The Fuji X-T2; Still Has That "Fuji Look"

Layers; Orange to Green to Blue to White
Fuji X-T2, Fuji 50-140mm f/2.8 lens @ 56.3mm; 1/80th sec. @ f/8; ISO 200 (click to enlarge)
Joyfully, I have been continuing to photograph with my new Fuji X-T2.  It is somewhat different than the X-T1 in it has more menu options (all laid out in a very logical and easily found way) as well as more refined and advanced capabilities.  The more I use it, the more I am liking it.  I only have a couple of niggles but they are so small that they are really not a criticism nor complaint.  It seems this particular camera is pressing all the right buttons for me.

Right now the three features I like best (not prioritized) are the "joystick" as it is now commonly referred, which allows me to easily and quickly and move my focus point. Second is the "My Menu" feature that allows me to add and immediately get to items that I would want to change without having to delve deep into the menu.  Third, is the superior focusing mechanism, both continuous tracking and single.

I wanted to post this image as an example of what I call the "Fuji look."  Many speak of it.  What is the Fuji look?  I can't explain it.  It probably is a bit different for each photographer, but for me it is an intangible quality, quite nuanced, that is found in images I make with my Fuji cameras that is pleasing to my eye but cannot adequately be described in words.  One of the reasons I have now totally switched to Fuji cameras is for that "look" I get in my images.  As they say, you'll know it when you see it.

I continue to happily use my new camera and will have further comments in the future...

Thanks for looking. Enjoy!

  1. I just sold my X-E2 and some other gear... to be ready to buy a X-T2 in the near future. I'm glad you have such good things to say about it. Also... How about some words about the viewfinder of the T2 versus T1. Thanks for your review(s)!! --Peter

    1. Peter, thank you for the comment. Since I have both cameras now, I'll do a side by side comparison. Hopefully, I'll have time over this weekend. If I do, I'll post my thoughts on Monday. Excellent idea.
