital Camera

forms a perfect match with the Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera

Thanks to the camera advisor at B&H I own the beautiful Fujifilm X-T20 camera. Although I have a super zoom digital this is my first semi-professional digital camera. My kit includes the compact 18mm - 55mm lens and I purchased the the slower compact 55mm - 200mm to round out my system. This lens is a worthy addition. Please note that it is a manual lens that will not communicate with this camera. To use remember to: GO TO SETTINGS - SETUP (wrench icon) - BUTTON/DIAL SETTING -SHOOT WITHOUT LENS- and turn ON. Reverse after you finish shooting. Great lens, great price, thanks again B&H...

I started out with digital but have gone back to film for the colors and process. I find that I shoot a lot less but score more keepers when I’m shooting film. With digital, I end up with too many photos and less keepers. Something about the mindset. However, with the X-Pro3, I find myself shooting as if I’m shooting film. This is the closest thing you get without actually shooting film. This camera is a beast. It’s Fujifilm’s most sacred camera. They fund the development of this camera with their other mainstream cameras like the X-T3. It’s like how Porsche treats their 911. The OVF is a blast to use, especially with the Fujicrons (f2 lenses). Mine is glued to the XF 35 f2; no blockage in the viewfinder. The OVF allows you to live the moment a little more authentically because it’s pretty much real life, unaltered. I’m glad I got the Dura Black because I feel this camera will be with me for a long time. I may even pass it on to my kids. This is Fujifilm’s most proud camera.

I recently decided to go back to using a digital Leica (M-262) as my primary camera. I was able to afford the purchase by selling my FujiFilm digital kit. To be honest, my cameras were several years old and getting a little long in the tooth. I figured I should sell them before they were worth pennies. I still own a Leica M6 35mm film camera and the most amazing FujiFilm X-100F digital camera. I already own two Leica lenses, a 1970 50mm f2 Summicron and a 90mm 2.4 Summarit. I felt the need for a faster lens. I already owned the Voigtlander 35mm 1.4 Nokton Classic which has great image and build quality so I eagerly awaited the release of the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm 1.2. This lens was anticipated to be an amazing alternative to the very expensive Leica 50mm lenses. I purchased my lens from B&H Photo in New York. I have always had good luck purchasing from them as they are very trustworthy and reputable. My Lens arrived new and amazingly well constructed as I expected. I do wish the lens came with the matching hood and maybe a dust pouch or bag. It just came in standard protective box and packaging (yawn). I think they are missing the mark by not adding some updated presentation packaging. I have found the lens to be very sharp and has a very nice Bokeh. Any lack of sharpness has been caused by being out of practice with the manual focus rangefinder, my eyes starting to age, astigmatism in my dominant eye and my now use of the dreaded spectacles. I am amazed at the image quality and construction of the Voigtlander. I have owned many 50mm lenses from different manufacturers to include the Canon 50mm L 1.2 and I have to say that this little guy (Voigtlander) takes the cake. It has amazing character to it.

I bought this tripod to support my new FujiFilm GFX 50sii digital medium format camera. I was replacing an older model Gitzo aluminum tripod with a ball head. I have used the Manfrotto Befree a few times in cold weather (I live in British Columbia, Canada) and it has held up well in the snow. I am surprised by how light and compact this tripod is, given the maximum payload. So far, I am very happy with my purchase.

I use it as a back up for my digital camera.

Use it on my FujiFilm camera

This was purchased to tote my newly acquired Fujifilm XE-1 digital camera. The thing I like most about Billingham bags is the feel of the canvas cloth used in them. It's not the coarse, scratchy ballistic nylon that most bags are made of, but more like fine twill, very rugged, but smooth to the touch. The leather work is exceptional as well. The closest thing to a negative I could think of is that getting the velcro dividers positioned is a bit tricky, but I found using a large index card would allow me to get them placed where I wanted them. I then slipped the card out and pressed the velcro to the interior and the problem was solved.

Use it in a Fujifilm camera and it works excellently.

I love this camera it is the best of the best for a digital camera.
