For my fellow Canadians—and I suppose my American friends who don’t mind the extra shipping costs—X-T10 preorders come with an official Fuji half case that would normally set you back $100 CDN. I have to say, this setup looks awfully sweet.
I recommend my good friends at Aden Camera for all your Canadian preorder needs.→

I’ve spent the last month or so with a new pair of brilliantly-crafted straps around my next. Check out my review of Nucis Leather straps.
Have you been looking for a way to get closer to your subjects without having to shell out for another lens? Perhaps you’re biding your time until the 120mm f/2.8 R Macro arrives. Either way, my review of Fuji’s latest addition to their accessory line-up has been posted.
An in-depth comparison of maximum closeness with and without the extensions tubes is also underway. So far only the primes are ready for viewing.
Othman Kammah has a brief post showing the difference the Macro Extension Tubes MCEX-11 and MCEX-16 can make on a few of Fuji’s lenses.
Some photographers like to shoot close ups and details. I am one of those people...
I've now had a chance to play with both of these [the MCEX-11 (11mm) and MCEX-16 (16mm)] on the Fuji 18mm, 35mm, and 60mm lenses and though I would share my findings...
I had only seen the charts mentioned by Kammah before, but by the looks of things, those tubes make a huge difference in minimum focusing distance. I should be getting my set in the coming days. Look for a full versus comparison soon.

I’ve posted a review of Fuji’s Arca-Swiss MHG-XT Hand Grip for the X-T1. Grippy it most certainly is, but is it enough to supplant a dedicated L-plate for tripod use? Find out here.
I tend to get a bit obsessive when it comes to weight. I’ll agonize over things like bag purchases because of what material they’re made of and, as a result, how heavy they are. When it comes to tripods, carbon fibre wasn’t a possibility, it was a certainty. I employed the same methods when building a bike and ended up with a ride that goes everywhere with me, lest it get stolen.

Size and weight are the two main reasons I switched from DSLR to mirrorless, and while Fuji’s clever marketing graphic doesn’t perfectly illustrate the evolution of my gear, it captures the sentiment perfectly for me. I have evolved into a more nimble photographer thanks to “downsizing” my camera system, which also allowed me to downsize other things like my tripod.
The reduction in weight means I’m much more willing to bring my gear with me. I had become a vacation and special events photographer when it came to personal photography with my DSLR. Now I find myself with a camera and shooting much, much more.
Find out how much weight can be saved by going mirrorless in my article, Heavy Issues, Mirrorless vs. DSLR weight.
For a change of pace from my usual “versus” articles, I finally got around to writing up my thoughts and comparisons of these two highly sought after bags. One is from ONA and the other, Billingham. Both bags are fantastic, but which bag comes out on top? Read on to find out.
It’s an interesting bit of kit if you don’t want to be fumbling with the ISO dial on your X-T1. I’ll probably fund it just because it’s cool, and I’d like to see more stuff like this for Fujifilm gear, but I don’t know how much I would use it. Fujifilm cameras have taught me to embrace things the camera can decide for me a little more. I was an ISO holdout for years—always feeling I needed to control it—while being strictly an Aperture Priority shooter. Now I find I’m either in Aperture Priority with everything else set to auto, or full manual. However, when shooting manually, it’s always during very precise, carefully considered shooting. I’m almost never so desperate to change my ISO that holding the button would be an irritant whereas having my ISO changed inadvertently would be.
To sum up, it’s great stuff like this is available, but I think Fujifilm got their dial locking as “right” as they possibly could have. Nikon, on the other hand...
