I have only shot one wedding which was for an old work colleague last year. I told him that I didn't think I should do it and that he should hire a professional, as I am not experienced in Wedding photography and I didn't want to be responsible if the results didn't live up to expectation. He...

Stunning!

It is a beaut that's for sure. It's the kind of lens that on paper isn't too versatile, but I find excuses to use it due to the amazing results it can yield. Part Ex'd my 56mm 1.2 for it a while ago and haven't looked back. The extra reach is good obviously, but it focusses much closer than the...

Took the X-T10 and 90mm out today for a whirl around Hamerton Zoo. I am in love with the 90mm that's for sure. DSCF0276.jpg by Gareth Edwards, on Flickr

Now wait for an invoice to follow for £19.99 :LOL:

Gorgeous colours! I am starting to be able to spot 50-140 shots a mile off now (not in a bad way!), as a lot seem to feature swirling elliptical Bokeh. Not quite Helios levels, but getting there I reckon! Gives certain shots a real dreamy look.

Poppy by Gareth Edwards, on Flickr These are the type of shots I just love the 35mm 1.4 for! Obligatory cat shot! :fuji:

Mine fell off within 10 mins of me getting my X-T2 out of the box, but once I screwed it back on it has stayed put ever since. I think it must be under tightened when leaving the factory.

I have that combo and it is fantastic! So convenient. Must admit, not tried it on my Fuji yet though.

One of the not so obvious things I love about mirrorless, is not having to micro adjust or calibrate lenses for the AF to be accurate. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I had to micro adjust most of lenses I had for my Canon and nikon cameras... some to the point where they were almost too far out...

Great review Damian! I was only looking at this flash yesterday to consider. As I am only a very casual flash user the slower recycle time doesn't really bother me, but I'm glad to see HSS!

LOVE that last shot...how the track is bending up into the corner. Fantastic!

I think the lessons learned here are: 1.) Next time, don't ask (although I know it is the courteous thing to do) ;) by the time you are discovered and told to stop you may have already taken some cracking shots 2.) Invest in an unassuming but competent compact camera as a fallback for such...

I think this is one of those situations where if you had a smaller more consumer looking camera you would have been fine. People often draw the line on what they see as professional equipment that they think you will be able to make money from the shots vs. a small camera that they would assume...

a bottle of washing up liquid in the kitchen. not sure why though!
