As many of you know, I am a huge fan of Fujifilm’s prime lenses for their compact X-system cameras. In my most recent kit, I had the following XF primes: 14mm f/2.8, 16mm f/1.4, 23mm f/1.4, 23mm f/2, 35mm f/1.4, 50mm f/2, and 90mm f/2. I was, and still am, impressed with every last one…

One of the biggest news in the film community last year was the return of Fuji’s Neopan Acros. This black and white, 100 ISO film was known for its sharpness and contrast, and for a while now has been Fuji’s only B&W offering worldwide. Many lamented the loss of Neopan 400 and 1600 many years…

This summer is not like any other as we all know, but it’s nice to be able to get to do some of our usual things and take advantage of sunnier days wherever possible. I moved to BC 15 years ago from Manitoba and every summer I take a few weeks and go home to…
