The X-T1 with the 27mm f/2.8

/

This looks pretty cool.

The 27mm j/2.8 is a bit of an unsung hero in Fujifilm’s lens lineup. But it’s a fantastic little lens and it looks awfully cool on the X-T1. Not only are you left with a cool looking camera, but it's a really small a package.

How small?

Here it is next to the X100S. Larger, sure, but not significantly. And in fact, with the X-T1's magnesium body it actually "feels" remarkably similar to the X100S because it is so dense. Looking at the specs of each, the X-T1 with 27mm f/2.8 weighs in at 468g. The X100S is 405g.

I love the feel of the X100S, but I have to hand to Fujifilm for making the X-T1 as light as they did. It’s no X-E2, but it's still pretty pretty weightless with the right lens attached. It also feels better in the hands than the X-E cameras do. I’ll have much more to say about that in my full review, which is coming soon!

I was in need of an outlet more appropriate than my personal site to share thoughts and opinons on Fuji and mirrorless cameras when 140 characters wasn’t enough. An RSS feed was also recently requested for the site and unfortunately that’s not possible on Squarespace without setting up a “blog” so here we are.

Welcome to Fuji Views

I’ll use Fuji Views as an announcement platform for Fuji vs. Fuji comparisons and my reviews, in addition to observations on the latest happenings in the world of Fujifilm. I may even link out to Fuji-related content I find particularly interesting.

It should be noted that while I take a fair bit of pride in the thoroughness of my vs. articles, these posts will be more casual in nature. The views expressed here will be my own. I may start with republishing some of the Fuji content that already exists on my personal blog.

Should you be interested, you can subscribe to the Fuji Views RSS feed here or in the right column. Thanks and hope you enjoy it!
