Fujifilm X-T2 in 2023. My Impressions After a Month + Minolta HiMatic 7s GIVEAWAY Winner Announced!
How does the Fujifilm X-T2 fare in 2023? Especially when coming from a full-frame mirrorless camera, namely the Sony a7R II.
In this video I share a few impression after having used the X-T2 for a bit over a month.

In this video I talk about the Industar 50-2, 50mm f/3.5.
It's an extremely popular vintage soviet lens from 60 years ago, made in the millions. Despite it's many flaws it's a joy to use, it's stupidly cheap, easy to find and most importantly, it makes really good images.
I talk about five reasons why you should definetly own a copy and four reasons why you should perhaps think twice before getting one.

In this video I review the YASHICA ML 28mm f/2.8.
It's a fantastic lens, probably one of the best vintage wide angle lenses out there and certainly my favourite.

It's a good vintage lens, perfectly workable, however sadly, a very forgettable lens.
