Fuji X100 still a great camera

 Despite the x100 is already 7 years old since the first launch in 2010 and is using a 12 Mp sensor, the images it comes out is still looking great.

The low light perfomance is still great and if you ask me to bring just one camera and lens out, my first choice is still X100 with the fixed 23mmmf2 lens. My other XT1 with various lenses will be my second choice or for more specific tasks like the important event or nature shots.

The X100 or it's newer models to me is unreplaceable by any X mount cameras w the similar 23mmf2 WR lens. These are the reasons:-
1) The X100 fixed lens has a slim profile
2) There is a built-in 3 stops ND filter which is very convenient. Just a pres of a button to cut off extra lights.
3) The Marco mode of the x100 is much better
4) The 23mmf2 lens on X100 can turned into a 18mm or 35mm lens with add-on of the coversion lens.

Wild Life in Gardens By the bay east

This piece of land is a reclaimed land and after it has developed into a garden, wildlife has started to thrive!

Otters were seen and many birds have come to stay.

All shot with Xt1 with 55-200mm.

Singapore Zoo (XT1 w 55-200mm)

Has been a while I have posted in the blog. Today, I brought my son to the Zoo as he was interested to see the newly renovated reptile enclosure.

Brought my XT1 and the XF55-200mm to shoot.

May Day Sunrise

A set of Sunrise photos done at Lower Seletar Reservoir. Today is a public holiday and I woke up to a beautiful start of the month of May.

Shot with X100 and XT1 w Zeiss 12mm.

All shot with Velvia simulation available of both old X100 and newer XT1.

XT1 w 12mm. From the comparison with the XtranII processor &  newer XT1 16 MP sensors Vs the X100 12MP Cmos sensor, the XT1 seems to have more dynamic range & is better in holding back the blowing out of highlights.

Fuji WCL-X100

This wide angle conversion lens was bought 2 weeks back and this is the first time I mount on the Fuji X100. It will become a 28mm wide angle equivalent lens once mounted. 

After mounting, I felt the weight and distribution of the X100 become like another interchangeable lens camera. The magic of the X100 fixed slim lens was gone. 

I also had to adjust my style of shooting as I need to move in closer for the shot. I still prefer the 35mm equivalent lens. Nevertheless, the shots are good as shown below. 

Comes handy for landscapes and when the the area is too narrow for one to move backwards.

Will most likely to use this lens for the special occasion and it will not be my everyday focal lens.
