How good is the Fujifilm X-T5? If you love the X-T3, you're going to love the X-T5. The only negative is also its positive, the 40MP sensor. If you don't need it, then I recommend the X-T4, although you have to deal with a fully articulating screen. The new XF30mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro is also an awesome everyday lens. I barely used it as a macro lens. Check out my latest video, as well as my article in Fujilove Magazine here. Thanks for watching and happy shooting!!

Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 For Fujifilm X Mount. The Perfect Kit Lens?
The new (for X Mount) Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary lens is an amazingly compact zoom lens for the Fujifilm X Series. As small as the famous XF18-55mm f/2.8-4 R OIS (but lighter), this made-in-Japan zoom lens from Sigma has a constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range. Although as compact as a kit lens, this Sigma zoom lens performs closer to Fujifilm's professional zoom lenses. This is my first shooting impressions of this lens. Please wait for my long term review as I have only had this lens for a few days. Thank you Sigma USA and Sigma Japan for sending me this lens to review.

Super-Telephoto-Zoom For $2000 USD? New Fujifilm XF150-600mm f/5.6-8 R L...
I'm not really a super-telephoto photographer, nor do I photograph birds, but this lens made it a lot of fun to do both. Check out my article on Fujilove as well:
Fujifilm X-H2S + XF18-120mm F4 LM PZ WR: UNBOXING + First Look
This is a long video so buckle your seatbelt!! The time has finally arrived to announce the brand new Fujifilm X-H2S. It's not just a new camera, but the release of the fifth-generation sensor and processor combination on the 10th anniversary of the X-Mount. The new Fujifilm X-H2S has the latest 26MP X-Trans V Stacked BSI CMOS Sensor and the X-Processor V with AI Digital Signal Processor 1GHz main + 600MHz sub (for IBIS). I was a huge fan of the original X-H1 and I'm glad Fujifilm decided to keep it in the line-up, but how much has it strayed from the original design and concept? Is it worth selling your X-T4, or should you wait for the X-T5? Is this camera more for videographers, or can photographers still utilize the power and speed of this new sensor and processor? Let's find out.
This is just my unboxing and first look at the new X-H2S and the new XF18-120mm F4 LM PZ WR lens. Wait for my first shooting impressions video coming soon, as well as my first look at the new XF150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR. I will have another video in a few days going over the benefits of buying some older X Series camera bodies, so don't forget to subscribe and turn on notifications. Thanks for watching, thanks for your support, and happy shooting!!

UNBOXING: The New Wotancraft SCOUT (Best Everyday Bag?)
Wotancraft has been on a roll lately with their everyday bags. I love the Pilot camera bag series, but my favourite bag so far has been their Lightning Rider, which technically isn't a dedicated camera bag. The new Scout is also an everyday bag, but it's also a camera bag. I wonder which bag I'll end up using the most. Check out my latest video and below are affiliate links:

First Look: Leica M11 Rangefinder Digital Camera
It has finally arrived, the new Leica M11. I'm a huge fan of their prime numbered M cameras. The original M3 from 1954, the controversial M5, my beloved M7 and now the new digital M11. I've only had it for a week and it is a pre-production model so I'm not really supposed to pixel peep. However, I will insert a screenshot from Lightroom and you can see how great this sensor and lens is (35mm Summilux FLE).
As always a big thank you to KEH Camera for sponsoring this video. Check out their website to see what they have in stock with over 60,000 items. If you're sitting on gear you no longer use, consider selling it to KEH so they can find it a new home for a fellow photographer. KEH is also an official Leica dealer, so please enquire about the new Leica M11 with a KEH rep and let them know that I sent you.
