Fujifilm X100 Do-over

In November of 2011, I auditioned, loved and was simultaneously very disappointed by the Fujifilm X100 camera. I returned it and wrote about my experience.

I miss its incredible flash sync. Now that I realize that its 1/2000/s maximum flash sync is what allows the flash to fire in moderately lit restaurants without distracting other diners (just as one example), I’m getting back on the Fuji wagon. Mostly, I didn’t want them to release an X200 and regret keeping the very flawed X100.

But I miss it and I’m back. If I could only have one camera, this would be it. (Well, something else for video probably, if possible.) I’d give up my D90 and all its lenses for an X100 if I had to stick to one. I plan to buy it as early as next month (May).

Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-S G

I’ve had this Nikkor 50mm lens for over a week now. I’m very happy with it. I wish it were wider, but that’s the shakes with a DX body.

Photo-wise, I don’t miss my 85mm f/1.4. I do miss its sexy body, but I’ll get over it.

PJ20

Went to see the screening of PJ20, the Pearl Jam documentary by Cameron Crowe, last night at the Tampa Theatre. Went with Oscar, Jeff and Aric. Had a great time.
