I did it.
« on: June 17, 2015, 08:02:58 AM »
I've been looking at the Fuji XT-1 for half a year now and I finally pulled the trigger. The camera, a 23mm 1.4f lens and a Rokinon 12mm f2 lens are on their way.

Congrats!   Deep pockets!  What's the 12 mm lens for?  Sounds like a fish-eye or something similar......

Thanks! It's for landscape shots. I do a lot of backpacking and night shots so I got the wider lens. It's almost fisheye. The corners get pretty distorted. The image quality is amazing!

 :IBCOOL: Sweet. A camera you'll take with you will always put out better images than the one you leave at home or in the truck.

We expect a full write up and lots of sample images.  8)

I believe this Fuji has an APS-C sized sensor, so that 12mm lens will have an equivalent 19mm field of view (12x1.6=19).

Next up, the 56mm f/1.2  :drool:
